 Lots of us have dreams of doing big business when we grow up. However, Moziah Bridges, a 14-year-old boy in the US, is now the CEO of his own company. He {#blank#}1{#/blank#}   ( sell) $200,000 bow ties(领结) since 2011.

 One day about four years ago, when Moziah  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (shop) for bow ties, he found they were only in "ugly" black and red. He wanted a change. So he asked his grandma {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (teach) him how to sew（缝）. and finally developed the talent of creating bow ties. However, his first bow tie{#blank#}4{#/blank#}   (not look) nice. The boy never gave up and kept on{#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (practice). He used colorful cloth with different pictures. His parents and friends started to like his bow ties. Then he tried to sell them online to several stores in the south. Moziah's bow ties soon {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  (become) popular.

 Now his business has increased quickly. As Bridges' mother said, "You don't have to wait until you're older. If you{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (have) a dream, just go for it."

      Learning in class is a way for students to study. Students sit in the classroom and  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to the teacher. Is this the  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} way for students to learn something? Of course not. There is another way to learn, that is, students can teach   {#blank#}3{#/blank#} .

      How do you teach yourself ? The {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  thing you must do is reading. Read something you are interested in,   {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  what you have to read. The second is that you must ask yourself {#blank#}6{#/blank#} . You can write down the questions. A clever student is usually good at  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} questions. The third is to answer the questions yourself   {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  thinking hard, by reading the text or other books, and sometimes by asking other people. This is the way of teaching yourself. And you must do all these by yourself. If you keep  {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  like this for a long time, you are sure to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  in your study.

Subject: The Riding for the Disabled Association
Hi Christine,
Sorry I haven't emailed lately —I've been very busy since becoming a volunteer for the Riding for the Disabled Association.
Every Saturday, I help to get the horses {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  for the disabled(残疾) riders. Many more disabled people want to ride {#blank#}2{#/blank#} than you'd imagine. It's a disadvantage that I don't know how to ride —I'd love to got on long rides with the riders— but I'll learn soon {#blank#}3{#/blank#} . Right now, I'm just happy to be able to lead the horses around for the disabled riders.
    I'm{#blank#}4{#/blank#}  helping to organize a sale, which will be {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  next month. It's a lot more work than helping the disabled. I need to collect second-hand things to sell at the sale. There are {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  things available(获得的) than I thought, but I'm sure we'll have enough{#blank#}7{#/blank#}  next month.
     I hope the sale raises more money than last month's walk. It was rainy, so too few people took part in the event. Last week, we held an auction(拍卖). The auction took much less {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to organize than the walk. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} , for some reason, people offered too little money for the things, so we didn't raise enough money.
     I'm {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you some pictures in the letter, as well as a speech I gave last week.

    Most Chinese children seem to get {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they want. Is this a sort of spoiling(溺爱) or love? I wonder. To my surprise, it seems that the life of a Chinese child is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (real) hard. Without doubt , the child is the very centre of a whole circle of adults, but {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the other hand, he or she is also {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (expect) to start studying according to adults' wishes. Many children of my son's {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (age) take painting classes, piano lessons, and even English lessons. It looks as if Chinese adults think {#blank#}6{#/blank#} just playing without learning anything is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} waste of time.

    So from this point, Western children appear spoiled, just because they are allowed{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (play). But without this sort of play, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} can Western children develop such free and rich imaginations? In fact, the connection between this imagination and the creativity is so important in the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (child) future life.
