The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world's best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome's Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city's Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations—not to mention the modern sports fan's desire for a good view and a comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities(容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang, D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1, 1989.
Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October1, 1927.
Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U.S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U.S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7, 1922.
Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U.S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.
1.How many people could the Circus Maximus hold
A.104,944. B. 107,601. C. About 150,000. D. About 250,000.
2.Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest
A. Michigan Stadium. B. Beaver Stadium.
C. Ohio Stadium. D. Kyle Field.
3.What do the listed stadiums have in common
A.They host big games. B.They have become tourist attractions.
C.They were built by Americans. D.They are favored by architects.
B
There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn't treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness Is life fair Should life be fair
We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society-it's largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.
Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint.
I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the severity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don't create fairness, but people's desire and determination can work around most life challenges.
It doesn't matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of at echnology services firm. Stories such as this are all around us-they are not miracles, no rare they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.
1.What does the underlined word “abound” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Change fully. B.Remain the same.
C.Exist in numbers. D. Disappear completely.
2.What opinion does the writer agree with
A. Most of us can influence the results we achieve.
B. Our background determines our choices.
C. People's desire and determination create unfairness.
D. We should depend on fairness to solve all problems.
3.What is the primary purpose of the text
A. To promote efforts over complaint.
B. To stress the importance of fairness.
C. To share an inspiring story of a friend.
D. To prove that fairness is a state of mind.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Fairness Is Justice B. Life Is Not Fair—Deal With It
C.Fairness Comes First D.Fairness Creates Chances
C
On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southern Kenya. His calmness makes it easy to forget that he's tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti, who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.
Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints (爪印) of a lion from those of other animals.
Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals. For many Maasai, tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection. But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them. He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path, searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.
Each year, thousands of tourists crowd Kenya's national parks to try to have a look at the "big five"; elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions. The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nation's economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenya's wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.
Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专有地) for animals. But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas. They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.
1.How did Kasaine track lions
A.By working together with tourists. B.By running after them all the time.
C.By going to school every day. D.By studying their paw prints.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A.Maasai people are born animal lovers.
B.Tourism is a big threat to Kenya's wildlife.
C.Kenya benefits a lot from its wildlife protection.
D.Small animals are not included in their protection policy.
3.What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to
A.Kenya's economic development.
B.People's leaving their original homes.
C.Kenya's second-largest income source.
D.Kenyan people's traditional Maasai lifestyle.
4.What is the best title for the text
A.Wildlife Protection in Kenya B.Meeting a Dangerous Animal
C.Wilson Kasaine's Wise Choice D.Learning to Live with Lions
D
According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份), it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.
To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly(表面上) participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.
Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.
For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.
The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the "I'll have what she's having" effect. However, we'll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I'll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I'll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I
1.What is the recent study mainly about
A.Food safety. B.Movie viewership.
C.Consumer demand. D.Eating behavior.
2.What does the underlined word "beanpoles" in Paragraph 1 refer to
A.Big eaters. B.Overweight persons.
C.Picky eaters. D.Tall thin persons.
3.Why did the researchers hire the actor
A.To see how she would affect the participants.
B.To test if the participants could recognize her.
C.To find out what she would do in the two tests.
D.To study why she could keep her weight down.
4.On what basis do we "adjust the influence" according to the last paragraph
A.How hungry we are. B.How slim we want to be.
C.How we perceive others. D.How we feel about the food.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Helping the environment and protecting our resources are very important activities. ①______ There are several ways that you can help protect this planet we call home.
Use reusable bags. Plastic bags that get thrown out end up in landfills or in other parts of the environment. ②______ Also, it takes decades for the bags to decompose(分解). There-fore, whether you are shopping for food, clothes or books, use a reusable bag. This cuts down on litter and prevents animals from getting hold of them.
③______ Instead of buying individually packaged drinks, consider buying a reusable water bottle. Not only will this help protect the environment, but it will also help you save money. A lot of coffee shops, Starbucks, for example, even offer a discount to customers who use a reusable container for their drinks.
Save electricity. Use energy-efficient light bulbs(灯泡)instead of regular bulbs. ④______ What’s more, make sure you turn off lights, the TV, and other devices when you are not using them. Turn off your air conditioning or heat when it’s not necessary. This is especially true as the seasons change. Open your windows in the early fall or put on more clothes in the early winter.
Save water. More water is wasted than we realize. Turn off the water tap when you are brushing your teeth. Don’t turn your shower on until you’re ready to get in and wash your hair. Limit your water usage as you wash dishes. ⑤______
A. Use reusable drink containers.
B. Use the air conditioning less often.
C. And students without doubt can make a difference.
D. They last longer, which will save you a bit of money.
E. Everyone should take measures to fight against the water pollution.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(养马场). He has let me use his house to put on fundraising events. The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell you a story. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant 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 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. 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 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 with the dream went to see that 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.
Paragraph 1:
The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Monty then turned to the group and said,

