Not only kids of Tiger Moms go to Harvard.

    Dawn Loggins of Lawndale, N.C. is on her way to Harvard, one of the eight world-famous universities in the eastern US. Nobody encouraged her to study or paid for her special classes. This girl created her own future.

    The teen was abandoned by her family last summer, when her parents and two sisters moved to Tennessee. She found herself homeless and had to spend the night on friend's sofas.

    The school bus driver learned about Dawn's situation and invited Dawn to move in with her family. Soon, Dawn had a job at Burns High School. She worked from 6 a.m. to 7:40 a.m. before the first school bell rang. she swept floors and picked up trash again in the afternoons, before diving(跳水)into her studies in the evenings.

    Dawn's hard work paid off, she finished school with a 3.9 GPA and scored 2,110 on the SAT.

    "There were times when I felt like it would be easiest if I gave up," the 18-year-old said." But it was never in me to give up, because I realized that I was never going to be successful unless I got an education."

    Even before Dawn's family left her, she led a difficult life. Her family was poor and cups of noodles were often the only food. Dawn "studied by candlelight" because her parents couldn't afford to pay the electricity bill(电费).

    Dawn has now reconnected with her family. They are proud of her accomplishments(成就) and are attending her high school graduation.

    Long ago, there was a queen who lived in a palace (宫殿) , she felt bored and said to her adviser(顾问) ,"AII the things around me are too boring. I need a different kind of beauty. Let everyone know that I will hold a competition for the most beautiful thing in the world. And the prize will be this crown (王冠)."

    Several days later, lots of people came to the competition and showed their things. The queen was not satisfied with what she saw. The adviser suggested, "What you are looking for cannot be brought to you. You must look for it by yourself. What about a journey?"

    The queen was interested in the idea, so she started at once. As she was on top of the hill near her palace, she looked down and suddenly something cried in her heart. "Why have I never found my palace so beautiful?"

    The queen spent one year traveling. She saw beauty on the farm, in the forest and even in the stars twinkling at night on her journey. But what was the most beautiful thing? She thought it over.

    Suddenly, she understood beauty was everywhere. She should learn to enjoy the world. She left the pieces of her crown at different places that she had seen. As time went by, the queen's crown got smaller and smaller until nothing was left.

    She found the most beautiful thing at last. It was the world!

 One day when he was walking by the river, he saw an old woman. She was working on a large piece of iron(铁). 

 Li Bai asked, "What are you doing?"

 She said, "I'm making a needle(针). "

"But how can you make a large piece of iron into a needle?"

 She replied, "I must work hard every day. "

 Li Bai suddenly understood the importance of hard work, and he started to work hard at school.

Alice walks into a small room. First she sees a small blue table. Then she sees a yellow key under it. She gets the yellow key but it doesn't open any of the doors.

She moves a curtain (窗帘) on one of the walls and finds another door, a red one. She puts the key in the lock. Oh! It's right. Alice opens the door and looks through it. Then she sees a big garden with some flowers in it.

"Oh, how beautiful!" Alice says, "I want to go into the garden, but I'm too big. I can't get through the door."

She walks back to the small blue table. There is a cup on it now. Next to the cup, there is a purple card.

She reads the words on the card, "Drink me, and then you can go through the door." At that time, the phone rings. She finds it's only a dream(梦).
