I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧場).He has let me use his ranch 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 ___ to have a house to live in. When he was in high school, he was asked to write a paper about ____ he wanted to be and do when he grew up. That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday ____ a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great ___ and he even drew a picture to show a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. 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." Roberts went to see the teacher and asked, "Why did I receive an F?" His teacher said, "This is a(an) ____ dream for a young boy like you. Having a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There's no way you could ever do it." Then the teacher added, "If you will rewrite this paper with a more possible goal, I will reconsider your ____."

The boy went home and thought about it for a ____ and hard time. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, "Look, son, you have to ____ your own mind on this." Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no ____ at all. He told his teacher,"You could keep the F and I will ____ keep my dream."

Monty tells me this story because I am sitting in his 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of his 200-acre horse ranch. He said kids' dreams can be stolen. Don't let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.

【題目】

German chancellor (總理)Angela Merkel may look like an ordinary woman. She dresses plainly and doesn’t show much emotion. But don’t let appearances fool you. As the first woman chancellor in Germany’s history, Merkel has topped Forbes magazine’s list of “The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women” six times. She has even been compared to Margaret Thatcher and many people call her “Iron Lady”. Merkel was born in Hamburg, West Germany, on July 17, 1954. As a small child, she quickly learned to speak but took longer to walk. “I was a stupid person when it came to moving,” Merkel said. “A normal person could do something naturally, but I had to think about it in my mind and practice.” As a teenager, she was the top student in high school. In 1973, Merkel went to the University of Leipzig, where she studied physics. At 32, she got her doctor’s degree in physics.

She worked for the government in 1989. In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994, her scientific background and strong will proved very useful. In 2005 she became Germany’s Chancellor. Through her political career, Merkel’s persistence (堅持) and patience helped a lot. “She is bright and open-minded,” said Hubert Markel, a German biologist, “She is the person who wants to know exactly what is going on, and how never giving up will influence our society and future.”
