I was said to be the worst student in my class and my family thought I was hopeless. When I was in grade six, a new teacher, Miss Sadia, came to our school.
One day after class, she noticed that I was staying alone during the lunch break. She came to me and began to talk to me. It was just a normal conversation. After that day, she gave me much attention and it made me feel special. I started to work hard because she gave me the feeling that someone believed me, and my grades started to improve in her subject.
Months later, she moved into a house near my home. We would walk home together after school. Her constant support helped me, especially in my studies, as I knew she would check my grades both in her subject and the other subjects. I finally came second in my class.
Then, after the sixth grade, she started to drift apart but still kept a check on me. By the time I was in the seventh grade, she hardly spoke to me, but by then I had become the best in my class. When I left school, I was out of touch with her as she never answered the phone when I called her.
Then I graduated and went to a good university. One fine day, our paths crossed again. I met her at a wedding. I could not help asking her, “Why did you stop talking to me？”
“You are a clever boy. I wanted you to be a tree standing on your own roots, not depending on others. Now here you are and I feel proud of you. You are your inspiration and do not need to look for a shoulder，” she said. I could not say anything, but I smiled. I'll always thank her.

With the recent discussion about the health benefits of fish oil and other wellness plans, it can make you feel less worried to know that one thing never changes: Exercise is good for your health. Any movement, even walking, brings about a host of cardiovascular (心血管的) effects that can help you live longer, feel better, and not run out of breath when chasing children or small animals.
The question of how much exercise is best, though, is open to discussion. The answer often depends on your goals. For heart health, sessions four to five times weekly might be perfect. For mental health As a newspaper reports, scientists believe there's a pretty specific prescription (处方): Exercising for 45 minutes three to five times a week.
Researchers at a university made the study. They examined 1.2 million subjects (实验对象) who filled out the Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance Survey at two-year intervals (间隔时间) between 2011 and 2015.
Subjects who didn't exercise at all had an average of three-and-a-half days per month when they felt mentally unwell—stressed, depressed, or suffering from emotional problems—while those who exercised regularly reported an average of just two days.
The study found that having three to five 45-minute sessions of exercise a week was best for reducing the reported problems of feeling stressed or depressed. Exercising for longer periods—some subjects reported more than 90 minutes in the gym—was connected with a drop-off in mental health benefits. Subjects who spent three hours at a time exercising actually reported an increase in depressive symptoms (症状).
Researchers also found that the kind of exercise undertaken made a difference. While all kinds of exercise helped, people who took part in team sports promoting social communication and gym classes like cycling described greater self-satisfaction with mental health.
Because the study included self-reported outcomes and exercise wasn't monitored, it's possible that the subjects could have misread the amount of exercise performed. The study, however, makes a convincing case for a popular opinion: If exercise were a pill, doctors everywhere would be prescribing it.
8. What is the decisive factor for a person's right amount of exercise
A．Personal career.
B．Personal interest.
C．Family background.
D．Personal goals.
9. What do the numbers in Paragraphs 4 and 5 show
A．The health benefits of exercise.
B．People's response to hard exercise.
C．How exercise influences one's mental health.
D．Why positive attitudes promote one's exercise.
10. Which of the following sports may bring people more pleasure
A．Tai chi. B．Climbing.
C．Volleyball. D．Diving.
11. What may be the reason for the disadvantage of the study
A．The researchers' preference.
B．The subjects' personal judgments.
C．The limited number of participants.
D．The failure to consider doctors' suggestions.
D
A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average, and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class. What made these average students change so much to become top students The only difference was the change in their teachers' attitude. Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students, they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.
Do you know why If you expect the best from people, they'll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you'll make him even worse. But treat a person like he's already a success, and you'll help make him the best he can be.”
Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, “Johnny, you're the naughtiest boy in this class. I'm sure you'll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class, she met with Johnny after school and said, “Johnny, I've heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don't believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that's the power of our belief and attitude towards children.
12. How did the professor started his research
A．By teaching the five children himself.
B．By asking the five children to find a new teacher.
C．By telling the five students to work harder than ever before.
D．By telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class.
13. What made the five average students become top students
A．The professor's study.
B．The teachers' hard work.
C．The change in the teachers' attitude.
D．The change in the professor's attitude.
14. Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny
A．To let us know how good his new teacher was.
B．To show the importance of encouragement.
C．To show that the boy was clever enough.
D．To let us know the famous boy.
15. What does the passage mainly tell us
A．If you want to get more, you should have new teachers.
B．A professor's study can help you score highest.
C．Only teachers can make you a top student.
D．Attitude and belief can change a person.

