If you ever cross a road in a foreign country, be careful! Traffic rules are often different there!

  Before you cross the street, you always look right first, not left! Cars drive in the opposite direction. Give yourself enough time to cross the road. Cars go much faster in Britain.

  So why do the British drive on the left when most of the world drives on the right?

  Hundreds of years ago, almost every one drove on the left. Why? Men used their right hands to draw their swords while they rode their horses. If an enemy came toward them they would have their swords ready in the middle of the road to start fighting. Napoleon, the great French leader, was left-handed. Some say that's why Europeans drive on the right side!

  About a quarter of the world's people drive on the left. Australians and New Zealanders do. Americans drive on the fight like us.

   I used to watch a little girl playing basketball every day from my kitchen window. One day I asked her why she practiced so   1  . She said, “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is   2   a scholarship(獎學金). I like basketball and I want to be the   3  player in college. My dad told me, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.”

She never changed her mind. I watched her through those high years and into senior high school. One day before she graduated from high school, I saw her sitting on the grass

  4  . I asked her what was wrong. She told me that her coach said she was too short to be a good basketball player, so she should stop  5  about going to college. She was heartbroken and it made me feel bad,   6  . Then she smiled and told me her father said that coach was wrong. He did not understand the power of dream.. Her father said to her, “If you   7  want to play for the scholarship of a good college, nothing but you   8  can stop your dream.” He told her again: “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.”

The next year, she and her team went to a big game. She   9  by a coach of a famous college team and was offered a scholarship to the   10  basketball team of their college. She was to get the college education that she had dreamed of and worked toward for all those years.
