完形填空。
I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(牧场). He has let me use his
1 to
raise money for poor students.
2 I was there he introduced me by saying,"I want to tell you why I let
Jack use my house. It all goes back to a story about a boy who was the son of a
3 horse trainer. "
One day the boy was
4 to write a paper about what he wanted to do when he grew up. He wrote
a paper describing his
5 of someday owning a horse ranch. Two days later he
6 his paper
back. On the front page was a large red "F" with a note
7 ,"See me after class. "
The boy went to see the
8 after class and asked,"Why did I receive an F?"The teacher said,"This
is a(n)
9 dream for a young boy like you. You have no coins.
10 a horse ranch requires a lot of
11 . "Then the teacher added,"lf you
12 rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal,I will
13 your grade. "The boy went home and
14 about it long and hard. Finally,the boy
15 the same paper,making no
16 at all. He said,"You can keep the F and I'll keep my
17 ."
Having told the story,Monty said,"l tell you this story
18 you are sitting on my 200-acre horse
ranch. I still have that school paper
19 ; over the fireplace. " He added, "The best part of the story is that
the same teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. "
When the teacher was leaving,he said, " Look,Monty,I can tell you this now. When I was your
teacher,I was something of a dream
20 . Fortunately you had enough determination not to give up. "
Don't let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart,no matter what happens.
