Keep your dream!
Monty Roberts keeps a big horse ranch (牧场) in San Isidro.
He is the son of a horse trainer. His father often 31 horses in different ranches and his family had to move from one ranch to another. As a result, Roberts sometimes couldn't go to school as usual and his high school learning was interrupted (中断).
When he was a senior (高中生), he was asked to write a 32 about what he wanted to do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven-page paper. In his paper, he described his goal (目标) of having a horse ranch someday. He wrote about his 33 in detail and he even drew a diagram (示意图) of a 200-acre (英亩) ranch. He put his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his 34 . Two days later, he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a 35 that read, "See me after class."
The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, "Why did I get an F?"
The teacher said, "This is an unrealistic (不切实际的) dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a poor family. Having a horse ranch needs a lot of money. There's no 36 you could ever do it." Then the teacher added, "If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will think about your grade carefully."
Roberts went home and thought about it long and hard. He 37 his father what he should do. His father said, "Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you." Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy handed in the same paper, making no 38 at all. He stated (声明), "You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream. "
Monty Roberts finally built his 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of his 200-acre horse ranch.
Two summers ago, the same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to 39 on Roberts' ranch for a week. Kids learned a lot about animals. When the teacher was leaving, he said, "Look, Monty, when I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer (偷窃者). During those years, I stole many kids' dreams. 40 , you were brave enough not to give up on yours."
31. A. rode B. bought C. trained D. fed
32. A. paper B. book C. list D. letter
33. A. health B. dream C. interest D. model
34. A. father B. friend C. classmate D. teacher
35. A. word B. note C. mark D. gift
36. A. way B. need C. difference D. place
37. A. told B. showed C. asked D. promised
38. A. money B. mistakes C. excuses D. changes

A girl who loves animals
When Abbi Hickman was just a little girl, she made friends with many animals. Chickens, cats, dogs, rabbits, and sometimes goats were just some of the animals she cared for. At the age of nine, Abbi went to the Tracy Animal Center to adopt (收养) Sheldon, her cat. In the center, she saw that the animals did not have enough food and they lived in poor conditions. Abbi knew that she must do something to help those animals.
For the last three years, she has held different activities to collect money for the Tracy Animal Center. She has collected more than $ 30,000 resulting in a better home for the animals.
"The center gets the money and pays for the vet (兽医) care and food. It's nicer and they have more space. It's cleaner. It is far better, a hundred percent better," Abbi says.
To show Abbi has done something excellent to protect animals, she was named the 2015 ASPCA(美国防止虐待动物协会) Kid of the Year.
"I was pretty excited. I'm really happy to receive it," she says.
Offering time and effort to help animals can sometimes be difficult, but Abbi hopes to do more. "I just hope that more people can come and join us. If more people can give money to the program, we can help more animals. I really hope people are kinder to animals and respect them more," says Abbi. She is also working on "welcome home boxes" for the Tracy Animal Center. These boxes of pet supplies (宠物用品) would go home with everyone adopting a dog or cat at the center.
The advice she has for kids like her is, "Nothing is impossible. You can do anything if you put your mind to it. Even if it is something small, it can make a huge difference. " Abbi's work has made the lives of animals better, and she plans to keep coming up with new ways to help them.
45. What did Abbi do when she was nine years old?
A. She adopted a cat. B. She held activities.
C. She learned vet care. D. She collected money.
46. Why was Abbi named the 2015 ASPCA Kid of the Year?
A. Because she did well at school.
B. Because she built the animal center.
C. Because she helped protect animals.
D. Because she taught kids how to care for animals.
47. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The success Abbi has made. B. The better lives Abbi has had.
C. The advice Abbi gave for kids. D. The new plan Abbi has thought up.
C
I love the summer! There is nothing better than having a break from studying. During the summer I might work a bit, I will read a lot, and I will definitely try to travel. There are many places in the world to explore (探索), many beaches to relax on and many sights to see. However, it is difficult to go vacation. There is so much to think about, such as time, cost, transport (交通) etc. That is why this year I will treat myself to a staycation. But what exactly is staycation?
As you can probably guess, the word 'stayeation' mixes the verb 'stay' and the noun 'vacation'. It means a holiday you spend in your hometown or your home country. If you take staycation, you usually spend a few days in a different part of the country or going to places close to where you live. For example, when I am on my stayeation here in the UK, I will visit the southwest area. Although I live here, there are still so many wonderful places I am yet to discover. There is so much of the history, so many museums, great places to find food, beautiful sights and many summer activities!
The staycation is popular because it has some good points. Normally, it is cheaper than a vacation as you do not need to stay in hotels, fly or even travel very far. This is great as most of the time people go on holiday with their parents, other family members or friends. Secondly, it is a great way of discovering new places right under your nose! Thirdly, the more people who take staycation in their home country, the more tourism there will be. In this way, local people can earn more money and get more job chances.
So next time you think of amazing places you want to visit, start by thinking of what is on your own doorstep. You will be pleasantly surprised!
48. Which of the following can be a staycation?
A. People travel to a wild place.
B. People work hard to pay for the trip.
C. People take their vacation in other countries.
D. People spend their vacation in their hometown.
49. What will the writer probably do this summer in the UK?
A. Do a part-time job. B. Learn to cook food.
C. Discover wonderful places. D. Visit his/ her family members.
50. The writer writes the passage to ____________.
A. advise people to try a staycation
B. tell people where to take a wonderful vacation
C. explain the differences between vacation and staycation
D. show the fact that the staycation is better than the vacation

Dear Berry,
Doing sports has become very popular in China. My favorite sport is riding a bike. Last year I put on too much weight and I always felt sleepy and tired in class. My mum advised me to do more exercise and bought me a bike. Since then, it has become part of my life. I ride my bike to and from school every day.

10. W: Hi, everyone. In today's lesson, we will talk about Winston Churchill. Winston Churchill was born in 1874. In his school days, he was not a bright student, and he had never received any prizes. His father was very dissatisfied with him, but his mother believed that the boy was not stupid and he would make a name for himself someday. When he was in high school, he read much in his free time. At the same time, he began writing for newspapers and magazines. Winston was good at using words. Later on, he became one of the greatest leaders in Britain. Although he had a busy life as a leader, he knew how to enjoy life. He found time to paint. He used "Mr. Winter" as his pen name. The paintings were so good that people wanted to know who "Mr. Winter" was. It was only a few years later that people knew the truth. In his late years, Winston Churchill spent much time writing his story about his life as a leader. The books were read by many people all over the world.
11. M: Hello, this is Antony from City Bike Shop. You asked us to get a bike from Holland for you. Well, it is going to arrive on Monday, but I have to check it, so you can come and get it on Wednesday. I know you wanted a red one, but they haven't got any in that colour. Sorry! So they're sending a yellow one instead. Hope that is OK? I'm sure you'll love it.
You will be pleased because this bike is a bit cheaper. It was one hundred and eighty-five pounds, but now it is only one hundred and twenty pounds. It is a good price for this kind of bike.
Remember, don't come to the shop at thirty-three North Street. We are a hundred meters down the road at number eighty-seven, opposite the bank. We only repair bikes at number thirty-three.
Please do not come at lunchtime if possible. We are very busy then. We are open every day until five p.m. And I'm here every morning from eight thirty.
Well, that is all, I think.
