Then one day I watched an English movie 45 Toy Story. I fell in love with it at once. So I began to

watch other English movies, 46 . I realized I could get the meaning by 47 for just the key words. I

discovered that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned some useful

sentences like “It's a piece of cake”or “It serves you right”.I didn't understand them at first. But because I wanted to

not mean that you will succeed every time. However, if it goes long, you will 50 all your goals and be

successful. 51 the other hand, if you have strong bad habits, you are sure to fail at last.

Why are habits so important? 52 you repeat the same action and the same behavior every day. A single

good action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have an important effect on

your life.

How can you 53 good habits? There is nothing easier than developing good habits. You want to make

a habit, and then you must do the action every day. If you want to develop the habit of eating 54 food, eat

Education is very close in my heart. My father grew up in a very small village in China. In those days, not

many villagers could read. So my father opened a night school to teach them how to read. With his help, many

people learned to write their own names; with his help, many people learned to read newspapers for the first time;

with his help, many women were able to teach their children how to read. As his daughter, I know what education

means to the people, especially those without it. After generations(几代人) of hard work, China has come a long

way in education. I am a beneficiary(受益人) of that progress. Otherwise I would never become a singer and a

professor of music.

Education is about women and the girls. It is important for girls to go to school because they will become their

children's first teacher someday. In China, Spring Bud Education Program(春蕾计划) has helped over 3 million

girls go back to school. Many of them have finished university education and they are doing well at work.

Education is about equality. In poor countries and regions (地区) the number of school dropouts(辍学) is

astonishing. We call for more educational resources to these places.

Education is about the young people. Young people are the future. Education is important because it not only

gives young people knowledge and skills but also helps them become responsible citizens.

Many years ago my father made a small difference in his village. Together we can make a big difference in the

world. I was once asked about my Chinese dream. I said I hope all children especially girls can have chances to get

good education. This is my Chinese dream. I believe one day education first will no longer be a dream, it will be

a reality enjoyed by every young woman on this planet.

66. What did the writer's father do in those days?

A. He opened a bookstore. B. He opened a hospital.

A. Because they will become their children's first teacher someday.

B. Because they love reading.

C. Because they can learn how to write their own names.

D. Because they can be smarter than boys.

68. What's the number of girls who can go back to school with the help of Spring Bud Education Program?

A. 3 million. B. More than 3 million.

C. Less than 3 million. D. Over 2 million.
