    Bill is a boy in my class. He is really good at painting (用颜料画). We paint the same thing in the art class. Mine is OK, but his is great. Bill says, "I always paint at night. But ideas often come to me when I'm asleep (睡着). I dream (梦见) about paintings! I often see the finished paintings in my dreams, and the next day I know what I have to do." I can see why I'm not a good painter. When I'm asleep, I often dream about soccer.

    Alan is my good friend. We watch movies every Sunday. It's often at his home. We often watch old movies, Alan watches them and reads about them. I really enjoy talking to him about movies, because he knows a lot about them and he teaches me a lot. Alan doesn't play basketball or soccer and he doesn't play computer games, so some people think he's weird. But it's good to be different (不同的), and I think he's a very interesting boy.

    Karen lived with her parents in the Karoo Basin of South Africa. The Karoo was famous for plant and animal fossils(化石) ,Karen's father was a paleontologist(古生物学家) ,and Karen enjoyed looking at the dinosaur bones in his office. She hoped to discover her own dinosaur someday.

    Every summer, Karen's father invited paleontologists from around the world to the Karoo. As they hiked through the dry land, he would show them fossil samples(样本) within the layers of sedimentary rock(沉积岩) and ash.

    This summer, Karen asked her father if she could go along on the hike. He agreed, but he asked her to stay close by. As they drove to the trail(小径) ,Karen's heart beat quickly with excitement. There were so many places to visit.

    The hike was interesting, but Karen was too curious to stay on the trail. Without asking, she ran down into a nearby ravine(峡谷) and looked among the rocks, Then, he heard her father's voice calling to her. She ran up the side of ravine. Suddenly, she spotted something white and shiny. "Dad!" she shouted excitedly.

    Karen's father stood at the top of the ravine with the other people. They looked worried until Karen pointed to the shiny object. All the paleontologists examined it. They nodded to each other in surprise. It was the skull(骨头) of a dinosaur nobody knew about! The paleontologists took pictures and shook Karen's hands. Her father smiled, "Karen." he said. "You are now the youngest paleontologist in the Karoo!"

Mrs. Brown will go to see her daughter in New York. She wants to take some of her favorite books. She finds an old-book in her bookcase. It's a book about art. Mrs. Brown finds a library card in it. "Oh, it's from the library," says Mrs. Brown. She finds the due date on the library card. The due date is November 20th, 1985, but it's 2023 now! "Oh, I must pay a fine (交付罚款) for it," thinks Mrs. Brown. She doesn't know what to do. She thinks about it. "I can just throw the book out (扔掉). No one will know," thinks Mrs. Brown. So she throws the book into the trash can (垃圾桶). "No, that's not the right thing to do," says Mrs. Brown. Then she takes the book out of the trash can.

I am Lu Xin. I went to Yunnan Province with my parents last summer vacation. We spent a week there. We visited Kunming, Dali and Lijiang. We climbed Kunming Xishan, visited the Stone Forest, went to the Flower Market and went boating on Erhai Lake. We also tasted the delicious food like the crossing bridge noodles. It was really a wonderful trip. And I would never forget it.

I am Ma Yue. Making a trip to Shanghai on May 18 was an experience which I would never forget I arrived in Shanghai at about 2 o'clock, and immediately took a No.5 bus to the sea area. The beautiful blue sea is so large that I couldn't see the other side of it. After getting off the bus, I went straight to the shore. Taking off my shoes, I put my feet into the sea. The sea was cool, and walking in the sea was such a great joy that I didn't want to stop. Then I collected shells. When it got dark, I sat on the shore, watching the sea. The night scene was simply amazing! Finally I had to go back. It was an unforgettable day in my life.

Perry is one of the Australia's most famous women cricketers(板球运动员). She shares her ideas about having dreams and how to make them come true.

 In Perry's view, a dream has to be realistic(现实的). It has to be something you can actually do. " When I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a musician and giving concerts(音乐会) to people from all over the world. But that's not realistic because I'm not good at it, Perry said.

 It's true that all the little dreams we have can lead to a big one. In the beginning. Perry just wanted to be a cricketer. Then, she kept working hard and tried to dream bigger. Now she has the chance to fight for her country in cricket. " That's hard to imagine when I started out, said Perry.

 As we all know, not everything can happen perfectly. All we have to do is never to give up. As a sports person, Perry may lose a game sometimes. Instead of thinking about something bad, she always tells herself." Be persistent(坚持的). Things will get better soon if you never give up.

 Finally, Perry tells us that confidence(自信心) is what gets you through the hardest times. " While facing problems, don't lose heart. Always have confidence in yourself and believe in yourself. When you believe you can, you really can," she said.
