To start with, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, we have fast, comfortable cars, and more and more people can travel by plane. Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines. Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people could not buy things like fridges, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things. Finally, nowadays, more and more people have the chance to get a good education. In the past, there were fewer schools and the quality of education was much poorer. Also, it is much easier to find the educational materials that you need on the Internet now. The scientific and technological development in the world is amazing.

But in the morning when you wake up, they are remembered just as a dream. That is what happened to me. I always had a dream of dance. When I was young, I would dance around and around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard. Reality woke me up when I heard a voice saying, "I don't know why you try to dance, Anna. You don't have the talent to be a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员)." Hearing that, I fell to the ground and cried for hours. We lived in the countryside by a lake. My mother didn't like anything because she thought nothing was ever perfect in her life. She dreamed of a different life but she ended up living in the countryside, far away from the city where she believed her dreams would come true. I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I used to sit there for hours and stare at my reflection(倒影). Once the waves came, my reflection would be washed away, just like my dream of dance. As I grew older, I began to realize my dream was even born because of something that was inside me. The dream I had was never cared for, so it slowly died. When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that I couldn't only dance in the wildflowers. I had to move on to the stage (舞台). 1 What is the writer's dream? A. To be a ballerina. B. To dance in the field. C. To live in the city. D. To help her mother. 2 Why did Anna cry for hours? A. She couldn't sleep during the night. B. She couldn't remember her dreams. C.
