5 ways to kill your dreamsWhy you should listen？BelPesce has worked at big technology companies —in atinternship at Microsoft, she led the team for Microsoft Touchlessand, as an intern at Google, she worked to improve the Google Translate system. She has alsoworked in finance, at Deutsche Bank, and helped launch several startups — most notably, thevideo platform Ooyala and Lemon Wallet, an app that replicates the contents of your wallet onyour phone. But for her latest venture, Pesce is looking to inspire. She has opened a school,FazINOVA, which is dedicated to helping students — both in live courses in Sao Paulo, Brazil, andonline —persevere toward their dreams. The school has grown tremendously since itsestablishment in 2013.Pesce, a TED Fellow, is also the author of three books: The Brazilian Girl from Silicon Valley,Superheroes: WANTED and The Girl from Silicon Valley 2. She has been named one of the "100most influential people of Brazil" by Época Magazine.I dedicated the past two years to understanding how people achieve their dreams. When we thinkabout the dreams we have, and the dent we want to leave in the universe, it is striking to see howbig of an overlap there is between the dreams that we have and projects that never happen. (Laughter) So I'm here to talk to you today about five ways how not to follow your dreams.One: Believe in overnight success. You know the story, right? The tech guy built a mobile app andsold it very fast for a lot of money. You know, the story may seem real, but I bet it's incomplete. Ifyou go investigate further, the guy has done 30 apps before and he has done a master's on thetopic, a Ph.D. He has been working on the topic for 20 years.This is really interesting, I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success. Icome from a humble family, and two weeks before the deadline to apply to MIT, I started theapplication process. And, voila! I got in. People may think it's an overnight success, but that onlyworked because for the 17 years prior to that, I took life and education seriously. Your overnightsuccess story is always a result of everything you've done in your life through that moment.Two: Believe someone else has the answers for you. Constantly, people want to help out, right?All sorts of people: your family, your friends, your business partners, they all have opinions onwhich path you should take: "And let me tell you, go through this pipe." But whenever you goinside, there are other ways you have to pick as well. And you need to make those decisionsyourself. No one else has the perfect answers for your life. And you need to keep picking thosedecisions, right? The pipes are infinite and you're going to bump your head, and it's a part of theprocess.Three, and it's very subtle but very important: Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed. Sowhen your life is going great, you have put together a great team, and you havegrowingrevenue, and everything is set -- time to settle. When I launched my first book, I worked really,really hard to distribute it everywhere in Brazil. With that, over three million people downloaded it,over 50,000 people bought physical copies. When I wrote a sequel, some impact was guaranteed.Even if I did little, sales would be okay. But okay is never okay. When you're growing towards apeak, you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak. Maybe if I did little, acouple hundred thousand people would read it, and that's great already. But if I work harder thanever, I can bring this number up to millions. That's why I decided, with my new book, to go toevery single state of Brazil. And I can already see a higher peak. There's no time to settle down.Fourth tip, and that's really important: Believe the fault is someone else's. I constantly see peoplesaying, "Yes, I had this great idea, but no investor had the vision to invest." "Oh, I created thisgreat product, but the market is so bad, the sales didn't go well." Or, "I can't find good talent; myteam is so below expectations." If you have dreams, it's your responsibility to make them happen.Yes, it may be hard to find talent. Yes, the market may be bad. But if no one invested in your idea,if no one bought your product, for sure, there is something there that is your fault. (Laughter)Definitely. You need to get your dreams and make them happen. And no one achieved their goalsalone. But if you didn't make them happen, it's your fault and no one else's. Be responsible foryour dreams.And one last tip, and this one is really important as well: Believe that the only things that matterare the dreams themselves. Once I saw an ad, and it was a lot of friends, they were going up amountain, it was a very high mountain, and it was a lot of work. You could see that they weresweating and this was tough. And they were going up, and they finally made it to the peak. Ofcourse, they decided to celebrate, right? I'm going to celebrate, so, Yes! We made it, we're at thetop!" Two seconds later, one looks at the other and says, "Okay, let's go down." (Laughter) Life is never about the goals themselves. Life is about the journey. Yes, you should enjoy thegoals themselves, but people think that you have dreams, and whenever you get to reaching oneof those dreams, it's a magical place where happiness will be all around. But achieving a dream is amomentary sensation, and your life is not. The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is tofully enjoy every step of your journey. That's the best way.And your journey is simple -- it's made of steps. Some steps will be right on. Sometimes you willtrip. If it's right on, celebrate, because some people wait a lot to celebrate. And if you tripped, turnthat into something to learn. If every step becomes something to learn or something to celebrate,you will for sure enjoy the journey.So, five tips: Believe in overnight success, believe someone else has the answers for you, believethat when growth is guaranteed, you should settle down, believe the fault is someone else's, andbelieve that only the goals themselves matter. Believe me, if you do that, you will destroy yourdreams. (Laughter)Thank you.。

June 8Dear David，______________________Yours，Li Hua[参考答案]June 8Dear David，I'm glad that you've noticed our efforts directed towards environmental protection. Thank you for your concern.As too much use of plastic bags has caused serious white pollution, our government encourages us to use environment－friendly shopping bags. These bags are made of a variety of materials that can be easily treated when they become rubbish. Besides, they can be reused. More and more people in China have realized the advantages of such bags and started using them.I believe that the wide use of these shopping bags can greatly improve our environment. This is one of the many steps we are taking to make our country an even cleaner place.Yours，Li HuaⅠ.重点单词1．______(n.) 动作；情节；作用；举动2．______(n. & vi.) 评论；注释；意见3．______(adj.) 初等教育的；最早的；首要的4．______(vt.) 接受；认可(vi.) 同意；承认5．______(vt. & vi.) 欠(债等)；感激；把……归功于6．______(n.) 残忍；残酷7．______(vt. & vi.) 加快；飞跑(n.) 速度8．______(n.) 奖；奖品9．______(n.) 场面；情景；布景[答案]1．action ment 3.primary 4.accept 5.owe 6．cruelty 7.speed 8.award 9.sceneⅡ.词汇拓展1．determine→______(n.)决心；坚定2．outer→______(同义词)→______(反义词)里面的3．director→______(v.)→______(adv.)直接地4．choice→______(同义词)→______(v.)选择5．career→______(同义词)职业6．hero→______(pl.)→______(n.)女英雄，女主角[答案]1．determination 2.outward; inner/inward 3．direct；direct/directly 4.selection; choose 5．occupation/profession 6.heroes; heroine Ⅲ.重点短语1．think ______ of 对……高度评价2．______ the air 正在播出的3．bring sb. ______ 送回某人4．run ______ 追赶5．lock sb. ______ 将某人锁于某处不得进出，将某人监禁起来6．stay ______ 不在家；外出7．______ all 总共；总之8．owe sth. ______ 把……归功于某人9．go ______ 走错路，误入歧途；不对头；出毛病10．take ______ 成功；成名；脱掉(衣服)；(飞机)起飞[答案]1．highly 2.on 3.back 4.after 5.up 6.away 7．in 8.to sb. 9.wrong 10.offⅣ.重点句型1．not only...but also...不但……而且……2．keep＋宾语＋adj./adv./doing/done/介词短语让……处于……(状态)Ⅴ.重点语法The Attributive Clause 2—when/where/why－clauses(定语从句2——when, where, why引导的定语从句Ⅰ.词汇聚焦1．speed v.
