26、on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and expressed her dream of becoming an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an “F” on it. The teacher told her it was a “fairy tale”. Jean was completely disappointed. As the years went by, Jean was beaten down by t
27、he discouragement. “Girls cant become airline pilots; never have, never will. Youre crazy.” Finally Jean gave up. In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was Dorothy Slaton, a strict teacher with high standards. One day Mrs. Slaton asked this question, “What will you do in the future？
28、” Jean felt a rush of the old enthusiasm(热情), and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream right away. The next thing that Mrs. Slaton said changed the course of Jeans life. “I have a little secret for you. You do have unlimited(无限的) abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you dont
29、 go for your dream, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you try！” The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared suddenly. Jean felt thrilled and told her teacher about her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs. Slaton slapped(拍) the desktop, “Then do it！” So Jean did. It did
30、nt happen overnight. In her 10 years of hard work, even facing all kinds of difficulties, she never gave up her dream.

33、ifficulties B. Dream the Future C. Voice Your Dream D. Go for It B At school，besides cheating on a test，a kid might cheat in other ways.They might steal someone elses idea for a science project，or copy a book report from the Internet and hand it in as if its his or her work. Cheating can happen in a
34、 lot of different ways.When people cheat，its not fair to other people，like the kids who study for the test or who are the true winners of a game. Some kids cheat because theyre busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending time studying. Other kids might feel like they cant pass the
35、 test without cheating. Even though there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating，cheating isnt a good idea.

36、orking it out will make him or her feel better than cheating. Kids who cheat may feel worried about getting caught. Whether they are caught or not, these kids may feel guilty or embarrassed. Even if they feel fine or dont get caught，that doesnt mean its OK. Theres an old saying that cheaters never w
37、in and winners never cheat.This may sound difficult to understand， because sometimes it seems like cheaters do winat least for the moment.
