Long long ago, there was a blacksmith(铁匠). He was always unhappy with his life. "I'm always hot as a blacksmith. I want to be a stone on the mountain. There it must be cool." A wise man could change everything. The blacksmith went to the wise man. The wise man said, "Be a stone!" The blacksmith became a stone. A moment later, a stonemason(石匠) came and saw the stone. "It's what I want," he said and began to cut it. The stone cried, "Ouch! I don't want to be a stone. I want to be the sun. That would be great." The wise man said, "Be the sun!" And he became the sun. But the sun was much hotter, so he said, "I don't like this. I'd like to be the moon. It looks cool!" The wise man said again, "Be the moon!" And he became the moon. "This is hotter than being the sun, because the light from the sun shines（照射）on me" he said, "I don't want to be the moon. I want to be a blacksmith again. That's the best life."

    But the wise man said, "I'm tired of your changing. You want to be the moon, now you are the moon, and you'll be the moon in the future."

    To travel around the world is the dream of many adventurous people. But very few people can afford a global tour because hotels, food and airplane tickets are too expensive. Some people, however, have thought of some ways to realise their dreams.

    Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune, a couple from Britain, decided to travel around the world. They have found a good way to pay for their trips. They look after pets for rich house owners. In exchange, they can stay in the houses for free. They have looked after horses, cows, cats, dogs and fish. In two years, the couple has been to Australia, Germany, Spain and Italy. They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are usually very generous and give them food, wine and day trips.

    Another person who tries to realise her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to visit, review and take photos of the best hotels. She shares the places she stays in and the food she eats on the Internet with tens of thousands of followers.

    With these ways of making money, travelling around the world is no longer a dream. More and more young people are thinking creatively to make their dreams come true.

You love reading，but you've read all your books four times，and are tired of reading the same ones. You're planning to go to the library，but don't know what kind of books to get. With the right knowledge，it's easy to choose a good book!

Answer these questions first. What authors do you like？Research books by the authors you've enjoyed，and you can get more of the same type of books. What are your interests？Type your hobbies into your library catalog search. By doing this，you will find books that you might like. Is there a type of book you would like to try？If there is，search the book and read the summary. This will help you decide if the book is right for you. 

Search your house next. Often good books are quietly collecting dust in your own house. Maybe you forget about one，or someone who is living with you has a couple of good books. Also by searching your house，you can find some books that you can read，and they won't even cost you any money. 

Then，ask someone to recommend a good book. You can ask your older brother or sister，your mom，your dad，your best friend，or even your English teacher. Local bookstores often have wonderful recommendations. And when they get to know you，it's even better！ You should ask people who like the same type of books，so that you can get books that match your need. 

 Join a book club，please. Being a book club member is often a way to experience new books with other members. Joining a book club or setting up a book club helps you know who else likes the same books as you，and you can read books that others have read and discuss them. 

Finally，read the first part of each book. Of course，if you have many books，this can be time-consuming. Reading the first part of a book can help you know what books and types of books that you like，and you won't have a hard time looking for books again.
