As teenagers, you have many dreams．These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small．You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class．
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it?Do you ever try to make your dream real?
Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge．
You may think you are not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer．These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says．
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true．The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is．
Don't let it leave your heart．Keep telling yourself what you want．Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams．
You must also never give up your dream．
There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams．But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself．You need to decide what is the most important．Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book．As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little．This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests．

You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year．You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly．
Perhaps you have been told about some habits (习惯) which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have．
Do you still have any of these bad habits?Check yourself by answering“yes”or“no”to these questions．
(1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?
(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
(3)Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
(4)Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer“yes”to any of these questions,start at once to break the habit．If you move your tips，hold your fingers over them，or hold a piece of paper be-tween your lips while you are reading．Then if your lips move，your will know it and can stop them．
If you point to words，hold the two sides of your book，one side with your left hand，the other side with your right hand．Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading．If you move your head，place your chin (下巴) in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的)．
If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time，you need to work very hard in learning to take in (吸收) more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words．
Even if you do rather fast now，you can learn to read even faster．As you probably have been told，the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance．Read in through groups and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can to make them go．Anyone who practices doing these things will he able to read faster．
