Carly Williams decided to become a TV reporter when she was in Grade 6. “ One day, we went out into forest and did some reporting about forest fires,” Carly said. “ Ever since then, I have loved the job and I have been trying to do it as much as I can.”
Now 15, Carly reports for the news program at her school. And she has interviewed many famous people including some famous basketball players and TV stars.
“Carly is a great student and I am sure she will achieve her dream in the future,” said one of Carly’s teachers.
Last month the happiest thing for Carly was that she got a call from Teen Kids News in New York. She sent them some films she made by herself for the school news program. Teen Kids News is on over 200 TV stations around the USA. The producer of the show said he liked Carly’s films and asked if Carly would make a film for them.
“ All I could say was, yes, yes, yes!” Carly said. “ I didn’t even think for a second.”
Carly spent five days learning something about Teen Kids News in New York. She also visited a person who was a reporter for Teen Kids News and got some advice.
Her first task was to interview an artist in New York. Carly said she worried about working with a new team because she wanted to impress the producer. Although under great pressure, she did a wonderful job.
“Carly has gotten to do some pretty amazing things,” said Carly’s mother. “For her to get that taste of it was pretty cool.”

One's attitude is always important. If you are lazy and weak, you will never taste any success. But if you are  16  , success and happiness will be more likely to come to you.

I love eating persimmons(柿子). But you can't get them until autumn. If you try them before the right time, they probably  17  bad.

In Grade Six, because of my poor grades, my parents were  18  that I wouldn't be able to get into an excellent middle school. They  19  me to study harder, but I didn't really understand why they were so anxious.

Summer came, and I studied hard. The hot weather made me   20   and I couldn't focus on my textbooks. But every time I wanted to stop  21  , Mom would shout, "Hey, you! Think about your  22  . If you don't work hard, you'll regret (后悔) it!" I had to sit back down again and return to my textbooks. But all I  23  was playing with my friends and eating persimmons.

My mom would say to me, with a serious look on  24  face, "If a persimmon tree doesn't grow in summer, it can't bear( 结出 ) fruit in autumn ! Only by hard work,   25  you get the good result of your work. "

Although I didn't understand it at that time, I  26  came to see the truth of her words. A few months later, I succeeded in getting into the key middle school. It was  27  . Walking in my new school, I could see quite a few persimmon trees. The fruit was so red that it looked as if it was on fire. Suddenly, I  28   that working hard may be bitter but its fruit is sweet.

My mom was right: If a persimmon tree doesn't grow  29  summer, it can't bear fruit in autumn. I smiled.

I had grown through the summer  30  now it was autumn.

I tasted my success and enjoyed the fruits of my labors!
