Monty Robert’s father was a horse trainer. As a child, Monty often went from one farm to  21  with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to   22  food, but Monty still kept hoping to own a   23  farm.
When he was in school, his teacher asked him to write a paper   24  what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. He wrote a seven-page paper   25  his dream of having a horse farm one day. He   26  drew a picture of a horse farm in the paper.
The next day he handed   27  in to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with some words “See me after class.”   28  the boy did and asked his teacher, “Why did I get an F?” The teacher said, “This dream will not   29   for a young boy like you.   30  a horse farm needs a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you write this paper again with a   31  dream, I will give you a good grade.”
After school he thought about it   32 . At last, he decided to hand in the same paper, making   33  changes at all. He wrote, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my   34 .”
Many years later, Monty had his own 200 acres horse farm. His dream came true.
So don’t let   35  take away your dreams. Follow your dreams, no matter what they are.

There are many different kinds of cars in the world. My aunt thinks this is because cars are ____1­  their drivers. She says, “Rich people have expensive cars, big people have large cars, and old people drive old cars.” But I don't 2 her.

　　My neighbour, Mrs. Hill, is 82 years old. She drives only on Tuesday, and she drives only to the bank. She 3   drives more than 30 kilometres an hour. Do you think Mrs. Hill has a very   ­­­­­___4   and small car? No, her car is new. It's very large, and it _5  go 200 kilometres for each hour!

My friend is 6  . He draws beautiful pictures with lots of colours. But his car is black! Mrs. Bates has a very, very old one. There is often something 7 with the car. Does she drive that kind of car because she is poor? No, she has four factories and 8   dollars in the bank. My aunt Mary has a very 9 car, though she drives to the country with her husband, her two children, her mother and their dog.
