I started drawing houses at six.Unlike most girls，my dream was to build a backyard clubhouse-an unrealistic dream because we lived in an apartment.By high school I continued drawing and my dreams broadened-to become an architect.My elder brother told me that took a university education.But my family couldn't afford that kind of education.Still，I fanned the name of hope.
    I got a part-time job at Bayside Bowl and started saving money.My bank account however，was growing quite slowly.When I looked at college catalogues，I couldn't imagine how I would ever get there.I decided to shrink（縮?。﹎y dreams to a more realistic size.
   Soon after that，a newcomer started frequenting Bayside Bowl.She arrived alone and always carried a pink hag with a hall inside.Her dark，wrinkled skin and curly gray hair made her stand out among our younger customers.She talked to me whenever I cleaned near her lane（球道）.I learned her name was Bessie.She had been a singer for as long as she could remember.In her 20s she had tried to get a job as a restaurant singer， "I was a young black woman，and in the early 1950s doors didn't exactly open wide for me.Zilch!（無價值之人）." she said.
    But I appreciated her advice. "Life's like bowling，" she would say. "Set your eyes on your target and follow through. " Indeed，Bessie hadn't let the "zilches" stop her.She had saved up and enrolled in the Brightwood Music Academy.It turned out this lady with the pink bowling bag was the Bessie Richards，a recording artist of the 1960s.
   Before leaving，Bessie left me some lines of poetry she had copied from a book.Bessie said， "Read this when the going seems tough.It'll help you follow through and reach for your goal." These are the lines：
    Hold fast to dreams
    For if dreams die
    Life is a broken-winged bird
    That cannot fly
    Hold fast to dreams
    For when dreams go
    Life is a barren field
    Frozen with snow.
    A year has passed since I last bowled with Bessie，and I've restarted my drawing.I'm working and saving money，taking drafting classes，and applying for internships（實習(xí)）.Whenever I'm discouraged，I reread those lines of poetry，There'll be no barren（盆脊）field of frozen snow nor zilches for me.Inspired by Bessie and the poem，I plan to continue to dream.

1．Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students，free periods （課、節(jié)） are useless.From what I have seen，few do homework. （1）

.This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any.As a senior next year，I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
   （2）

.Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one.We will experiment in different fields of study.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
   In my 8th grade，I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement；so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art.One of the projects was to build a clay pot，but I built mine incorrectly，so it broke in the kiln （窯）. （3）

.Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.However，the class was one of my favorites that year.I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
   （4）

!College is when we should focus on a specific major，but high school is when we have to figure it out.
   Half of all college students change their major at some point.By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take.So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. （5）

.

A.Our school offers many classes
B.We should find out what we are good at
C.I've avoided anything related to art since then
D.Instead，many are on their phones and talking
E.I found out that I have no artistic ability at all
F.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things
G.The classes we choose can influence us in the future

2．Most smart phones allow you to run location-sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location．There are lots of great uses for this technology．（1）

So make sure you're permitted to use an app or service，and pay attention to how you are using it．Here're some important points you may find helpful．
   Choose what's best for you．Some location-sharing services are games that let you give a shout-out when you've turned up at a particular spot．（2）

Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting．Be sure you know exactly how your service shares your location．
   Know who your friends are．（3）

This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend．It's important to remember that sharing your location with people you've never met in real life is risky，so you should carefully manage friend requests and share your location only with people you know and trust．
   （4）

Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time，but others will send it forever-until you stop it．Review your contact list periodically and delete anyone to whom you no longer feel comfortable revealing your location．
   Update parents．Location-based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text．（5）

If you're heading home late at night，you can also use a service like Glympse to share your location as you drive，so they'll know if you have car trouble or get stuck in traffic．

A．Check back often．
B．Keep sending your location．
C．However，these services are not for all children．
D．With its help，you can easily share your location with them．
E．Check-ins ease worries so they don't have to follow your every move．
F．Others show where you are all the time or for a period of time you set．
G．Some location services operate like Facebook，where you invite and accept friends．
