Monty was the son of a horse trainer. When he was in his ninth grade, he was asked to write a __36__ about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

    That night he wrote a seven-page paper saying that someday he’d __37__ a horse ranch (牧场). He wrote about his dream in great detail and he __38__ drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch with all the buildings.

    He put a great deal of his __39__ into the project and the next day he handed it in __40__ his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a __41__ that read, “See me after class.”

    The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “__42__ did I receive an F?”

The teacher said, “This is an __43__ dream for a young boy like you. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of __44__. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for other things. There is no__45__ you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “__46__ you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”

The boy went home and thought about __47__ long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important __48__ for you.”

Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the __49__ paper, making no changes at all. He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my  50  .”

One day I was watching a movie at home and tears dropped from my eyes as I saw a touching scene. My three-year-old son came to me and asked me why I was crying. I   31  slient as I couldn’t explain to him it was just an emotional thing. To my surprise, he  32   my face with his little hand and said, ” Dear Mom, stop crying! You see  33   will be fine. You’re my good girl. So just get up and let’s get ready for school.” On hearing him saying this to me I could not help  34   .It was so funny for a child to say so .Later I  35   that he had repeated(重复) almost the  36   thing that I told him when he was crying.

The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to  37   what his parents have been telling him for a long time. Usually parents  38  with the words ”Mama” ,”Papa” and so on .But as the child  39   learning and possibly starts speaking on his own without being  40   ,we as parents always forget he’s still being tutored by us. The only difference is that we’re now doing that in a more   41   way than before. We always use words that we don’t want our child to say, and when he says those words, we  42    where he has learned them. Even then , some of us don’t realize that the child has learned the words only from us only. 43   We start to put the blame ( 指责) on either his friends or somebody who has talked to him when we are not present.

So if you want your child to have perfect   44   , you’ll have to set a good example to him. And if you can’t do this, you have no right to expect your child to have such a thing. After all, the parents’ words and behavior have a great  45   over his child.