How to Handle Being the New Kid at School
Being the new kid at school can be a terrible experience! It might seem like everybody else knows exactly how to act. But remember you aren't alone. Actually, everybody is nervous on their first day and you can fit right in with the help of the following tips.
Plan ahead the night before. 16 Lay out your first-day outfit (全套服装), pack a lunch, and make sure you have all your school supplies ready to go. Planning ahead can help you get a good night's sleep and feel less nervous about your first day.
17 Make sure your clothes are cleaned and pressed and that you've showered, and brushed your teeth. If you're hoping to attract friends with similar interests, try wearing a shirt with your favourite show, musician, or sports team on it. 18
Do your best to stay calm and positive. It's normal to feel nervous and anxious when you're the new kid at school. If you feel nervous, start by taking some deep breaths. 19 You can listen to music that makes you feel calm and happy. Try imagining a good first day in your mind instead of keeping thinking about things that could go wrong.
20 Don't come in on the first day with your head hanging down, your shoulders lowered, and your eyes on the floor. Walk with your head held up, your back straight, and a bright expression on your face. Make eye contact with other people, and smile if they look at you or speak to you.
A．Choose clothes that make you feel great.
B．Use your body language to show confidence.
C．Introduce yourself to your teachers and classmates.
D．This can be an easy way to start a talk and break the ice a little.
E．You should keep talking and let people know that you are friendly.
F．Remember that everyone is the new kid at some point and that it's not a big deal.
G．You'll feel less worried if everything is ready before you wake up for your first day.

I have a friend named Monty Robert who owns a horse ranch (大农场).
The last time I was there, he introduced 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 (流动的) horse trainer who would go from stable (马厩) 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.”
He went on saying, “That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great details, 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 much 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 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 come from an itinerant family. You have no money or resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land, pay for the original breeding stock and later pay large stud (配种) fees. There's no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘Next week, if you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
The boy thought about it long hard at home, and asked his father what he should do. ______________________________________________________________________________

Monty then turned to me and said, “The boy in the story is me. _______________________

How to Handle Being the New Kid at School
Being the new kid at school can be a terrible experience! It might seem like everybody else knows exactly how to act. But remember you aren't alone. Actually, everybody is nervous on their first day and you can fit right in with the help of the following tips.
Plan ahead the night before. 16 Lay out your first-day outfit (全套服装), pack a lunch, and make sure you have all your school supplies ready to go. Planning ahead can help you get a good night's sleep and feel less nervous about your first day.
17 Make sure your clothes are cleaned and pressed and that you've showered, and brushed your teeth. If you're hoping to attract friends with similar interests, try wearing a shirt with your favourite show, musician, or sports team on it. 18
Do your best to stay calm and positive. It's normal to feel nervous and anxious when you're the new kid at school. If you feel nervous, start by taking some deep breaths. 19 You can listen to music that makes you feel calm and happy. Try imagining a good first day in your mind instead of keeping thinking about things that could go wrong.
20 Don't come in on the first day with your head hanging down, your shoulders lowered, and your eyes on the floor. Walk with your head held up, your back straight, and a bright expression on your face. Make eye contact with other people, and smile if they look at you or speak to you.

C．Introduce yourself to your teachers and classmates.

阅读材料，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。
I have a friend named Monty Robert who owns a horse ranch (大农场).
The last time I was there, he introduced 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 (流动的) horse trainer who would go from stable (马厩) 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.”
He went on saying, “That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great details, 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 much 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 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 come from an itinerant family. You have no money or resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land, pay for the original breeding stock and later pay large stud (配种) fees. There's no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘Next week, if you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
The boy thought about it long hard at home, and asked his father what he should do. ______________________________________________________________________________

I hope my suggestions will work well with you.

