Question

    As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Or they can be small, you may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class. Once 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 Andrews tells us that making our dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge (挑战).

“You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from realizing (实现) your dream,” the book says.

In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of (代替) watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice-cream means you can buy a new book. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

每个人都有自己的梦想，并且想要实现它，实现梦想的过程中肯定有很多的困难，《跟随你的心》的作者Andrews对此有一些好的建议。

1.推理判断题。根据短文第二段“Follow Your heart by Australian writer Andrews tells us…”，由澳大利亚的作家Andrews写的书《跟随你的心》……，以及“…the book says.”可知这是一本书的名字。故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据短文第四段“In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.”可知，要想实现梦想，首先要记住自己的梦想是什么。故选A。

3.词义猜测题。Ways方法，方式；Ideas想法，主意；Decisions决定；Interests兴趣。根据语境“You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from realizing (实现) your dream,”可知，thoughts指的就是前面一句话中提到的两种错误的想法，故选B。

4.推理判断题。根据这一段的内容可知，开头的两句话“There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself.”是这一段的中心句，意为“在实现梦想的道路上总是有困难，但是最大的困难来源于你自己”。D选项的表述符合文意，故选D。
