1. (2023九下·铁东月考) 阅读理解

To do great things, you must dream great dreams. But dreaming alone isn't enough. You must believe in your dreams and take action.

Do you dare to be a dreamer? Dreamers build bridges between the known and the unknown.

Before you turn your dreams into reality, someone may think you a fool. Pay no heed to those who would kill your dreams.

Besides, feed your mind the mental (精神的) food it needs. There was a farmer who had two dogs that raced every weekend. He took bets (打赌) and always won. One week he'd bet on his black dog, and the black dog would win. The next week he'd bet on the white dog, and the white dog would win. Why? One week he'd feed the dog he wanted to win a good diet, and just give the other dog enough to live. The dog that was well fed was stronger and would always win the race.

Your mind is the same way; it grows stronger or weaker with what you feed it. The diet of the mind is what gives you the confidence, courage, knowledge, and the direction you need to succeed in your dreams.

Have you been waiting for the right time to reach for your dreams? Have you been waiting for the right chance to reach for your dreams? You're patient with yourself. Now is the right time. Chances will appear when you take action. So what are you really waiting for?
