24、To do great things, you must dream great dreams. But dreaming alone isn’t enough. You must believe in your dreams and take actions.

Do you want to be a dreamer? Dreamers build bridges between the known and the unknown. Before you turn your dreams into reality (现实), someone may think you’re a fool. Pay no attention to those who would kill your dream. And, 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 would bet on his black dog, and the black dog would win. The next week he would bet on the white dog, and the white dog would win. Why? One week he fed the dog he wanted to win with a good diet (日常饮食), and just gave the other dog enough to live. The dog that was well fed was strong 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 and knowledge you need so that you can succeed in your dreams.

Have you been waiting for right time to reach your dreams? Have you been waiting for the right chance to reach your dreams? Now is the right time. Chances will appear when you take actions. So what are you really for?

25、The Chinese government has ended its one-child policy and let families have more children.

The government announced the plan on Thursday after high level political meetings in Beijing. 【1】 The Chinese government ended the one-child policy in order to stop a falling birth rate (出生率) and increase the country’s labor force (劳动力).

Jiang Quanbao, a teacher and population expert, explained what Chinese families thought of the new policy. “Many young couples in the cities don’t want to have more children because of the high cost of living,” he said. “People in the countryside are more interested. 【4】”

26、Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

【1】The best title of the passage is ________.

A．Money Makes You Happy
