I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(牧马场). He has let me use his       36     to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he told me his story. when he was young, his family is too    37    to have a house to live in. As a     38    , when he was in high school, he was asked to write a paper about     39     he wanted to be and do when he grew up. That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of     40     a horse ranch. He also drew a picture to show a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a beautiful farm. The next day he handed it in to his    41   . Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F. Roberts asked, “Why did I receive an F?” He teacher said, “This is a(an)   42    dream for a young boy like you. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.” Then the teacher added, “If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your    43   .”

The boy went home and thought about it for a    44    and hard time. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to    45   your own mind on this. Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no    46   at all. He told his teacher “you could keep the F and I    47   keep my dream.

Monty tell me this   48    because I am sitting in his 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. He said a lot of kids’s    49   can be stole. Don't let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.    50   he had enough gumption(毅力) not to give up my dream.
