Like many Chinese students, her parents had big dreams for her. She felt the weight of her parents’ sacrifices（牺牲）on her shoulders and worked hard to make them proud. Persevering was not easy, though.Sometimes she had to wake up at 4:30 am and study late into the night“But whenever I got tired or discouraged... I would remember something my mother always told me. She said: ‘A good education is something that no one can take away from you.

Mrs. Obama also encouraged Chinese students to study abroad to broaden their horizons（开阔视野）in a speech at Peking University.“ AS the Chinese saying goes:It is better to travel 10.000 miles than to read 10.000 books.” she said. It's not enough to get good grades in school.It’s also important to have real experience with languages, cultures and societies that are different from your own, she noted. Studying overseas can also benefit future international relations. It can help young people from different countries work together to solve shared problems like climate change, Obama said.

27、   The White Rabbit’s fans and the glass had disappeared, and so had the pool of tears, the hall and the glass table. Instead, Alice found herself on the edge of a wood.

She ran through grass and flowers till she came to a mushroom that was as big as she was. On top of it sat a large, blue caterpillar(毛毛虫) , smoking a hookah quietly.

As it went, the caterpillar said, “One side will make you taller, and the other side will make you shorter.”

“One side of what?” asked Alice.

“Of the mushroom, of course!” said the caterpillar angrily, and disappeared.
