It was not easy to learn different kinds of musical instruments well at the same time.I still remembered when I took my piano lessons,my mother said worriedly to my father, "Why hasn't he made any progress with so much practice?'' I tried to play the piano better.However,my parents never got a strong feeling of satisfaction with my piano performance.

From then on,I didn't play any musical instrument until my old friend Larry invited me to play the violin with him when I was 60.It made me enjoy the joy of playing music again.One day,Larry asked me to take part in a violin performance with him.At first,thinking of my past,I wanted to refuse.1 expected to hear his words that I would become more skilled with practice on stage(舞台),But he said, "OK,only play if you want to," I was shocked by the unexpected answer.

In fact,nobody made me do it,so I had to make a choice by myself.I was willing to catch the chance this time.After a long and careful preparation,I played the violin with Larry.Though I didn't lose all my nervousness,it was enough for me to overcome my fear.Finally,I offered a full performance in front of the audience(观众).

However,happy times always didn't last long,my friend Larry passed away .It was a hard hit,but his influence stayed.It helped me not only in music,but on all sides of my life.Whenever I paid attention to what I wanted to do,joy usually took the place of fear.

Each of us has dreams and goals for our future.What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.

    But why do you have dreams and goals,you still end up with nothing?What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action.When you learn your lessons in school,you must work hard and not give up.You will often find some of your lessons very hard.Try and keep trying,and you'll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with.If we have a hard lesson today,let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.

    This is the famous formula(公式) for success:

    Dream > Believe > Achieve

    Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe).And then they do nothing.They just imagine their dreams can come true.When they get tired waiting and lose a lot,they get bored.They say angrily how terrible their life is.

    I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life,you have to add one thing to your success formula:

    Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve

    For me,act is the most important thing for success and that's to Take Persistent Action (Act).If you say, "I can't do it" and give up,you can never do anything valuable.However, "I'll try" creates wonders.Let's remember that there will be obstacles in our life.We must face them bravely and solve them.Success is not something that falls down from the sky.Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.

    Please remember:Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.

If you feel sad or upset,remember not to watch a happy movie.A sad movie may be more suitable for you.

Some scientists at Ohio State University,the U.S.,have found that sad movies can make people happier.They published their study in a magazine called Communication Research.

    Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement.The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated.They died during World War II at the end of the movie.The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before,after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings,including sadness.

    According to the result of the survey,scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie.Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships.Compared to those of the unlucky lovers in the movie,their lives were full of hope.

    "I want to live my life to the fullest,and this movie has made me think a lot," one student wrote.

    Silvia Knobloch﹣Westerwick,the leader of the study,explained that bad moods (情绪) would make people more thoughtful. "Good moods are generally a sign that everything is fine.You don't have to worry,and you don't have to think about problems in your life," she said. "But bad emotions,like sadness,make you feel terrible about your situation.Therefore,seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad,but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more."

(1)The scientists asked the college students to watch Atonement   .

A.to help them make more friends

B.to make them feel better about themselves

C.to find out how they felt after watching it

Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰)from his son.He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.

After several months,the king came to see how the training was going.He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky,while the other was staying on the branch(树枝)of a tree quietly,just keeping still.

The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly.But none of them succeeded.One day,while the king was taking a walk in the forest,an idea came to his mind.He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.

The next morning,the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely."It is unbelievable!"shouted the king."How could you make it happen?"

The farmer replied,"It's very easy.I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested."

Dear daughters,

      Most parents tell their children,"You can be anything you want when you grow up."I feel the same and I say this often.But I also want you to understand that the dream itself comes from hard work,some good luck and good timing.

    Girls,here are some words of wisdom(智慧) as you make your way in the world,from your mama.

1.Be open﹣minded to changing your path(even several times)along the way.

    In high school,I wanted to be an official.I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington,DC.There,I discovered that I'm creative,a strong leader and great at marketing.As result,I moved on to be the head of a national organization.Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to starting a business.Now I run a successful company that I started up all by myself.

    Work out what you are good at and what you are interested in.Keep an open mind and change what you are doing based on what you are learning about yourself.

2.Failure is critical to your success

    I won't tell you to feel good about failure.Failure can be heartbreaking.But I will tell you that every failure I've had along the way has absolutely made me better.

    Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing.I finally passed,and I've never failed an exam again.I learned from that experience to ask for help.Now,I ask for help in business all the time.

        I'm proud to be a role model to you as a mom and a company owner,I hope I can help you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have everything on your list.It will be very glad to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.

    Love,

    Your Mom

(1)According to the letter, What should the daughters think about if they want to change what they are doing ?
