Monty was the son of a horse trainer. When he was in his ninth grade, he was asked to write a  1  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 2 a horse ranch (牧场). He wrote about his dream and he 3 drew a picture of a 200-acre(英里) ranch with all the buildings.

    He put his  4  into the project and the next day he handed it in 5  his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a  6  that read, “See me after class. ”

    The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “ 7  did I receive an F? ”

    The teacher said, “That is an  8  dream for a young boy like you. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of  9  . You have to buy the land. You have to pay for other things. There is no  10  you could ever do it. ” Then the teacher added, “  11  you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal(更现实的目标), I will make your grade better. ”

    The boy went home and thought about  12  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  13  for you. ”

Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the 14paper, making no changes at all. He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I'll keep my 15 . ”

    We tried communicating with the driver but with little4because he couldn't speak French. He tried to tell us with body language that he was going to get help and then he left.

    We were in a poor area, with5houses in sight. We started to bear the cries of wild animals Sophie was very afraid. We didn't have much food and it was getting 6and darker I began to lose7 Should we leave the car? Would our driver ever8? Was he a trustworthy man? We were very worried.

    Later that evening, the phone rang. It was our14 He had kept his word and fixed the car.

    I will15forget the warmth we received on that day because we depended on a complete stranger for help.

    An old friend from the US whom I was looking forward to staying with, telephoned from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. I was still at the 1 at that time, but I had got everything ready for his arrival. After letting him know where my house was, I told him that I had the 2 under the door-mat (门垫). 3 I was possible to be home rather late, I told him to go into the 4 and help himself to food and drink.

    Two hours later my friend 5 me from the house. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having just had a truly wonderful 6. He had found a cooker and 7 two eggs and had helped himself to some cold chicken from the ice box. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice and he hoped I would 8 him. When I asked him if he had reached the house without difficulty, he answered, "I was not able to find the key, but 9 the living room windows just by the apple tree were left open and you know what I could do."

    I listened to all this in 10. In front of my living room there was no apple tree at all.

    Lao She was one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. He was not only an excellent novelist, 1a great dramatist(剧作家).

    Lao She was born into a poor family in Beijing and his2name was Shu Qingchun. His family was poor after his father died. His mother had a very 3time. Lao She worked his way through college. After graduating he started to work as a 4 in primary and middle schools. He had liked 5 since he was a child. He was famous6his novel Camel Xiangzi and the play Teahouse. Teahouse shows the life of the Chinese people between 1898 and1945. Most people like to read 7.

    Like 8 famous intellectuals(知识分子) in China, he experienced lots of bad things in the middle 1960s. 9, he killed himself in a lake in 1966.

    He was married to Hu Jieqing and they10 four children, one son and three daughters.

    Do you know the beautiful girl on the stage(舞台)？She is dancing. 1name is Jenny Green. Green is her father's2name. She was born on August 25th. Jenny's father3 in New York. She goes to visit him when she is 4 on weekends.

    Jenny is5 medium height and she6 long black hair. Her favorite7are tennis and baseball. She likes8 music and she likes P.E. classes, too. She is young but she is a famous9now. We can often see her in the movie or on TV. I love her10 movie very much and always ask my friends to watch it.

I was walking along a busy road when I noticed a young man standing near the crossing selling toys.1I would hurry past such sellers. But I found this young man was 2, so I stood for some time without crossing the street. I wanted to see how he sold his things.

Soon, a young mother with a little girl came by and the child set 3 eyes on one of the teddy bears. The mother asked the 4 and it was only one dollar. She 5 out a 10­dollar note from her handbag and told the young man that she was giving him 10 dollars and wanted the 6 back. I was wondering how he was going to do it. He told the young mother to put the money in the bag 7 around his neck and take out her change.

I realized that this young man depended on believing people would not cheat him. There was no way for him to know 8 someone took out more than they should have done. I was so 9. I bought a car model from him that I did not need. As I walked down the street, I gave the car model to a kid walking with his father.

I kept thinking that the world would be a better place if we could all learn to 10others more, like the young blind street seller.
