[00:-6.00]If it worth doing at all,it's worth doing it right.-Irish Proverb [00:-7.00]Section 1 New words and ideas [00:-8.00]The Dream keeper Opening doors to literature [00:-9.00]Somewhere inside your heart your dream lies waiting. [00:10.00]If you are not sure how to find your dream,ask the Dream Keeper. [00:11.00]Her heart is the sun.Her eyes are the stars. [00:12.00]Her voice is the wind.And she will whisper your dream into your ear. [00:13.00]Once,long ago,there was a girl who could talk to the birds. [00:14.00]When she was little,she was happy.She walked in the forest [00:15.00]and played by the stream and never thought about her purpose in life. [00:16.00]But as she grew older,she asked,"Why am I here?Where am I going?Who am I?" [00:17.00]But no one could answer these questions. [00:18.00]So one day she walked deep into the forest. [00:19.00]"Maybe the birds will know,"she though. [00:20.00]"They are my friends and I will talk to them. [00:21.00]Look at how they live.There is no hesitation in their flight. [00:22.00]There is no hesitation in their song.Surely they know their purpose. [00:23.00]Maybe they know mine,too."She walked until she saw a beautiful eagle. [00:24.00]"Eagle,"she asked,"What is your purpose?" [00:25.00]"To fly above the earth,"the eagle replied. [00:26.00]"From there,I can see all things.Here is my feather.Fly with me." [00:27.00]Next she saw a hawk."Hawk,"she asked,"what is your purpose?" [00:28.00]"To be a messenger,"the hawk replied."I bring news of things to come. [00:29.00]Here is my feather.Listen for my call."Then a tiny hummingbird flew by. [00:30.00]"Hummingbird,"she asked,"what is your purpose?" [00:31.00]"To love the flowers,"the hummingbird replied. [00:32.00]"My wings are their music.Here is my feather.Hold it close to your heart." [00:33.00]Then she saw a graceful swan. [00:34.00]"Swan,"she asked,"what is your purpose?" [00:35.00]"To live in beauty,"the sawn replied. [00:36.00]"Though the water is muddy,I see only my refection.Here is my feather. [00:37.00]Live in peace."The girl sat down next to a river. [00:38.00]The sunlight warmed the water and it was bearuiful,but she was sad. [00:39.00]"I know the purpose of all the birds,"she said."but what is my purpose?" [00:40.00]Then a dragonfly with wings like paper flew by. [00:41.00]The dragonfly saw the girl was sad and wanted to help her. [00:42.00]"And you,dragonfly,"the girl finally asked, [00:43.00]"What is your purpose?" [00:44.00]"To help people find their dreams,"the dragonfly replied. [00:45.00]"Help me,then,"the girl said."I wish to know my dream." [00:46.00]"You must visit the Dream Keeper,"the dragonfly said. [00:47.00]"She will tell you.She lives nearby." [00:48.00]The girl looked around.There was no path anywhere. [00:49.00]There was no one calling her name. [00:50.00]The only noise was the sound of the river going over the rocks. [00:51.00]"Where is her house?"the girl asked. [00:52.00]"The wind will tell you,"the dragonfly replied. [00:53.00]"Listen to the wond."Then the dragonfly flew away. [00:54.00]The girl stood up.She listened for the wind,but the air was still. [00:55.00]Then a soft breeze blew in the trees and she followed the breeze into the forest. [00:56.00]Finally the breeze stopped and the forest was still. [00:57.00]"Dream keeper?"the girl asked softly. [00:58.00]But there was only silence.The the grass quivered and the leaves rustled [00:59.00]and a voice as beautiful as spring whispered,"Ask your question." [-1:00.00]"I know the purpose of all the birds,"the girl said,"but what is my purpose?" [-1:-1.00]"To find your dream and follow it,"the Dream Keeper replied." [-1:-2.00]"Then tell me my dream,"the girl said."You are the Dream Keeper." [-1:-3.00]"Come close and I will whisper your dream into your ear. [-1:-4.00]But you must be still.Listen.Listen.Hush." [-1:-5.00]The girl felt the breeze blow gently,gently, [-1:-6.00]oh,so gently into her waiting,waiting ear, [-1:-7.00]and with a smile she recognized now and forever the voice of the Dream Keeper. [-1:-8.00]Then from within her own heart she heard the music of the hummingbird[-1:-9.00]and she saw the beauty of the swan in the water, [-1:10.00]and she heard the sharp call of the hawk, [-1:11.00]and she flew with the eagle high above the earth, [-1:12.00]and she knew her dream and she followed it and she was happy. [-1:13.00]Powm [-1:14.00]Hold fast to dreams For it dreams die [-1:15.00]Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly.

