Mark Twain, the famous American writer, was traveling in France. Once he was going by train to Dijon. That afternoon he was very tired and wanted to sleep, so he asked the conductor to wake him up when they came to Dijon. But first he explained that he was a very heavy sleeper. “I’ll probably protest(表示不满)loudly when you try to wake me up,” he said to the conductor, “but do not take any notice, just put me off the train anyway.”
Then Mark Twain went to sleep. Later, when he woke up, it was night-time and the train was in Paris already. He realized at once that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon. He was very angry. He ran up to the conductor and began to shout at him.“I have never been so angry in all my life,” Mark Twain said.
The conductor looked at him calmly. “You are not half so angry as the American whom I put off at Dijon,” he said.

My earliest memory of dad is grabbing (抓住) his hand while we walked together. As I ? ? older, I remembered my father and I listened to many basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep ? ? the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet (计分表) with the? ?? score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.

On cold mornings my father would drive his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered (分送) the bread to the stores. The ? ? and the warmth from the bread made me hungry and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.

My father would attend all my games. One night before an important game my father told me?? ? that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour?? ? from his route. The next day as the game time drew near, I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and?? ? saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium. He tried to make the game. I’ll always remember that.

Years later I became a teacher. I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart beat in my ears. I ? ? up the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing was very important to me. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the? ?? ? way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my? ? in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me.

Someone once asked a successful businessman this question, “How have you achieved so much in your lifetime?”

He replied, “I have dreamt. I have turned my mind free to imagine(想象) what I wanted to do. Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams. (1)At ______ I dreamt about my dreams. And when I woke up in the _______, I saw the way to make my dreams real. While other people were saying, ‘You can’t do that, it is impossible,’ I was well on my way to achieving what I wanted,” As Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the U.S, said: “We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers.”

They see things in the soft fog of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter’s evening. Some of us  let these dreams die, but others feed, protect and look after them; keep them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light. (2)It comes always to the people who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.

So please, don’t let anyone steal you dreams, and remember this: “Sing your songs, dream your dreams, and hope your hope.”
