    I have a friend named Monty Roberts. He has let me use his horse ranch(养马场)to put on events to raise money for youth at risk programs.
    Last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant(流动的)horse trainer. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be when he grew up.”
    “That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of owning a horse ranch someday. He put all his heart into the project and wrote about his dream in great detail. He even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of the buildings, stables and the track, and even a detailed floor plan for a 4000-square-foot house on it.”
    “The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later ,he received a large red “F” on his paper with a note, ‘See me after class.’ The boy went to see the teacher and asked why. The teacher told him there was no way for a young boy like him to do that because owning a horse ranch required much money and resources, and then added ‘If you’ll rewrite his paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’”
    “The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what to do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it’s a very important decision for you.’”
    “Finally, a week later, the boy turned in the same paper without any change and stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’”
    “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.”
    Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.
    【小题1】 The teacher gave him an “F” for his written paper because the
    teacher thought 　　    .

    A．he didn’t do a good job in his studies
    B．he described an unrealistic goal in his paper
    C．he came from an itinerant horse trainer’s family
    D．he wrote his paper without the help of his father
    【小题2】 Why did the boy turn in the same paper without any change?
    A．Because he made up his mind to stick to his dream.
    B．Because his father stopped him from rewriting it.
    C．Because he was angry about his teacher’s words.
    D．Because he had put too much of his heart into it.
    【小题3】 From the story we can infer that the boy was actually 　　    .
    A．Monty himselfB．the author himself
    C．Monty’s friendD．an unknown person
    【小题4】 According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT
    that 　　    .
    A．the boy was very interested in having a horse ranch of his own
    B．the boy might have got a higher grade if he’d rewritten his paper
    C．the boy succeeded in turning his dream into reality in the end
    D．the boy wouldn’t have reached his goal without his father’s support
    【小题5】 The author wrote this passage mainly to 　　    
    A．tell people how to describe their goals
    B．warn people against dream stealers
    C．encourage people to stick to their dreams
    D．teach people how to write their papers

    　　The Gunpowder Plot was conspiracy(阴谋)to kill King James I, as well as the members of the House of Lords and Commons at the re-opening of Parliament．It was designed by a group of Catholics in protest against the anti-Catholic laws that were being introduced by the king．

    　　Robert Catesby was the leader of the group．It was he and his cousin, Thomas Wintour, and two other friends, Thomas Percy and John Wright, who formed the center of the group．They were joined by nine more men; among them was Guy Fawkes, from the city of York in the north of England．

    　　Fawkes found a store room directly under the House of Lords and rented it out under the false name of John Johnson．The conspirators stored thirty-six barrels of gunpowder there, and Fawkes, who was an explosives expert, was to light the fuses(引信)on 5th November 1605．

    　　The plot failed because one of the conspirators, Francis Tresham, sent a letter to his relative, who was a member of the House of Lords．The letter warned him not to attend the opening ceremony of Parliament．The letter was passed on to the authorities, who took action．

    　　Guy Fawkes was found in the cellar on the night of 4th November with the thirty-six barrels and a number of fuses．He was imprisoned and ill-treated, eventually giving away the names of the conspirators．

    　　Soldiers of the king surrounded Holbeach House, in the Midlands, where they knew the conspirators to be hiding．In the fight that followed, four of them were shot dead, including Catesby and Percy, who were actually killed by the same bullet．The others were imprisoned and hanged along with Guy Fawkes on 31st January 1606．

    　　These days, on 5th November, children all over Britain celebrate Guy Fawkes Night by building huge bonfires and lighting fireworks．It's a family tradition and an occasion to eat potatoes baked by the flames．There is always a 'guy' on top of the fire, a model of Guy Fawkes, dressed in the clothes of the 17th century．
