You may have heard the term "the American Dream". In 1848, James W. Marshall found gold in California and people began having golden dreams. That 19th century "American Dream" motivated (激发起) the Gold Rush and gave California its nickname of the "Golden State".
The American Dream drove not only 1800s gold-rush prospectors but also waves of immigrants throughout that century and the next. People from Europe, and a large number of Chinese, arrived in the US in the 19th century hoping that in America they would find gold in the streets. But most, instead, worked as railroad labourers. They created the oldest Chinatown, in San Francisco, and gave the city a Chinese name "the old gold hill".
In the 20th century, some critics said that it was no longer possible to become prosperous through determination and hard work. Unfair education for students from poor families and racial discrimination almost made the American Dream a nightmare.
Then, in the 1990s, California saw a new wave of dreamers in Silicon Valley. People poured their energy into the Internet. This new chapter of the American Dream attracted many business people and young talents from China and India to form start-ups and seek fortunes in America.
Better pay, a nice house, and a rising standard of living will always be attractive. However, the new American Dream is no longer just about money. It encourages Americans to consume wisely to protect the environment, improve the quality of life, and promote social justice.
The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has become the model of the new American Dream. After years of hard work, he grew from a poor young man from Austria into a movie superstar and then governor. Many people hope his story can save the American Dream and give California a brighter future.

I will never forget the two impressive things that happened last winter. One of my classmates and I were 36 our project work late at night on my university's campus far from home. Since there was 37 in the forecast, I had worn a winter 38 to school that day with a raincoat in my bag.
Throughout our work on the project, I could 39 that my friend was tired from a very long day working. As we stepped outside to begin the 40 walk home, I 41 she was shivering(颤抖). The temperature had dropped to the low thirties (Fahrenheit) and she 42 had a sweater on. I 43 offered her my warm jacket. She accepted it and asked me what I 44 wear then. I told her I had another one and pretended that my 45 was a jacket. She said later that she 46 the next morning and the first thing on her mind was feeling moved about my 47 of the jacket.
Coincidentally(碰巧), the next day I went to an open-air play and I was freezing 48 I didn’t expect it to be so 49 . A person who I hardly 50 insisted that I wear his jacket. I was 51 touched by this warm gesture. He was so matter-of-fact(讲究实际的) about me 52 his coat, too: he simply took it off and handed it to me telling me that I should 53 it. I used to think that this vast universe was a cold 54 . It turns out that even when the temperature drops low, the people never 55 to warm each other's hearts.
