Once you find a dream，what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream true?

Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrews tells us that making our dreams true is life’s biggest challenge(挑战).

In fact，everyone can make his dream come true.The fast 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，in fact，many small dreams.

You must also never give up your dream.

There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams.But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself.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 getting your dream，the book says.

You need to decide what is the most important.Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results，while saving five yuan instead of buying all ice cream means you can buy a new book.As you get closer to your dream，it may change a little.This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

During a winter storm in 1919, one dog managed to save the lives of the people on the ship Ethie. Today, people still tell the story of the dog.

In December 1919, Ethie was travelling along the coast of northern Canada. Without warning, the ship ran into a bad storm. Because of high winds and heavy snow, the captain could not tell where he was going. Sailing too close to the shore (岸), the ship could not move because of some rocks. Ethie was in danger.

The captain decided to save the people on his ship. He thought it was too dangerous to try to reach the shore by lifeboat, so he sent up flares (闪光信号) to call for help. People saw the flares and rushed to the beach. The crew (船员) tried to throw a rope (绳子) to them, but there seemed to be no way to get a rope to the shore.

In the early 1900s ships often carried a large kind of dog called a Newfoundland. Newfoundlands are excellent swimmers. During sea journeys, Newfoundlands would bring back things that had fallen off the ship or even save people from the sea.

The Newfoundland on Ethie was named Tang. The captain decided that Tang offered their best hope of survival (幸存). He gave the dog a long rope. Holding the rope between his teeth, Tang jumped into the turbulent water. He fought his way through high waves and strong winds. Finally he reached the beach.

The people on the shore took the rope. The rope became the ship’s lifeline.

Because of Tang, all the people on Ethie landed on the beach safely. He was given a special medal for being a hero. Tang wore the medal f or the rest of his life.
