by fortune there are thousands more whose wishes are never rewarded. When I left a 20-year job in the U. S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no hopes at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.

After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering：What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow（阴影）land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

A. encourage young people to seek good jobs

Do you want to be at the top of your class? Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student?

36 I cannot stress how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher teaching you. Take part in class discussions if you have something worthwhile to add. Pay attention during class, especially during lectures.

Taking notes is important. You don’t need to write down every word your teacher says but write down what he/ she writes on the board, or any special fact you think you might need for a test. 37 This way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.

Don’t skip school. You will missing out on stuff. 38 However, you will have more work and you have missed lectures and in-class movies. Also, try not to be late for class. It’s most likely that your teachers won’t appreciate it and you will get yourself behind.

39 If you have an “I don’t care about school or this class” attitude, then teachers will be less willing to help you with problem or offer you extra credit. The same goes for lazy attitude. Have a respectful attitude to the teacher and other students. Try not to laugh when other students make a mistake.

Always ask questions. 40 If you don’t understand, ask someone. Read your textbook and notes, and then if that fails, seek help. Ask a teacher, friend, classmate, parent, ect. Get

Dear Zhang Ming，

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had a hard time in America. But, I think if you do what I say, things will work out better.

First, you should try your best to improve your English, and talk with more of the people around you. Second, it would be a good idea to volunteer to help people, which will make a good impression on others. Finally, why not participate in more activities? Taking part in activities will get you more chances to meet people and make friends with them.

I hope these ideas will be useful. I hope you have a great time in America. Yours, Li Hua

Li Hua
