Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.
When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.

Monty Robert’s father was a horse trainer. As a child, Monty often went from one farm to   21  with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to   22   food, but Monty still kept hoping to own a   23   farm.

When he was in school, his teacher asked him to write a paper   24   what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. He wrote a seven-page paper   25   his dream of having a horse farm one day. He   26   drew a picture of a horse farm in the paper.

The next day he handed   27   in to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with some words “See me after class.”   28   the boy did and asked his teacher, “Why did I get an F?” The teacher said, “This dream will not   29   for a young boy like you.   30   a horse farm needs a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you write this paper again with a   31   dream, I will give you a good grade.”

After school he thought about it   32  . At last, he decided to hand in the same paper, making   33   changes at all. He wrote, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my   34  .”

Many years later, Monty had his own 200 acres horse farm. His dream came true.

So don’t let   35   take away your dreams. Follow your dreams, no matter what they are.
