I have a friend named John Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧马场)in San Ysidro.  The last time I was there he shared a story with me. “It is a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer. When he was a senior,he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.”

That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings,the stables and the track.  

“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 read, ‘See me after class.’”

  “The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive an F?’”

  “The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There‘s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’”

  “The boy went home and 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 decision for you.’”

  “Finally,after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.‘”

  John continued, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “If I had changed my paper at that time, maybe we would not have the chance to be here talking about the dreams .”

1.What was the boy’s goal described in his seven-page paper? (No more than 6 words)

2.Why did the teacher give him a F”?                    (No more than 14 words)

3.How did John’s father respond to his son’s puzzlement?    (No more than10 words)

4.What can we learn from the article?                    (No more than 8 words.)

  I have a friend Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro.He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

  The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house.It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant(游荡的)horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses.As a result, the boy's high school career was continually interrupted.When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.”

  “That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of owning a horse ranch someday.He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track.Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.”

  “He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to the teacher.Two days later he received his paper back.On the front was a large red F with a note that read, ‘See me after class.' ”

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

  “The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you.You have no money.You come from an itinerant family.You have no resources.Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.You have to buy the land.You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you'll have to pay large stud(马群)fees.There's no way you could ever do it.'

  “The boy went home and thought about it 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 decision for you.' ”

  “Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream.'”

  Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch.I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.When the teacher was leaving, he said, ‘Look, Monty, I can tell you this now.When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer.
