The last time I was there he told me his story.When he was young, his family is too poor to have a house to live in. One day when he was in a high school, 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 owning 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 teacher. 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?” His teacher said, “This is an unrealistic (不现实的) dream for a young boy like you. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.” Then the teacher added, “ If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider (重新考虑) your grade.”The boy went home and thought about it for a long and hard time. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to change your own mind on this.” Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy handed in the same paper, making no changes at all. He told his teacher “You can keep the F and I sill keep my dream.”Monty said a lot of kids dreams can be stolen. Dont let anyone steal your dream. Follow your heart, no matter what others think. Have enough gumption (毅力) till your dream comes true.69 . Who owns a horse ranch? _70 . What was the boys dream? _71 . When did he hand in his seven-page paper to his teacher? _72 .
