Carol has three sisters. All of them are very beautiful. Sometimes she feels very bad because she doesn't look like them at all. She is short and heavy and she doesn't have big eyes or beautiful hair.

As young girls, her sisters often go to parties on weekends but Carol always stays at home—reading books and doing the homework. She says it's her dream to go to university(大学).

Ten years later, Carol grows up. All her sisters get married(结婚) at a young age and don't live a happy life. But Carol is now a teacher in a university and she spends most of her free time taking trips. Every day her life is colorful.

Well, you see it won't matter if you are not beautiful but you must study hard all the time. That may be the only way if you want to make your dream come true.

When I was in the third grade，I watched a video that showed the discovery of King Tutankhamen's tomb（陵墓）.I remember Carter，going through a narrow hole in the tomb with a candle.A workman asked what he could see."Wonderful things!"Carter said.From that moment，I knew what I wanted to do with my life.

So I decided what I wanted to be at the age of nine，and I made it happen.Seems easy，right？Not quite!The road wasn't easy!I did my studies—university（博士）.But along the way I was told many things，"Shawki was too young and she had no experience.She should get married and have kids".I also needed money（申请补助金）.The first five replies I got said no.Six months later the last reply came and I was excited about it.Finally，I could start my own digging.

Today，I'm lucky to work as an archaeologist（考古学家）.I study the lives of people who lived in Egypt's Nile Delta（埃及的尼罗河三角洲）

For anyone thinking about a job，I would say：Never give up.If you want to do something.keep trying.If people tell you"no"，use that—it will push you.At the beginning

Second，focus on your goals.You don't have to follow people.If they say something has never been done，make it happen.You may be the first to do it!There are always challenges

A lot of primary schools in China are doing something to improve naptime conditions (午休条件)for students.

Recently, Dongxing Experimental Primary School in Quanzhou, Fujian, is popular on the Internet. Why? Because the school uses adjustable(可调整的) sleep desks to help students have a better nap. With a simple turn of a knob(旋钮), desks become comfortable beds. In this way, students can rest in a proper way.

Longteng Primary School in Zhengzhou, Henan, is another example. At school, there are some unused classrooms. These classrooms are now naptime rooms with beds and pillows.

For classroom usage, Tianqi Primary School in Wuhan, Hubei, is planning to make unused indoor sports fields and activity rooms future nap spaces. Teachers in Tianqi said, "Students are excited to hear this news. They are looking forward to having a comfortable place to rest."

In the town of Chashan, Liling, Hunan, Meixia Wanquan Primary School plays an important role for a great number of left-behind children who live too far away to return home for a nap. An organization gave them 130 folding beds to make sure every child could have a proper nap.

The new way of napping at school is not only comfortable but also good for health. Medical experts warn, "If students take naps with their face down, it will increase(增加)their eye pressure and finally lead to some eye problems. The lying-down way of napping addresses these worries, and protects the children's health."