The boy thought about it long hard at home, and asked his father what he should do.With a frown appearing on the forehead, the father decided to let his son make up his own mind, thinking that it was an important decision for him. Not getting any advice from his father, he looked at the paper he wrote. Soon, he showed his father a determined look. After a week, he handed in the same paper, making no changes at all, and stated that the teacher could keep the F and he'd keep his dream.
Monty then turned to me and said, “The boy in the story is me.Now you are sitting in my horse ranch, and I still have that school paper.” He added proudly. The best part of the story was that two years ago the same teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on his ranch. When the teacher was leaving, he made him realise he had been the boy with the goal that he thought was unrealistic. Shamed, the teacher left. As Monty concluded at last, don't let anyone steal your dreams and just follow your heart.

I was said to be the worst student in my class and my family thought I was hopeless. When I was in grade six, a new teacher, Miss Sadia, came to our school.
One day after class, she noticed that I was staying alone during the lunch break. She came to me and began to talk to me. It was just a normal conversation. After that day, she gave me much attention and it made me feel special. I started to work hard because she gave me the feeling that someone believed me, and my grades started to improve in her subject.
Months later, she moved into a house near my home. We would walk home together after school. Her constant support helped me, especially in my studies, as I knew she would check my grades both in her subject and the other subjects. I finally came second in my class.
Then, after the sixth grade, she started to drift apart but still kept a check on me. By the time I was in the seventh grade, she hardly spoke to me, but by then I had become the best in my class. When I left school, I was out of touch with her as she never answered the phone when I called her.
Then I graduated and went to a good university. One fine day, our paths crossed again. I met her at a wedding. I could not help asking her, “Why did you stop talking to me？”
“You are a clever boy. I wanted you to be a tree standing on your own roots, not depending on others. Now here you are and I feel proud of you. You are your inspiration and do not need to look for a shoulder，” she said. I could not say anything, but I smiled. I'll always thank her.

With the recent discussion about the health benefits of fish oil and other wellness plans, it can make you feel less worried to know that one thing never changes: Exercise is good for your health. Any movement, even walking, brings about a host of cardiovascular (心血管的) effects that can help you live longer, feel better, and not run out of breath when chasing children or small animals.
The question of how much exercise is best, though, is open to discussion. The answer often depends on your goals. For heart health, sessions four to five times weekly might be perfect. For mental health As a newspaper reports, scientists believe there's a pretty specific prescription (处方): Exercising for 45 minutes three to five times a week.
Researchers at a university made the study. They examined 1.2 million subjects (实验对象) who filled out the Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance Survey at two-year intervals (间隔时间) between 2011 and 2015.
Subjects who didn't exercise at all had an average of three-and-a-half days per month when they felt mentally unwell—stressed, depressed, or suffering from emotional problems—while those who exercised regularly reported an average of just two days.
The study found that having three to five 45-minute sessions of exercise a week was best for reducing the reported problems of feeling stressed or depressed. Exercising for longer periods—some subjects reported more than 90 minutes in the gym—was connected with a drop-off in mental health benefits. Subjects who spent three hours at a time exercising actually reported an increase in depressive symptoms (症状).
Researchers also found that the kind of exercise undertaken made a difference. While all kinds of exercise helped, people who took part in team sports promoting social communication and gym classes like cycling described greater self-satisfaction with mental health.
Because the study included self-reported outcomes and exercise wasn't monitored, it's possible that the subjects could have misread the amount of exercise performed. The study, however, makes a convincing case for a popular opinion: If exercise were a pill, doctors everywhere would be prescribing it.
8. What is the decisive factor for a person's right amount of exercise
A．Personal career.
B．Personal interest.
C．Family background.
D．Personal goals.
9. What do the numbers in Paragraphs 4 and 5 show
A．The health benefits of exercise.
B．People's response to hard exercise.
C．How exercise influences one's mental health.
D．Why positive attitudes promote one's exercise.
10. Which of the following sports may bring people more pleasure
A．Tai chi. B．Climbing.
C．Volleyball. D．Diving.
11. What may be the reason for the disadvantage of the study
A．The researchers' preference.
B．The subjects' personal judgments.
C．The limited number of participants.
D．The failure to consider doctors' suggestions.
D
A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average, and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class. What made these average students change so much to become top students The only difference was the change in their teachers' attitude. Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students, they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.
Do you know why If you expect the best from people, they'll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you'll make him even worse. But treat a person like he's already a success, and you'll help make him the best he can be.”
Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, “Johnny, you're the naughtiest boy in this class. I'm sure you'll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class, she met with Johnny after school and said, “Johnny, I've heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don't believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that's the power of our belief and attitude towards children.
12. How did the professor started his research
A．By teaching the five children himself.
B．By asking the five children to find a new teacher.
C．By telling the five students to work harder than ever before.
D．By telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class.
13. What made the five average students become top students
A．The professor's study.
B．The teachers' hard work.
C．The change in the teachers' attitude.
D．The change in the professor's attitude.
14. Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny
A．To let us know how good his new teacher was.
B．To show the importance of encouragement.
C．To show that the boy was clever enough.
D．To let us know the famous boy.
15. What does the passage mainly tell us
A．If you want to get more, you should have new teachers.
B．A professor's study can help you score highest.
C．Only teachers can make you a top student.
D．Attitude and belief can change a person.

