It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didnt finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldnt get much education. But Louis didnt give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasnt I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out(溢出) and my pen started to dance. I pleted the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up? I didnt expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it.

But today, things stand differently. According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK pany, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers. This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media.

In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a puter camera can bee a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.” However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame(名声) and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that e true and the dreams that remain dreams forever. Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that dont necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. Its an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And thats enough for him.9. What is the passage mainly about? A.

Young Britons can not find jobs without the Internet. 10. Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers? A. Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet. B.

What can we infer from the fifth paragraph? A. Only a few vloggers can be successful. B. A vlogger can not earn fame and fortune. C. People often see the bright side of being a vlogger. D. Dreams will always remain to be dreams. 12. What do young people like David do on the Internet? A. Learn from others. B. Bee an online hit. C. Hold running races. D. Mix jobs with hobbies.

It can last up to five years. The bottom is pressed(压缩的) rubber like tire rubber. The top is just high-quality leather.” The shoe es in two sizes: small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14.
