Monty Roberts owns a horse ranch（牧马场） in San Ysidro. He told us his story. As a senior, 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 37 his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great 38 and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the 39 of all the buildings.
He put his heart into the 40 and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that 41 , ‘See me after class.’
The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I 42 an F?’
The teacher said, ‘This is an 43 dream for a young boy like you. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There’s no 44 you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will 45 this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’”
The boy went home and 46 it. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to 47 your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very 48 decision for you.’
Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the 49 paper, making no changes at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my 50 .’
Monty now owned a 200-acre ranch. He had 51 his plan for a 4,000-square-foot house.
Two summers ago that same school teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on his ranch for a week. When leaving, he said 52 , ‘Look, Monty. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream 53 . During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. 54 , you had enough perseverance not to give up on yours.’”
Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. 55 your heart, no matter what.

In early 2007 I had bought tickets to a Christian concert for myself and two other family members, but later I decided to 36 my 4-year-old son along.
I couldn"t find another ticket in the area we were sitting in, so I started 37 online for four tickets so we could all 38 . Imagine my surprise when the four 39 tickets I needed happened to be on the front row! Thinking it was a 40 , I tried again several times and each time the same tickets came up. I knew it had to be God, so after getting 41 the initial（最初的）shock I decided to 42 the front row tickets, which still left me 43 the three original tickets. Not knowing what to 44 with them, I asked around but did not have any 45 . Then my husband said two of his customers wanted to go to the same 46 but couldn"t afford it.
We went to their house and they said they had a friend they wanted to take with them. 47 it turned out, this couple does a prison ministry and had been 48 this concert for quite a while, but even after offering to pay me I 49 and told them to continue working in the prisons teaching those men and women to become 50 people. This couple lost a 51 several years ago and listening to this music could 52 them in their healing process. The 53 of this particular concert was "Give It Away", and I thank God for the 54 to give this to them.

Zoe Chambers was a successful PR(Public Relations) consultant and life was going well — she had a great job, beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. “The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through.” she said. “After everything I’d done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn’t feel like looking for another job. I hate everything about the city and my life.”
Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north-west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later she is still on the farm.
"The moment I arrived at Kathy"s farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay." said Zoe. "Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless."
Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. "It"s a hard life, physically very tiring." she says. "In London 1 was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy"s wonderful dinners."
Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing — watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, "It"s one of the most moving experiences I"ve ever had. I could never go back to city life now."
小题1:When working as a PR consultant in London, Zoe thought she lived a ______life.| A．satisfying | B．tough | C．meaningless | D．boring |
小题2:The most important reason why Zoe went to visit Kathy"s farm is that______.| A．Zoe lost her job as a PR consultant | | B．Kathy persuaded her to do so | | C．Zoe got tired of the city life | | D．Zoe loved Wales more than London |
小题3:How docs Zoe feel about the country life according to the passage?| A．Tiresome and troublesome. | | B．Romantic and peaceful | | C．Mentally exhausting but healthy | | D．Physically tiring but rewarding. |
小题4:Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the passage?| A．A friend in need is a friend indeed. | | B．Where there is a will, there is a way. | | C．A misfortune may turn out a blessing. | | D．Kill two birds with one stone. |

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to 36 about the fat body of a(n) 37 I found in my ‘Vegetable Surprise’ last Thursday. It was 38 a surprise to me! A bad one, though. And even worse was that 39 when I realized only half of the white insect was left there on top of my green vegetables.
I informed the 40 of my problem and I did not expect him to 41 and tell me that insects were a good source of protein. I am a vegetarian!
In fact, I have eaten in your restaurant many times 42 and this is the first time I have been 43 . And I do not feel we should have been 44 for this meal, so I would ask you to 45 the cost. I await your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. John Smith

A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile zone, when a 36 came behind him. Right away the man started thinking of 37 to give.
As the policeman came to him, he said, “Hi, officer, I guess you 38 me a little bit over the speed limit. I was in a rush to get 39 , to be with my wife and kids. You know my younger son wasn’t feeling too 40 when I left home this morning. I’m afraid he’s ill.”
The policeman said, “Well, I guess so,” and started 41 something in his notebook. As minutes went by, he could see from the side view mirror, the police-man was 42 writing. When the man was wondering why he hadn’t asked for his driving 43 so far, the policeman came to his window, 44 him a piece of paper, and returned to his car without saying a single word. The man wondered: how much was this 45 going to be? However, the man was 46 it was not a ticket at all and he began to 47 :
“I had a daughter who was 48 by a speeding car at the age of six by a speeding driver. He got a fine, a few months in 49 , and then was free, free to hug his two daughters. I only had one, and now I have to 50 until I get to heaven before I can hug her again. I have tried to 51 that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive (原谅) him. So pray (祈祷) for me, and be 52 when you drive again. My son is all I have been left with.”
The man was completely 53 and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove 54 , even a few miles 55 the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.
