24、When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? If you were like most children, you probably let your imagination run wild. Maybe you dreamed of flying into space. Then perhaps over years, your dreams became more realistic (现实的). Or you might have given up dreams.

If that’s true, then there is a day for you. January 13th is Make Your Dreams Come True Day. If you’ve been putting off reaching your dreams, this is the day to make a fresh start.

It’s important to have dreams because dreams can really give us the energy to succeed in life. Dreams encourage us. They might take a few years even a lifetime to achieve. The important thing is that you’re always working toward your dream. And the best way to do that is to set goals (树立目标).

What is the difference between a dream and a goal? It’s been said that dreams are the final destination and that goals are the stops along the way.

Dreams can be very common. But the steps you take to reach them should be very specific (具体的). Your dreams show what you want, but goals explain how you’ll get there. That makes goal setting a necessary step in reaching your dreams.

Many successful people have spoken about dreams. Former (前任的) US Secretary of State Colin Powell explained the importance of working for the dreams. “A dream doesn’t become reality (现实) through magic; it takes decisions and hard work.” Writer Les Brown reminded us that dreams have no age limit (界限). “You are never too old to set another goal or to have a new dream.”

If you’ve been dreaming about doing something for years, start now. Write down your dreams, set up your goals. Then you’ll be on your way to making your dreams come true.

【1】What is the best way to work toward your dream?

A．Setting goals.

A．everyone can have a dream

27、They say that “travel is the best teacher” and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587 — 1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country’s land and geography.

But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son’s love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.

So at the age of twenty and with his mother’s support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.

Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, robbed and beaten during his journeys.

Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.

A．The general details of Xu Xiake’s life story.

B．The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travels.

C．Helpful and hardworking.

D．Supportive and open-minded.

【3】What is true about Xu’s book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake?

A．It was only made public after Xu died.

B．It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.

C．It was the first travel book ever written in China.

D．It was mainly about the different people of China.

【4】What is the correct order for the following events from Xu’s life?

a. He went on his first journey.

b. His book was finally printed.