答案：①has/will have; ②the ; ③that/which; ④cycling ;⑤easily ; ⑥to; ⑦improved ; ⑧to wear; ⑨connection/connections; ⑩traditional
解析：①考查时态。从句谓语wears用的一般现在时,所以主句也用现在时,故填has;也可以将来的行为,需用一般将来时,也可填will have。
②考查冠词。the same相同的,是固定短语,故填the。
③考查定语从句。先行词是cloth,在定语从句中做主语,并且指代物,故填that/which。
④考查动词。设空处与 walking并列,与are 连用构成现在进行时,故填cycling。
⑤考查副词。设空处修饰动词see,所以用副词,故填easily。
⑥考查介词。the answer to…,…的答案,固定短语,故填to。
⑦考查时态。根据句中 found和 introduced可知,指的是过去的事情,故填improved。
⑧考查非谓语动词。want后要跟不定式作宾语,故填to wear。
⑨考查名词。no后可以跟名词单数形式也可以跟名词复数形式,故填connection/connections。

答案：
Paragraph 1:
The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father for advice. His father said, "Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this very important decision." Finally, the boy handed in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, "You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream".
Paragraph 2:
Monty then turned to the 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." He added. "The best part of the story is that two years ago that same teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said. "Look, Monty, when I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. Fortunately you had enough courage not to give up yours." "So don't let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what it is," Monty at last concluded.

The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world's best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome's Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city's Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations—not to mention the modern sports fan's desire for a good view and a comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities(容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang, D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1, 1989.
Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October1, 1927.
Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U.S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U.S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7, 1922.
Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U.S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.
1.How many people could the Circus Maximus hold
A.104,944. B. 107,601. C. About 150,000. D. About 250,000.
2.Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest
A. Michigan Stadium. B. Beaver Stadium.
C. Ohio Stadium. D. Kyle Field.
3.What do the listed stadiums have in common
A.They host big games. B.They have become tourist attractions.
C.They were built by Americans. D.They are favored by architects.

There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn't treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness Is life fair Should life be fair
We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society-it's largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.
Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint.
I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the severity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don't create fairness, but people's desire and determination can work around most life challenges.
It doesn't matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of at echnology services firm. Stories such as this are all around us-they are not miracles, no rare they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.
1.What does the underlined word “abound” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Change fully. B.Remain the same.
C.Exist in numbers. D. Disappear completely.
2.What opinion does the writer agree with
A. Most of us can influence the results we achieve.
B. Our background determines our choices.
C. People's desire and determination create unfairness.
D. We should depend on fairness to solve all problems.
3.What is the primary purpose of the text
A. To promote efforts over complaint.
B. To stress the importance of fairness.
C. To share an inspiring story of a friend.
D. To prove that fairness is a state of mind.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Fairness Is Justice B. Life Is Not Fair—Deal With It
C.Fairness Comes First D.Fairness Creates Chances
C
On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southern Kenya. His calmness makes it easy to forget that he's tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti, who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.
Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints (爪印) of a lion from those of other animals.
Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals. For many Maasai, tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection. But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them. He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path, searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.
Each year, thousands of tourists crowd Kenya's national parks to try to have a look at the "big five"; elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions. The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nation's economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenya's wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.
Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专有地) for animals. But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas. They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.
1.How did Kasaine track lions
A.By working together with tourists. B.By running after them all the time.
C.By going to school every day. D.By studying their paw prints.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A.Maasai people are born animal lovers.
B.Tourism is a big threat to Kenya's wildlife.
C.Kenya benefits a lot from its wildlife protection.
D.Small animals are not included in their protection policy.
3.What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to
A.Kenya's economic development.
B.People's leaving their original homes.
C.Kenya's second-largest income source.
D.Kenyan people's traditional Maasai lifestyle.
4.What is the best title for the text
A.Wildlife Protection in Kenya B.Meeting a Dangerous Animal
C.Wilson Kasaine's Wise Choice D.Learning to Live with Lions

