I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(牧马场).He has let me use his       36     to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he told me his story.when he was young, his family is too    37    to have a house to live in.As a     38    , when he was in high school, he was asked to write a paper about     39     he wanted to be and do when he grew up.That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of     40     a horse ranch.He also drew a picture to show a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a beautiful farm.The next day he handed it in to his    41   .Two days later he received his paper back.On the front page was a large red F.Roberts asked, “Why did I receive an F?” He teacher said, “This is a(an)   42    dream for a young boy like you.Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.” Then the teacher added, “If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your    43   .”

The boy went home and thought about it for a    44    and hard time.He asked his father what he should do.His father said, “Look, son, you have to    45   your own mind on this.Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no    46   at all.He told his teacher “you could keep the F and I    47   keep my dream.

Monty tell me this   48    because I am sitting in his 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch.He said a lot of kids’s    49   can be stole.Don't let anyone steal your dreams.Follow your heart, no matter what.   50   he had enough gumption(毅力) not to give up my dream.

Monty was the son of a horse trainer. When he was in his ninth grade, he was asked to write a __31__ 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 __32__ a horse ranch (牧场). He wrote about his dream in great detail and he __33__ drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch with all the buildings.
He put a great deal of his __34__ into the project and the next day he handed it in __35__ his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a __36__ that read, “See me after class.”
The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “__37__ did I receive an F?”
The teacher said, “This is an __38__ dream for a young boy like you. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of __39__. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for other things. There is no__40__ you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “__41__ you rewrite this paper with a more realisticgoal, I will reconsider your grade.”
The boy went home and thought about __42__ 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 __43__ for you.”
Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the __44__ paper, making no changes at all. He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my   45 .”

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.
