Hopes， ambitions（抱负）， dreams． How many of yours will you achieve？ When you look back at your life in the future， will you have good memories of all the things that you did？ Or will you regret all the things that you didn't do？
Of course， there's no easy road to success， but one thing is certain： success won't come if you don't do anything． So how do you do it？ This four﹣step model will help you to make your dreams come true．
Step 1：
What would you like to do？ Write down all your ambitions， They may be very general， such as I would like to be fitter． I want to be famous． or It would be nice to have more friends． Or they may be more specific，like I've always wanted to play a musical instrument．
Step 2：
Now you need to do two things：
1．Choose one or two ambitions． If you try to do everything， you won't do anything．
2．Set a time limit（限定）． This is very important， because you will have a goal and you will also know when you have reached it．
So，for example，I would like to be fitter in Step 1 now becomes I will be fit enough to join a half﹣marathon race by the end of August．
Step 3：
Now that you' ve made your choice， what are you actually going to do to achieve your goal？ So， in our example， I will be fit enough to join a half﹣marathon race by the end of August， becomes I'm going to join a running club． or I 'm going to go jogging three times a week．
Step 4：
This is when you change your intentions（意图） into specific actions， Prepare to do something at a specific time． If you don't do this， your dreams and plans will just stay as dreams and plans． So now I'm going to join a running club，becomes I'm meeting the president of the Cheetahs Running Club on Monday evening at 5：30．
Don't let your ambitions die． Follow this four step plan and make your dream come true．
A． Change I would like to…to I will… B． Change I did…to I do… C． How to be successful D． Change I'm going to…to I'm doing…on…at… E． Think about your ambitions F． Change I will…to I'm going to… |

“Fish stories” are stories of the greatest fish that a fisherman has almost caught, but for some reason, the fish always get away. Usually, these stories do not have much truth to them. One of the biggest fish stories in history was about a whale.
In 1891, a ship hunting for whales in the South Atlantic Ocean found a very large whale. While the hunters were trying to kill the whale, it sank two small boats. One man drowned, and another man, James Bartley, was lost in the ocean. However, after the hunters finally killed the whale, they cut open the whale’s stomach and found Mr Bartley inside. He was not dead!
Several weeks later, Mr Bartley seemed to have gotten over his terrible experience. The only thing he could remember was that while he was inside the whale, it was very hot. The liquid (液体) from the whale’s stomach had turned all of his skin snow white. Mr Bartley had to live with the effect from the whale for the rest of his life.
Today, many people have heard about the strange experience of Mr Bartley and do not buy it. Not one real fact has been found to prove that the events ever took place described by the sailors. No scientist or newspaper reporter was ever able to talk to Mr Bartley, and all of the stories told in magazines about Mr Bartley’s experience were explained by other sailors on the boat. Mr Bartley was probably not even a real person at all.
In 1928, after the captain (船长) of the whaling ship had died, one man asked the captain’s wife about Mr Bartley’s story. The wife said that no man who had sailed on her husband’s ship was ever swallowed by a whale.
However, this has not stopped James Bartley’s story from being repeated, and many people today still believe that it is true.What made Mr Bartley’s skin white?
| A．The ocean water. |
| B．The whale’s teeth. |

The captain’s wife said that .