According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份), it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.
To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly(表面上) participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.
Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.
For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.
The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the "I'll have what she's having" effect. However, we'll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I'll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I'll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I
1.What is the recent study mainly about
A.Food safety. B.Movie viewership.
C.Consumer demand. D.Eating behavior.
2.What does the underlined word "beanpoles" in Paragraph 1 refer to
A.Big eaters. B.Overweight persons.
C.Picky eaters. D.Tall thin persons.
3.Why did the researchers hire the actor
A.To see how she would affect the participants.
B.To test if the participants could recognize her.
C.To find out what she would do in the two tests.
D.To study why she could keep her weight down.
4.On what basis do we "adjust the influence" according to the last paragraph
A.How hungry we are. B.How slim we want to be.
C.How we perceive others. D.How we feel about the food.

Helping the environment and protecting our resources are very important activities. ①______ There are several ways that you can help protect this planet we call home.
Use reusable bags. Plastic bags that get thrown out end up in landfills or in other parts of the environment. ②______ Also, it takes decades for the bags to decompose(分解). There-fore, whether you are shopping for food, clothes or books, use a reusable bag. This cuts down on litter and prevents animals from getting hold of them.
③______ Instead of buying individually packaged drinks, consider buying a reusable water bottle. Not only will this help protect the environment, but it will also help you save money. A lot of coffee shops, Starbucks, for example, even offer a discount to customers who use a reusable container for their drinks.
Save electricity. Use energy-efficient light bulbs(灯泡)instead of regular bulbs. ④______ What’s more, make sure you turn off lights, the TV, and other devices when you are not using them. Turn off your air conditioning or heat when it’s not necessary. This is especially true as the seasons change. Open your windows in the early fall or put on more clothes in the early winter.
Save water. More water is wasted than we realize. Turn off the water tap when you are brushing your teeth. Don’t turn your shower on until you’re ready to get in and wash your hair. Limit your water usage as you wash dishes. ⑤______
A. Use reusable drink containers.
B. Use the air conditioning less often.
C. And students without doubt can make a difference.
D. They last longer, which will save you a bit of money.
E. Everyone should take measures to fight against the water pollution.

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(养马场). He has let me use his house to put on fundraising events. The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell you a story. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant 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 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. 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 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 with the dream went to see that 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 thought about it long and hard. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

第二节
答案：①has/will have; ②the ; ③that/which; ④cycling ;⑤easily ; ⑥to; ⑦improved ; ⑧to wear; ⑨connection/connections; ⑩traditional
解析：①考查时态。从句谓语wears用的一般现在时,所以主句也用现在时,故填has;也可以将来的行为,需用一般将来时,也可填will have。
②考查冠词。the same相同的,是固定短语,故填the。
③考查定语从句。先行词是cloth,在定语从句中做主语,并且指代物,故填that/which。
④考查动词。设空处与 walking并列,与are 连用构成现在进行时,故填cycling。
⑤考查副词。设空处修饰动词see,所以用副词,故填easily。
⑥考查介词。the answer to…,…的答案,固定短语,故填to。

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father for advice. His father said, "Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this very important decision." Finally, the boy handed in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, "You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream".
Paragraph 2:
Monty then turned to the 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." He added. "The best part of the story is that two years ago that same teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said. "Look, Monty, when I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. Fortunately you had enough courage not to give up yours." "So don't let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what it is," Monty at last concluded.
