As students, you may have many dreams. They can be very big like becoming Superman, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.
If you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream come true?
Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge.
“You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible (不可能) for you to become a star. These ideas stop you from getting your dream,” the book says.
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first important thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.
Don’t let it leave your heart (心). Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step (一步一步地) and your dream will come true faster. A big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.
Never give up (放弃) your dream. There will be difficulties (困难) on the road. But the biggest problem comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of (代替) watching TV will bring you better exam points. Saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. When you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. Then you will be able to learn more skills and find new interests.Follow Your Heart is _______.

Tess was a little girl. Her brother was very sick. But her family didn't have money to send him to the hospital. "Only a miracle(奇迹)can save him now,"said her dad.
Tess got out all the money she had saved. Then she walked a long way to the pharmacy(药店)."What do you want?"the pharmacist asked.
"Well, my brother is sick," Tess answered. "My daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much is a miracle?"
"We don't sell miracles here. I'm sorry but I can't help you,"the pharmacist said.
"I have the money to pay. Just tell me how much it costs."
A well﹣dressed man was standing nearby. He asked the little girl:"What kind of a miracle does your brother need?"
"He needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it."Tess replied with tears in her eyes.
"How much do you have?" asked the man.
"One dollar and 11cents," Tess answered.
"Well,"smiled the man."A dollar and 11cents﹣that's just the price of a miracle for your little brother."
He took her money and said:"Take me to your home. I want to see your brother. Maybe I have the kind of miracle you need."
That man was a famous doctor. He gave the boy the operation for free. Before long, the boy was home again and doing well.

Chinatown is the name given to an area in the middle of London. It is a large Chinese community with a lot of Chinese restaurants, supermarkets and shops.
In the 1950s, it was a poor area and everything was very cheap. At the same time, the world rice market changed and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs. They began arriving in London to look for work. They found jobs in the restaurants in this area.
These restaurant workers often worked 17hours a day and had no time to learn English. As more Chinese arrived, more shops and businesses grew up. Wives came and joined their husbands and children came and joined their fathers. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.
In the 1970s and 1980s, British﹣born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought economic(经济的)success to the area. Many families moved out of Chinatown, and there was more space for businesses. Chinatown soon became a popular place for tourists.
Now everyone knows about London's Chinatown. During the Chinese New Year, the streets are seen with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets.
