When your dream is to become a footballer and play for Barcelona， nothing should get in your way ﹣ even if you have no feet．
An 11﹣year﹣old schoolboy Gabriel Muniz， who was born without feet， will fly from his home in Brazil to take part in the Spanish club's summer training camp． Although he is disabled， Muniz is one of the top players at the school and captain of his gym class． He can run， dribble （运球）， pass and strike the ball as well as any of his able﹣bodied teammates． He spends all his spare time on the football pitch．
His best friend Lucas Santos spoke about his abilities on a video for The Sun， "He is skillful， he goes after it， he is fearless and he knows how to organize plays． He also makes good passes．" Mum Sandra was thrilled that her son would achieve his dreams． She said， "He started walking before he was one． We would go after him， expecting him to keep falling， but he never fell．" Muniz's gym teacher added， "He is challenging the social norms （标准）． When he arrived there， no one believed in him．" But he showed to everyone that he could play as well as any other boy． So he was invited to go to Spain to show his talent．
The Spanish La Liga soccer club has offered to fly Muniz to Spain in September， where he'll be able to show off his "fancy footwork" and meet his idol， Barça soccer player Lionel Messi．
Muniz wears a prosthetic （假体的） ankle and foot to help him get around in rainy weather． He knows that his disability means he'll never be able to play for a professional football team and so Muniz is hoping that football will one day become a Paralympic （残奥会的） sport．

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge(向…挑战)yourself. So you can not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转)door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will_________.
