It was yearbook day and we were given an hour to sign each other's yearbooks in the cafeteria．I was president of the class and I played sports．When I sat down at a table，people started to come over to get their yearbooks signed and to sign   1   

Among them，a weak boy with ugly teeth and thick glasses kept shaking．I had seen him around，and I knew he was always laughed at．He seemed   2  of himself，and was so pale that it  3  us to look at him．

He came up and asked me nervously，"Can you sign this?" I took his yearbook but I didn't know  4  to write．I saw that there was the name" Ricky Sanders" written on the front of it．So I wrote:

I put down the yearbook and turned around to get some signatures from some of my friends when I   5  my yearbook was gone．I saw that Ricky had sat down with my year-book．"What are you doing?" I asked him．He looked up calmly（平静地）and  6  said" Sign!"

My friends broke into a loud laugh，and I saw that he was carefully trying to put a signature in my yearbook．He hadn't even finished the" R" yet．I thought for a while and  7  to let him sign．

It took him nearly five minutes to sign and when I got my yearbook back，there was a very shaky" RICKY"．He hugged（紧抱） his yearbook and  8 ．I couldn't help but smile back at him．

In that moment，my  9  changed completely．

I gave him a high five and suddenly everyone at my table wanted his signature．He was asked politely to write in their yearbooks and the signature  10  of his yearbook were filled up．He was smiling so big that it lit up the whole room．

I changed schools the next year，and I never saw Ricky again．However，I will never for- get the day that he became the most  11  guy in school．Whenever I'm  12  ，I still look back at that yearbook．

One windy spring day, I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in control.
Instead of blowing away with the wind, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (控制的) string and the cumbersome (笨重的) tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose(松散的). “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”
Yet freedom(自由) simply put it in the control of an unkind wind. It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障碍物).
How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to. We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong force that helps us achieve.
【小题1】Why does the writer write the first paragraph?

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.
