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.

Everyone has a dream job and we all hope our dreams can come true. Mr Black works as a reporter at a TV station. He wants to know what jobs teenagers are going to do when they grow up. He went to the Evergreen School to do a survey last Friday.
Mr Black asked the students to discuss with each other and then fill in the form with a pen. He told them to tell the truth. Mr Black thought most students would be teachers. The teacher is one of the best professions(职业) in the world. Maybe some students would be scientists. Rich knowledge would help them. A few students would be soldiers(士兵) because they could keep our country beautiful and peaceful.
Teachers helped Mr Black before school was over. They gave out one thousand eight hundred papers to the students. When the survey’s result came out, Mr Black and the teachers were surprised. Please look at the results.

On my first job, I worked as a sports editor for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my readers, so I was   l  that there was an envelope（信封）on my desk one morning. From the   2 , I could see it was from a most popular newspaper.
When I opened it, I found a note and it read, “You did a good job. Go on!”
The note was   3  by Mr. John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand（新手）, his words made me   4  . After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. Whenever I doubted  5  I had the ability to be a good editor(编辑) , I would read John’s note and become  6  again.
Later, when I made friends with Mr. John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to   7  young people in many fields. “When I make   8  feel happy,” he told me, “I feel happy, too.”   9 , why are there few note writers like John in our life? In my   10 , many people are afraid that they cannot be well understood. Also, writing takes more time and it is not  11  to pick up the phone. The problem with phone calls is that they cannot   12   a long time, but a note is a good way of record and our words can be read   13 .
So, when you find some people around you need   14 , please write a note of encouragement to bring them more confidence. Maybe, you are not sure what will  15 , but remember Mr. John’s words—making others feel happy makes you happy, too.
