Everyone has his own dream in the heart. Dreams are like stars in the sky. Dreams are special things which only belong to human beings. Hall, a super intelligent (智能)computer in a science fiction movie, who almost has understood all feelings of human beings, always confuses if he has dreams. After an accident, he realizes1a dream is. It's not what you see during your sleep, but something when you are2. At last, he helps save the members of a spaceship and dies for a pretty dream to build a new world.

How to make our dreams come true is a serious problem. Here6my advice.

How many times have you told yourself that you can't do something? Well, probably you can do it.
Mary was eleven years old and she had something seriously wrong with her nervous system (神经系统). She was not able to walk. In fact, she could hardly move. Though she believed that she had a good chance to get well again, the doctor said that few people could do it after getting this disease. The little girl didn't give up after she heard this. When she was lying in her hospital bed, she believed that no matter what the doctors said, her going back to school was possible.
She was sent to a health center. Every method was tried but none worked. However, she would not give up. It seemed that nothing could beat her. The doctors all admired her and taught her to imagine that she could make it. Every day Mary would lie there, doing her mental (心理的) exercise carefully.
One day, as she was imagining her legs moving again, it seemed as if a miracle(奇迹) happened, the bed began to move. "Look! what I'm doing! Look! I can do it! I moved!" she cried. At this moment everyone else in the hospital was frightened. They were crying, rushing for safety. And everything was falling. It was an earthquake. But Mary believed that she did it, just as she had never doubted that she would get well. And now only a few years later, she's back in school. You see, to such a person who can shake the earth, such a disease is a small problem, isn't it?
The natural world is colorful with humans, plants and animals showing different colors.
Human skin can be many different colors and it changes with the sun, our feelings or our health. This is because of pigments (色素) which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors. So when we feel excited or angry, our heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red. This is why we have the expression that someone "sees red" when they are angry.
Plants also have pigments. Color is important for them to live on. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects which then carry their pollen (花粉) from one flower to another. Bees can see colors that we cannot see, and they follow these to the inside of the flower. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.
Animals also use color for their own need. They protect themselves with different colors in order not to be seen by predators. During summer some wild rabbits are brown, and in winter they are white so that they can hide in the snow so they can't be found or eaten. However, some animals use color as a warning to make predators stay away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way. Nature, however, is very clever, and predators also use colors to attract the animals they feed on.
So we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world. Some uses of color in nature remain ( 保 持 ) unknown, but one thing is for sure: color not only makes our planet beautiful but it is also necessary for our planet to live on.

I once had an unforgettable experience that has affected and directed the way I think and act now.
When I was a seven-year-old boy, my grandfather took me to a fish pond and told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles by the stone. Then he asked to think of myself as that stone. "You may create lots of circles in your life, but the waves that come fromcircles will disturb the peace of all the people around you," he said . "It means that your feelings or actions may disturb others' lives. If you want, the good or peace that comes from your circle is sent to others. , the depression(沮丧)or jealousy(嫉妒)coming from your circle will also spread to other circles. You should allow the good feelings to influence others, not the bad ones, because you are for both. "
That was the time I heard my grandfather told me these. I realized what we thought and done would give out into the world. Then if we are filled with doubt or , we cannot create world peace. We spread the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. These circles are spreading into the world, creating beauty or making troubles to other circles.
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month in the Chinese calendar. People often eat zongzi and row dragon boats during the festival.
Thousands of years ago, people began to throw rice into the Miluo River to feed Qu Yuan on the day every year, because he died in the Miluo River. They thought he was still alive in the river. Now, in order to remember the honest man, people in China often make zongzi. This kind of food is very delicious and popular. The festival is known for zongzi because men and women, the young and the old all like eating zongzi very much.
The festival is also known for dragon boat races. During the festival, people race dragon boats in many places, especially in the south of China. The dragon boat is about 50-100 feet long, 5 feet wide. And there are more than 20 strong men on the boat. They sit in the boat side by side. At the head of the boat, there is a big drum on it. The drummer plays the drum during the race.

Do you know the Tantou New Year Picture (滩头年画)? It's a famous traditional art form in Shaoyang. It is used for the Spring Festival.
The Tantou New Year Picture appeared in the Tang Dynasty first. And it has a long history—more than 1,300 years. Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Tantou New Year Picture has got its special features— bright colors, old and exaggerated images(夸张的图像), common materials and special skills. There are more than 20 steps to make the Tantou New Year Picture. All these steps, from making paper by hand to producing the New Year Picture, are finished in one place.
