　　Life is full of sweet surprises for Chinese pop singer Edell.
　　She majored in design in a Canadian college. But when she was looking for a job after graduation, she found herself rising as a star in singing. Then she became a hostess on TV. "These are roles I never expected to take," she said.
　　Edell is open to every possibility in life, not afraid to try new things. She says that every day she tries to get herself ready to take any chance that occurs in life.
　　“My mom told me chance only rewards those with a prepared mind,” she said. “So I’ve tried to explore my potential talents. Thus I won’t be at a loss when the right opportunity comes up.”
　　Edell learned ballet in her childhood until she broke her back in practice. She then fell in love with music.
　　Like many girls of her age, she has a rich collection of CDs. But she never dreamed of being a singer. One day she was noticed by a talent scout(星探). she gave a try and succeeded! And that’s not the end of the story.
　　Once she was invited to be the hostess of the Asian MTV Awards in Thailand. Though she has never had any experience, she accepted the invitation. “At least I could make a trip to the foreign country,” she said. Upon arrival at the ceremony, she had to read through a 91-page English biography of every guest. She studied it so much that she could recite all the details in it.
　　It helped her greatly. She greeted those strange faces she had never seen before and talked with them like an old friend. She did a great job. The MTV channel was so satisfied that they offered her a job as a TV hostess.“Try to get yourself well-prepared in life,” she said. “In the meantime, try to live your life with brains.”

　　As you grow rapidly through your teenage years you will experience a lot of changes.
　　The changes may seem monumental and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with this time! The changes may seem difficult and your new-found responsibilities may seem daunting(令人畏惧的) but you’re not alone. Everyone that you’ve grown up with is going through the same things!
　　With more responsibilities you will find more freedom to mar own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already r career path or you may have no idea at all of what you want to do. Both situations are fine! If you are diligent, the right opportunity will be ready for you. Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably begin to want to do things independently of your family/ care-givers. Try not to shut your family out of your life and remember to be considerate even though you are older and are capable of looking after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world and they will be around you when you leave this world.
　　It is also perfectly natural in this time of transition to want to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. Real friends are rarer than hen’s teeth. A true friend will stand with you, whatever the circumstances are.
　　This period of transition is a part of the circle of life. There are some people who will be with you throughout the life’s journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school/college can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again. Sure, there may be reunions and you will keep in touch with some of them. But the fact is you will need to leave some of them behind as you move forwards on the path that you feel is right for you.

　　A. they feel alone when their family and friends leave them
　　B. there are usually difficult things for them to deal with
　　C. they have no life plans and feel helpless
　　D. they have no freedom to make their own choices
