阅读下列材料,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  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.' Then the teacher added, ‘If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.' ”

  “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. During those years I stole a lot of kids' dreamsFortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.'”

  Don't let anyone steal your dreams.Follow your heart, no matter what.

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw Kyle from my class walking home from school. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd (a foolish person)." I had quite a weekend planned, so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running towards him. They knocked all his books out of his arms and tripped(绊倒) him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the glass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye.

As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should go to hell." He looked at me and said, "Hey, thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real thankfulness. I asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me.

Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. I am here to tell you a story."

I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."

I heard the gasp(倒吸气) go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and Dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.

1.Why did Kyle carry all his books home?

A. Because it was Friday.

B. Because he was a nerd.

C. Because he wanted to kill himself.

D. Because he liked doing things for his mother.

2.Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The bunch of kids attacked Kyle to have his glasses and books.

B. The author planned to study all weekend after he met Kyle.

C. The author was a freshman when Kyle gave the speech.

D. Kyle felt grateful to the author for his help.

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A. When Kyle couldn't find the glass, he turned to the author for help.

B. The author teased Kyle a lot about being a nerd.

C. The author didn't expect Kyle to tell the story.

D. Kyle thanked his parents first for saving his life.

4.What does the underlined "them" in the 2nd paragraph refer to?

A. The kids.       B. Kyle's books.         C. Kyle's glasses.        D. Kyle's arms.
