Dear daughters，

      Most parents tell their children，"You can be anything you want when you grow up．"I feel the same and I say this often．But I also want you to understand that the dream itself comes from hard work，some good luck and good timing．

    Girls，here are some words of wisdom（智慧） as you make your way in the world，from your mama．

1．Be open﹣minded to changing your path（even several times）along the way．

    In high school，I wanted to be an official．I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington，DC．There，I discovered that I'm creative，a strong leader and great at marketing．As result，I moved on to be the head of a national organization．Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to starting a business．Now I run a successful company that I started up all by myself．

    Work out what you are good at and what you are interested in．Keep an open mind and change what you are doing based on what you are learning about yourself．

2．Failure is critical to your success

    I won't tell you to feel good about failure．Failure can be heartbreaking．But I will tell you that every failure I've had along the way has absolutely made me better．

    Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing．I finally passed，and I've never failed an exam again．I learned from that experience to ask for help．Now，I ask for help in business all the time．

        I'm proud to be a role model to you as a mom and a company owner，I hope I can help you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have everything on your list．It will be very glad to watch your lives unfold before my eyes．

    Love，

    Your Mom

Recently， China announced it had achieved success in drilling fire ice or methane hydrate（天然气水合物即，可燃冰）， from the seabed in the shenhu area of the South China Sea． It produces high amount of energy when it is burned， leaving nothing but dioxide and water．

    Many countries， including the United States and Japan， have long been doing research on methane hydrate， but taking it from bottom of the sea has been a common problem they are facing．According to reports．China succeeded in drilling methane hydrate for a number of days continuously and got an average of over 16，000 m 3 daily． It is believed to be a big breakthrough．

    Scientists say there is about 21， 000 trillion（ 万亿 ）3 of methane hydrate in the world． If we can use it， it can meet the world's energy need for 1， 000 years． However， it is too early to say a new energy source （来源 ） has been found because we are still facing two main challenges﹣environmental risk and economic（经济的）cost． When methane hydrate is taken from the seabed， it may go into the air easily． That's very bad for the environment because methane is one of the worst greenhouse gases， Besides， drilling methane hydrate is very expensive as well．

    However， China's technology breakthrough is very important because it shows the way researchers across the world should take． It also raises hopes that one day we can drill methane hydrate as a source of energy．

A． China is producing a large amount of energy from fire ice

B． China is making good use of fire ice throughout the country

（2）What's the common problem many countries are facing when doing research on fire ice？　　

A． How to take it out from the bottom of the sea

B． How to turn it into useful energy at the lowest cost．

C． How to make it cheap on the future energy market．

D．How to change it into a traditional form of energy．

（3）Why is it too early to say a new energy source has been found？　　

A． Because it's too difficult to find the place where the fire ice lies and how to drill it．

B． Because it's not easy for fire ice to go into the air and be good for the environment．

C． Because it s quite impossible for fire ice to take the place of other sources of energy

D．Because it's expensive to drill fire ice and it may do great harm to the environment

（4）Where can we probably read the article？　　

A．In a storybook．

B．In a newspaper．

C．In a travel guide．

D．In a advertisement