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 much 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 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 come from an itinerant family. You have no money or resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land, pay for the original breeding stock and later pay large stud (配种) fees. There's no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘Next week, if you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’”

I was said to be the worst student in my class and my family thought I was hopeless. When I was in grade six, a new teacher, Miss Sadia, came to our school.
One day after class, she noticed that I was staying alone during the lunch break. She came to me and began to talk to me. It was just a normal conversation. After that day, she gave me much attention and it made me feel special. I started to work hard because she gave me the feeling that someone believed me, and my grades started to improve in her subject.
Months later, she moved into a house near my home. We would walk home together after school. Her constant support helped me, especially in my studies, as I knew she would check my grades both in her subject and the other subjects. I finally came second in my class.
Then, after the sixth grade, she started to drift apart but still kept a check on me. By the time I was in the seventh grade, she hardly spoke to me, but by then I had become the best in my class. When I left school, I was out of touch with her as she never answered the phone when I called her.
Then I graduated and went to a good university. One fine day, our paths crossed again. I met her at a wedding. I could not help asking her, “Why did you stop talking to me？”
“You are a clever boy. I wanted you to be a tree standing on your own roots, not depending on others. Now here you are and I feel proud of you. You are your inspiration and do not need to look for a shoulder，” she said. I could not say anything, but I smiled. I'll always thank her.

With the recent discussion about the health benefits of fish oil and other wellness plans, it can make you feel less worried to know that one thing never changes: Exercise is good for your health. Any movement, even walking, brings about a host of cardiovascular (心血管的) effects that can help you live longer, feel better, and not run out of breath when chasing children or small animals.
The question of how much exercise is best, though, is open to discussion. The answer often depends on your goals. For heart health, sessions four to five times weekly might be perfect. For mental health As a newspaper reports, scientists believe there's a pretty specific prescription (处方): Exercising for 45 minutes three to five times a week.
Researchers at a university made the study. They examined 1.2 million subjects (实验对象) who filled out the Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance Survey at two-year intervals (间隔时间) between 2011 and 2015.
Subjects who didn't exercise at all had an average of three-and-a-half days per month when they felt mentally unwell—stressed, depressed, or suffering from emotional problems—while those who exercised regularly reported an average of just two days.
The study found that having three to five 45-minute sessions of exercise a week was best for reducing the reported problems of feeling stressed or depressed. Exercising for longer periods—some subjects reported more than 90 minutes in the gym—was connected with a drop-off in mental health benefits. Subjects who spent three hours at a time exercising actually reported an increase in depressive symptoms (症状).
Researchers also found that the kind of exercise undertaken made a difference. While all kinds of exercise helped, people who took part in team sports promoting social communication and gym classes like cycling described greater self-satisfaction with mental health.
Because the study included self-reported outcomes and exercise wasn't monitored, it's possible that the subjects could have misread the amount of exercise performed. The study, however, makes a convincing case for a popular opinion: If exercise were a pill, doctors everywhere would be prescribing it.
【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了有一件事永远不会改变——锻炼对你的健康有益。然而，一个人的最佳运动量往往取决于他的目标。
8. What is the decisive factor for a person's right amount of exercise

B．Personal interest.

