As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.

Once you find a dream, what do you do with（处理）it? Do you ever try to make your dreams real? Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life's biggest challenge（挑战）. You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it's impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing（实现）your dream.

In fact（事实上）, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don't let it leave your heart. Keeping telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of（由……组成）many small dreams.

You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

As you get closer to dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.

In the middle of a dark forest，there lives an owl（猫头鹰）. All the animals know that he is the wisest among all of them. So they often go to him and tell him their troubles. Then the owl always teaches them what they should do.

One day，a little bird goes up to the owl. She is crying. "What's wrong with you? "asks the owl.

"I'm not happy at all. I don't want to be a bird，"the bird says.

"Why don't you want to be a bird? "asked the owl.

"I am so small，weak and useless，"she cries. "I want to be big and strong like the lion. He is very important，but I am not. "

Then the owl whispers something in her ear. At once the bird dries her tears and goes away.

One week later，the bird came back. "Oh，thank you very much. You are a very wise owl. " she says to the owl. "I am very happy now. Every day，I sit on top of the tallest tree and watch for（监视）lions and tigers. When they come near，I shout at the top of my voice. Then my friend all run and hide. They are very thankful（感激的）to me. I am useful and important now"

The wise owl smiles and says，"No one in this world is useless. "

Believe it or not, soon computers and other machines will be able to a-remember you by looking at your eyes! The programme（程序）works because everyone's eyes are different. So in the future you won't have to remember any numbers when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You'll just look at the machine and it will be able to tell that it's you.

In some shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey, people have tested this kind of eye-recognition（眼睛识别）programme already. Soon, this technology（技术）may take the place of（代替）all other ways of finding out who people are.

Scientists are working on other systems（系统）, too. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape（形状）of your hand or even your smell. We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark（记号）made by your fingers（手指）.

Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don't change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to（高达）94%correct. However, some other programmes may only be 51%correct now. In Britain, 91%people say that they like the idea of eye-recognition.

In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!
