Dan's class know Dan is in the hall before they see him. He raps (说唱) when he passes in the hall. He raps when he comes into class. And he raps when he sits at his desk. He raps when he can and he raps about almost everything.
Dan joined in a rap competition at school. When Dan rapped, his friends clapped(鼓掌)for him. The kids thought his rapping was great. But could Dan win?
Dan did win! Dan got the top place! All his classmates gave him a big hand. "Now Dan is a star in our school!" Mal said. Ben stood up and shook Dan's hand. "That was cool, Dan. You are a hero!"
Miss Mills said, "Dan did win! His next step is to rap on National Rap Star on TV. We can all give Dan a big hand." The class clapped and cheered for Dan. Miss Mills smiled.
Miss Mills and his classmates were excited, but Dan threw himself onto his chair, silent. Dan could not rap on TV. In class, Dan could not do his physics. He could not think. Dan was not a kid who got nervous a lot, but he did not wish to rap on TV. Could he be lucky again? Anyway, who wanted to lose? Dan thought perhaps he would not attend the national competition. Then he would not have to rap on TV.
Dan's friends sensed something was going on his mind. They planned to give him some help. When Dan got to class the next day, he saw a sign on the wall. It said, "Dan, just rap like in our classroom!" Dan smiled. “Perhaps it's not that hard to rap on TV." he thought.

In class, students are sharing their dream jobs.
Jacob: I'd like to be a mountain-climbing guide for several reasons. Number One, mountain climbing is very exciting. Mountain-climbing guides get to climb tall, dangerous mountains, right? Number Two, I enjoy working outdoors and helping others. Number Three, mountain-climbing guides travel widely and meet many fun people.
Fred: My choice is to be a vet(兽医). Why? I like animals. Animals bring a lot of joy to our lives, but they ask for little in return. I also enjoy helping animals and their owners feel better. Pet owners are happy when their pets are well. Finally, vets get to work with other people who like animals.
Anne: Ha, my dream job? An accountant (会计)! I think it's interesting. I'm good at numbers, you know, and I also like helping people manage their money. Good accountants are well paid, and I want to manage my own money, of course. But the most important of all, accountants mostly work alone, and I like to work alone.
Jessica: I'd like to become an animator(动画片制作者)and make films like Toy Story, Shrek, and Cars. You see, I love drawing and I love working on computers. I'd like to help people relax and enjoy their life. Animators can make a lot of money, too.
