Boris was a teacher. He taught science at a high school. For he needed some books for his lessons, he went to a bookshop to buy some. After he put them in his car in a quiet street, he went to buy some other things at other shops. When he came back to his car, one window was open and the books were gone. Boris drove home sadly.

That night he called a newspaper. The next day people read an advertisement in the newspaper:

Books: Have you got any old books? I buy old and modern books. Open all day on Saturdays. Boris 82 West Road.

And then he went to the police station with the Wednesday newspaper at once.

The first weekend, when Boris was staying at home, his first visitor came at 8:30 in the morning. Boris took him to the kitchen. At about ten o’clock another man arrived. He had a bag under his arm.

As soon as he saw Boris, he asked, “Are you Boris?”

“Yes, I am,” Boris said. “What can I do for you?”

“Look! I have got some good books here. You buy books, don’t you?”

“Yes. Bring them in. Let me have a look at them.”

Soon the books were taken in and showed on the dinning-table. “Sir, come out now,” Boris called. “And take the list with you.”

A policeman appeared in the dinning-room. He read the names on the books, and then read the names on the list in his hand. He found that they were the same.

“Come with me, sir,” the policeman said to the man.

Even in early time, people could realize the important of dreams and knew that dreams gave meaning to life. Every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality (现实).
Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naïve. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized (排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else’s in his time.
Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves.
Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world.
To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true.
【小题1】 People who ______ could probably realize their dreams.
