Did you dream to get good grades and devote yourself to the tasks for a few days, however, your dream fell to zero as a TV play attracted you some day?Do we need to have a dream? The founder of Wal -Mart, Sam Walton, says high expectation is the key to everything. The important thing in life is to have a great aim and the determination to achieve it, J. W. Goethe, the famous German poet and dramatist says. Successful people suggest that those who believe in the beauty of their dreams tend to have more self-motivation (自我激励)to keep on trying and enjoying the beauty of life.Thomas Edison dreamed to light the world by the power of electricity. He tried over 2,000 different materials before he was able to create a market light bulb. Its hard for many of us to imagine spending so much time and energy in exploring a possibility, which is most likely to come to a dead end but for Edison, who sticked to his dream, it was just an enjoyable process. As Edison says, the most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.Helena, a 17-year-old girl, dreamed to build the magnificent sculpture (雕塑) in the world. She devoted herself to observing faces around her and making sculptures. She was woken up by her dream every morning rather than her alarm clock. She said she became passionate (有热情的) out of her dream, which kept her going through any difficulties and found plea sure in it.You can benefit a lot from your dream, but do you know the behavior that is necessary to fulfill your dream? You have a dream and you truthfully want good grades. However, you cant help playing on the smart phone and let go your homework. Or you rush through it so that you can get back to the smart phone. This is the case when the present-desire to play on your smart phone beats the will to reach the future goal, which is called immediate gratification. If you always behave like this, you may lose the chance to meet with your dream.Your dream can inspire you. It can give you motivation to work hard. It helps you to focus on a path so that you are moving forward. Meanwhile, you need to set a long-term goal and work for it. The key to dream is concentrating on small wins, which gradually lead to genuine confidence. You will enjoy the whole process of realizing your dream as well as involving yourself into the passion of the coming life.（1）The writer talks about Helena and Edison to _. A . suggest good ways of realizing your dreamB . show effects of dream on self-motivationC . stress the great differences between themD . share the experiences of their success（2）The expression immediate gratification in Paragraph 5 probably means . A . enjoying pleasures here and nowB . following dreams without delayC . becoming creative in a flashD . avoiding failure all the time（3）According to the passage, the writer may agree that . A . its necessary for you to deal with difficulties quicklyB . its better for you to work hard than to have passionC . setting big goals will make differences for your lifeD . having your dream can help you take things light（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A . Keep Calm and Dream OnB . Dream Bigger, Think DeeperC . Dream a Dream and Step by StepD . Follow Your Heart, Live Your Dream31. （5分）阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Dust storms (沙尘暴) appear when strong wind blows sand and dirt from a dry surface.
