21、“Time to wake up!” I pull the pillow over my head. It isn’t time to wake up already, is it?

“Come on, get out of bed,” says Dad. “I need your sheets.” Oh, right. It’s Saturday. Laundry day. Dad has a new idea. He doesn’t use the dryer anymore, at least in summer. Instead, I have to hang all the laundry on a clothesline in the backyard. It seems like a lot of work. And it means I can’t sleep in on Saturday.

Dad gets the washing started early. That way all the clothes can dry by the end of the day. “Up,” says Dad as he starts pulling the sheets off the bed. I drop off the bed onto the floor. “Go hang these!” Dad drops a wet sheet on me. It’s so cold! What a way to wake up!

After I hang up the sheet, I come inside and find Dad in the kitchen. He’s made pancakes. Dad sits down across from me. “Why so sad?” “Stupid laundry,” I said. “It takes forever!” “Well, you know we have to do laundry, right?” “Yup.” “And you realize that I collect the laundry, wash it, take it off the line, fold it, and put it away?” I am starting to feel guilty. “And you have to help out around here, right?” “I know, Dad. I also know that by hanging the laundry instead of using the dryer, we can save more energy. And that means we spend less and pollute less.” Dad is glad that I remember all that.

I’m quiet for a minute. I think I have to stop complaining（抱怨）about hanging the rest of the laundry.

23、As a teenager, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; or they can be small—you may just want to become the best student in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to make your dream come true?

Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects or it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from achieving your dream. In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is made up of many small dreams.

“Wow!” Julia said. “You’re always so quiet, I thought you were afraid of everything, but you are brave.”

“I know that when animals are frightened or excited, you have to stay calm. ”

The keeper nodded in agreement and asked Emma, “Would you be interested in volunteering to help out with the animals at the center?”

“Interested? I would love to work here! What an opportunity!” Emma was excited.
