Monty was the son of a horse trainer. When he was in his ninth grade, 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 saying that someday he’d __37_ _ a horse ranch (牧场). He wrote about his dream in great detail and he _ _38 __ drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch with all the buildings. He put a great deal of his __ 39 __ into the project and the next day he handed it in _ _40_ _ his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a _ _41 __ that read, “See me after class.” The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “__ 42_ _ did I receive an F?” The teacher said, “This is an _ _43_ _ dream for a young boy like you. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of _ _44 __. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for other things. There is no_ _45_ _ you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “__ 46 __ you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.” The boy went home and thought about _ _47_ _ 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 _ _48_ _ for you.” Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the _ _49 __ paper, making no changes at all. He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my 50 .” 小题1: A．speech B．paper C．notice D．diary 小题2: A．paint B．win C．own D．sell 小题3: A．just B．almost C．ever D．even 小题4: A．heart B．life C．advice D．trust 小题5: A．to B．with C．from D．for 小题6: A．word B．letter C．note D．post 小题7: A．How B．Why C．When D．Where 小题8: A．unusual B．unforgettable C．unimportant D．unrealistic 小题9: A．money B．time C．space D．effort 小题10: A．wonder B．way C．problem D．matter 小题11: A．Though B．since C．Until D．If 小题12: A．himself B．him C．it D．itself 小题13: A．change B．gift C．message D．decision 小题14: A．long B．thick C．same D．correct 小题15: A．grade B．dream C．duty D．secret