[-1:27.00]Where shoud I begin? [-1:28.00]The minute our train enters Shenzhen,I feel different. [-1:29.00]I can feel my excitement rising,my blood rushing, [-1:30.00]my bones aching with a familiar old pain. [-1:31.00]And I think,my mother was right.I am becoming Chinese. [-1:32.00]"Cannot be helped,"my mother said when I was fifteen [-1:33.00]and had strongly denied what I had any Chinese whatsoever below my skin. [-1:34.00]I was a grade 10 at Galileo High School in San Francisco, [-1:35.00]and all my Caucasian friends agreed:I was about as Chinese as they were. [-1:36.00]But my mother had studied at a famous nursing school in Shanghai, [-1:37.00]and she said she knew all about genetics.So ther was no doubt in her mind, [-1:38.00]whether I agreed or not:Once you ar born Chinese, [-1:39.00]you cannot help but feel and think Chinese. [-1:40.00]"Someday you will see,"said my mother. [-1:41.00]"It's in your blood,waiting to be let out." [-1:42.00]But today I realize I've never really known what it means to be Chinese. [-1:43.00]I am thirty-six years old. [-1:44.00]My mother is dead and I am on a train,carrying with me her dreams of coming home. [-1:45.00]"Wake up,we're here,"said my father. [-1:46.00]And I awake with my heart pounding in my throat. [-1:47.00]I look out the window and we're already on the runway. [-1:48.00]It's gray outside.And now I'm walking down the steps of the plane, [-1:49.00]onto the tarmac and toward the building. [-1:50.00]If only,I think,if only my mother had lived long enough [-1:51.00]to be the one walking toward them. [-1:52.00]I am so nervous that I cannot even feel my feet. [-1:53.00]I am just moving somehow. [-1:54.00]Somebody shouts,"She's arrived!"And then I see her. [-1:55.00]Her short hair.Her small body.And that same look on her face. [-1:56.00]She has the back of her hand pressed hard against her mouth. [-1:57.00]She is crying as though she had gone through a terrible ordeal [-1:58.00]and were happy it is over. [-1:59.00]And I know it's not my mother,yet it is the same look she had [-2:00.00]when I was five and had disappeared all afternoon, [-2:-1.00]for such a long time,that she was convinced I was dead. [-2:-2.00]And when I miraculously appeared, [-2:-3.00]sleepy-eyed,crawling from underneath my bed, [-2:-4.00]she wept and laughed,biting the back of her hand to make sure it was true. [-2:-5.00]And now I see her again,two of her,waving,and in one hand there is a photo, [-2:-6.00]the Polaroid I sent them.As soon as I get beyond the gate, [-2:-7.00]we run embracing,all hesitations and expectations forgotten. [-2:-8.00]"Mama,Mama,"we all murmur,as if she were among us. [-2:-9.00]My sisters look at me,proudly. [-2:10.00]"Meimei jandale,"says one sister proudly to the other. [-2:11.00]"Little sister has grown up."I look at their faces again [-2:12.00]and I see no trace of my mother in them. [-2:13.00]Yet they still look familiar.And now I also see what part of me is Chinese. [-2:14.00]It is so obvious.It is my family.It is in our blood. [-2:15.00]After all these years,it can finally be let go. [-2:16.00]My sisters and I stand,arms around each other, [-2:17.00]laughing and wiping the tears from each other's eyes. [-2:18.00]The flash of the Polaroid goes off and my father hands me the snapshot. [-2:19.00]My sisters and I watch quietly together,eager to see what develops. [-2:20.00]The gray-green surface changes to the bright colours of our three images, [-2:21.00]sharpening and deepening all at once. [-2:22.00]And although we don't speak,I know we all see it: [-2:23.00]Together we look like our mother. [-2:24.00]Her same eyes,her same mouth,open in surprise to see,at last, [-2:25.00]her long-cherished wish. [-2:26.00]Reading [-2:27.00]Reading is important.As a student,one should learn to read respond[-2:28.00]to a wide range of writing to build and understanding of written materials, [-2:29.00]of himself/herself,and of others. [-2:30.00]Reading is a complex and interactive process. [-2:31.00]It is a primary means of acquiring and using information. [-2:32.00]Society regards reading as extremely important to daily living. [-2:33.00]Because reading is fundamental to the mastery of other school subjects, [-2:34.00]students at all levels must learn to understand what they read. [-2:35.00]They must know and use various strategies [-2:36.00]-ways of unlocking the meaning of words and larger blocks of text [-2:37.00]-to become successful readers. [-2:38.00]Students should be challenged to read literature and other materials [-2:39.00]that reflect and stimulate their interests and intellectual abilities. [-2:40.00]They should read a wide variety of materials, [-2:41.00]including fiction,nonfiction,poetry,drama, [-2:42.00]and other written works that show the richness and diversity of life. [-2:43.00]Reading is more than rapidly running one's eyes over the words printed on a page. [-2:44.00]It is more than practicing vocabulary skills. [-2:45.00]To really read a passage,one must understand how all the words together [-2:46.00]say what the writer intends. [-2:47.00]If a reader understands what he or she has read, [-2:48.00]the reader will be able to put the writer's ideas [-2:49.00]and information into his or her own words. [-2:50.00]All reading is done for a purpse. [-2:51.00]When you read a humourous story because you enjoy it, [-2:52.00]your purpose is entertainment.Sometimes,you read to finish a task. [-2:53.00]For example,your teacher may say something like, [-2:54.00]"I want you to read Chapter Three and then..." [-2:55.00]The words that follow for "and then"set the purpose for that reading task. [-2:56.00]Reading,whether for a school assignment or for one's own enjoyment, [-2:57.00]is one of the best wasy to discover and understand oneself and the world. |
