A recent poll(民意调查) shows that fewer and fewer people in the United States believe(相信) in the American dream. The poll asked the question: do you you can start out without money in this country, work hard and become rich? Only 64 percent of Americans said "yes".
Trust(信任) in the American dream disappearing. But around the world, a new dream has been getting strength--the Chinese dream.
"Chinese dream" has become President Xi Jinping's political slogan(政治口号). But, is the Chinese dream? And how has President Xi started that dream come true?

The most positive(乐观的) person I have ever seen is may dad! He is so positive that I do not hearing a single word from him which is related(相关的) to hopelessness!
Unlike most mums and dads, my dad never says things that make me feel . He is always there to give me encouragement and help. I do wrong things, he always tells me what’s right in a positive way. For example, if I am in , he often tells me to open the books he bought me. Then he asks me to read the that can help me with the problems I’m facing. After that, we have a together.
Even though I’m not always a good kid, my dad shouts or gets angry with me. I know that he’s a day—a day when I grow up and understand things in my life.
I can see the reason that he is so positive is that he believes in . And he believes that whatever , it is under control. So we have nothing to worry about. Be positive!

"The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence." That's an old in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place you live. Some people worry young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and, instead, Japanese cartoon books,watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.
Foreign books and soap operas are good, Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can have the meaning for
Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with.
Mid-autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best:
7 friendliness. Not all countries are as as China.
It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn them, but they cannot replace your own culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other
side of the fence.

My earliest memories of writing are only school homework, nothing of any creativity. All that one day, when Mrs Kumar asked us to write “An autobiography(自传) of a pencil”.
For me, it was just another piece of homework, Mrs Kumar reacted(表现) very differently. Maybe she was just being , or maybe she really liked the work. Whatever her , she read it out to the class as an example of “fine writing”. A few years later, I went back to my old school. I was walking through the corridors(走廊) when I passed by Mrs Kumar, who was still teaching her class. She looked up as I passed and I , not wanting to disturb her. Seeing me, she went out and invited me into her class. “This girl is one of the best this school has seen,” she said. “She wrote a wonderful autobiography of a pencil. I hope some of you can learn to write like her. ”Even after all these years, I can still clearly remember that moment. My face shines with whenever I tell someone this experience. I am sure I was not the only student whose school homework Mrs Kumar . It is likely that she made an effort to make each one of us feel . However, I had never had anybody praise(表扬) my writing before that. It encouraged me to do better to prove to her that “Look! Your in me has worked. I am good, because you believe I am. ”Today, I am a successful writer. Thanks to Mrs Kumar, my are not only a tool(工具) to use. They are also a symbol of little beginnings and the power of a teacher’s encouragement.

A wise man was visiting a village with his students. He found a group of family members ________ in anger at each other. He turned to his students and asked: “Why do people shout in anger at each other?”
His students thought for a while, and one of them said: “Because when we lose our calm, we shout.”
“But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can just as well tell him ________ you have to say in a soft manner,” said the wise man.
Students gave some other answers but ________ were any good.
“When two people are angry at each other, their hearts become distanced（疏远的）,” the wise man ______, “ To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The _______ they are, the louder they will have to shout to hear each other and cover that great distance.”
The wise man then gave an _______: “What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly because their hearts are very _______. When they love each other even more, what happens? They don’t need to talk. They _______ look at each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.”
He looked at his students and said: “________ when you argue, do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance you from others. Or there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the _______ to return.”
