Tom is a son of a farm owner. One New Year’s Day, when he was 15,his father asked him      on the farm for one year when he was free. Tom was      with his father’s idea. “ That isn’t my job. I have      school work to do.” Hearing this , his father said,” I promise to give you the best present if you      finish one year’s work.”  Tom thought for a while and      .

   Starting one Saturday, the boy got up early and worked hard until evening ,just like        famers.Time passed quickly. Tom’s crops(庄稼)grew well.       the last day of the year, the father called his son to him.“I’m happy to see that you have worked very hard      year,”said his father.” Now tell me      you want.”

  The boy smiled and showed his father a big piece of bread made from his wheat. “I’ve already got the best present: No pains, No gains. I think this is what you wanted me to know.” His father was        to hear that.

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.