10. Which of the following sports may bring people more pleasure
A．Tai chi. B．Climbing.
C．Volleyball. D．Diving.
C 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“While all kinds of exercise helped, people who took part in team sports promoting social communication and gym classes like cycling described greater self-satisfaction with mental health.”并结合各个选项的运动项目可推知，排球这项运动能给人们带来更多的乐趣。故选C。
11. What may be the reason for the disadvantage of the study

B．The subjects' personal judgments.
C．The limited number of participants.

A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average, and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class. What made these average students change so much to become top students The only difference was the change in their teachers' attitude. Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students, they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.
Do you know why If you expect the best from people, they'll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you'll make him even worse. But treat a person like he's already a success, and you'll help make him the best he can be.”
Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, “Johnny, you're the naughtiest boy in this class. I'm sure you'll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class, she met with Johnny after school and said, “Johnny, I've heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don't believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that's the power of our belief and attitude towards children.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过举例论述了鼓励的重要性，态度和信任可以改变一个人。
12. How did the professor started his research
A．By teaching the five children himself.
B．By asking the five children to find a new teacher.
C．By telling the five students to work harder than ever before.
D．By telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class.

How to Handle Being the New Kid at School
Being the new kid at school can be a terrible experience! It might seem like everybody else knows exactly how to act. But remember you aren't alone. Actually, everybody is nervous on their first day and you can fit right in with the help of the following tips.
Plan ahead the night before. 16 Lay out your first-day outfit (全套服装), pack a lunch, and make sure you have all your school supplies ready to go. Planning ahead can help you get a good night's sleep and feel less nervous about your first day.
17 Make sure your clothes are cleaned and pressed and that you've showered, and brushed your teeth. If you're hoping to attract friends with similar interests, try wearing a shirt with your favourite show, musician, or sports team on it. 18
Do your best to stay calm and positive. It's normal to feel nervous and anxious when you're the new kid at school. If you feel nervous, start by taking some deep breaths. 19 You can listen to music that makes you feel calm and happy. Try imagining a good first day in your mind instead of keeping thinking about things that could go wrong.
20 Don't come in on the first day with your head hanging down, your shoulders lowered, and your eyes on the floor. Walk with your head held up, your back straight, and a bright expression on your face. Make eye contact with other people, and smile if they look at you or speak to you.

阅读材料，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。
I have a friend named Monty Robert who owns a horse ranch (大农场).
The last time I was there, he introduced 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 (流动的) horse trainer who would go from stable (马厩) 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.”
He went on saying, “That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great details, 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 much 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 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 come from an itinerant family. You have no money or resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land, pay for the original breeding stock and later pay large stud (配种) fees. There's no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘Next week, if you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’”

第二节 读后续写
The boy thought about it long hard at home, and asked his father what he should do.With a frown appearing on the forehead, the father decided to let his son make up his own mind, thinking that it was an important decision for him. Not getting any advice from his father, he looked at the paper he wrote. Soon, he showed his father a determined look. After a week, he handed in the same paper, making no changes at all, and stated that the teacher could keep the F and he'd keep his dream.
Monty then turned to me and said, “The boy in the story is me.Now you are sitting in my horse ranch, and I still have that school paper.” He added proudly. The best part of the story was that two years ago the same teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on his ranch. When the teacher was leaving, he made him realise he had been the boy with the goal that he thought was unrealistic. Shamed, the teacher left. As Monty concluded at last, don't let anyone steal your dreams and just follow your heart.
