I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(牧马场).He has let me use his 36 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 37 to have a house to live in.As a 38 , when he was in high school, he was asked to write a paper about 39 he wanted to be and do when he grew up.That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of 40 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 41 .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?” He teacher said, “This is a(an) 42 dream for a young boy like you.Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.” Then the teacher added, “If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your 43 .”
The boy went home and thought about it for a 44 and hard time.He asked his father what he should do.His father said, “Look, son, you have to 45 your own mind on this.Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no 46 at all.He told his teacher “you could keep the F and I 47 keep my dream.
Monty tell me this 48 because I am sitting in his 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch.He said a lot of kids’s 49 can be stole.Don't let anyone steal your dreams.Follow your heart, no matter what. 50 he had enough gumption(毅力) not to give up my dream.

"The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence." That's an old in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place you live. Some people worry young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and, instead, Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.
Foreign books and soap operas are good, Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: friendliness. Not all countries are as as China.
It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn them, but they cannot replace your own culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.
