【5】 The Big Dream of the Zapps—to Travel All over the World

【解析】

短文重点介绍拥有梦想，用行动去实现梦想。介绍了几个成功的例子。哈里-乔登，在他母亲的帮助下，他建立了自己的网站。他的梦想是成为世界上最大的玩具店老板。马特现在是一名著名歌手。过去他当过邮递员，送奶工和一个画家。一对夫妇俩都来自阿根廷。在一辆老车的帮助下，他们旅行了40多个国家。当有人问是什么让他们旅行整个世界，他们回答说：“这只是一个梦，从阿根廷到整个世界。”

【1】句意：Harli Jordean的梦想是什么？根据短文内容Harli's dream is to become the owner of one of the biggest toy stores in the world．（Harli的梦想是成为世界上最大的玩具店的店主之一）可知他的梦想是成为世界上最大的玩具店老板之一，故填Harli's dream is to become the owner of one of the biggest toy stores in the world.

【2】句意：Matt Cardle在成为热门歌手之前做了哪些工作？根据短文内容，He worked as a postman，milkman and a painter．（他当过邮递员，送奶工和一个画家）可知他干过的工作，故填Before he became a hot singer, he worked as a postman, milkman and a painter.

【3】放弃give up；梦想dream；从没有，never；所以"从没有放弃过他的梦想"翻译为：never give up his dream．但该处要用一般过去时，故填never gave up his dream。

【4】该句为if引导的条件状语从句，make our dream come true意为：实现我们的梦想，动词start意为“开始”，故翻译为：如果我们现在就开始去做，我们每一个人都可以实现我们的梦想。

【5】该新闻讲述了来自阿根廷的一对夫妻的梦想，他们打算通过小汽车去周游世界，而且一直为了梦想在努力，可填The Big Dream of the Zapps—to Travel All over the World
