      When William Stidger taught at Boston University,he once thought about the people that he hadn’t thanked in his life. They taught him,encouraged him or cared a lot about him.

      One was a teacher. She once taught William geography. So he wrote a letter of thanks to her.

      He got the teacher's letter later. It began ,“My dear Willie”. He was very happy. Now over 50  ,he didn't think someone would call him “Willie”. Here is that letter.

      My dear Willie,

      I cannot tell you how much your letter means to me. I'm in my eighties,living alone in a smaU room and cooking my ovun meals. You,/will be interested to knovu that I taught school for 50 years and yours is the first letter of appreciation (感激)I ever got. It came on a cold morning but it made me feel very warm.

      ……

      William cried when he read the letter. She was one of the people that William hadnJt thanked in his past. She helped him to believe in himself. He would never forget her.

V.阅读理解

       As young students,you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big,such as winning the Nobel Prize;they can also be small,such as becoming one of the 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?

       Andrew Matthews,an Australian writer,tells us that making your dreams real is life's biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects,or that it's impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.

       In fact,everyone can realize his dream. 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 every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is,in fact,made up of 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 help you to get better exam results,while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
