Ann is a newspaper reporter. She chose this1so she could travel around the world. The work has taught her many unforgettable (令人难忘的) lessons. She has seen wars, earthquakes and death. But she has 2 seen courage, hope and happiness.

    Last year, she won an award for her reporting in Africa. She was very proud 3 it. At first, she thought she got the award because of her good work. But then she realized that she should thank many other people for 4 help.

    Ann was born in Jamaica. Her family was not poor, but it was not 5 , either. Her parents had to 6 hard so that she could go to school. At school, Ann was not a good student, 7 she enjoyed writing because her English teacher said, "Ann, you are a wonderful 8 " The teacher encouraged her all the time.

    Later, Ann went to university in Canada and then 9 a job. It was very difficult. Then, one day, she went to see the editor of a newspaper in Ottawa. The editor gave her a job. "Everyone needs a 10 at first." he said.

    Annie always loved the state of Hawaii. She read many books about Hawaii l and studied Hawaii at school. She asked her mom 1 they could ever go to Hawaii for their family holiday. "I don't know," said Mom, "Hawaii is far away, and the trip would 2 lots of money." Annie wanted to start 3 her Christmas, New Year, and Children's Day money4 the trip. "That will take a long time," she thought to5

    One day Annie bought a travel magazine. It had a form to fill out to 6 a prize. "Oh my God!" she said to her friend Mandy. "Look at7the prize is —a trip to Hawaii !" Annie was so excited about the8 to win a trip to Hawaii. The trip was for one week.

    A few weeks went by, and Annie's mom got a(n) 9 from the travel company, Leisure Time. They 10 Annie, but she was still at school. Annie's mom talked to them and couldn't 11 it, Annie won the trip to Hawaii. When Annie got 12 ， Annie's mom shared the 13 news with her, "Well, you are finally going to make your 14 of going to Hawaii come true," said Annie's mom. "I will start to pack," laughed Annie, How 15 Annie is! If you want to achieve your dream, try your best to make it, no matter how tiny the chance is.

    Life is not easy, but I'd like to say, "When anything happens, believe in yourself."

    When I was young, I was 1  shy that I couldn't talk to anyone. My classmates often 2 me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, something happened. It changed my life. It was an English speech contest. It meant I had to 3 in front of all the teachers and students in my school!

    "Come on, Dear. Believe in yourself. You are sure to 4  ." Then, my mother helped me 5 the topic—Believe in yourself. I practiced very hard. 6 my mother's great love, I won the first prize in the contest. I could 7 believe my ears. I heard the 8 from the teachers and students. "Congratulations!", my mother said to me 9.

    Since then, everything has changed for  10 . When I do anything, I try to tell myself to have confidence(自信).

John was riding his new bike. When he got to the end of the road, he turned around. He 1 the bike in front of Mom.

"See? I'm good at doing it. Can I ride to the 2 on my own(独自) now?"

Usually, when John rode a bike to the park, Mom or Dad came along 3 him. But this time, he was sure he could do it on his own.

John felt excited to hear(听到) this. The park was not far from home. John looked both 6 when he rode into the street and he 7 his mom's words. At the end of the street, John had to turn right to get to the park. He used his arm to make the signal(信号) so cars would know 8 he was going.

When John got to the park he slowed down(减速). He parked his 9 and ran to find his friends.

"You know what? I rode my bike here all by myself!" John sad. "Do you think it's very 10 to do it on my own?"
