Cloze1(2015广东珠海一模)

      I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch. The last time I was there he told me his story.

      It all went back to a story about a young man who was the 1       of a poor horse trainer who would go from farm to farm training horses.As a result the boy^ high school education was continually 2       .

      When he was a senior he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

     That night he wrote a sevenpage paper describing his 3        of someday owning a horse ranch.He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a 200-acre ( 英亩 ) ranch showing the location (位置) of all the buildings.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 4        “ See me after class.

     The boy went to see the teacher 5        class and asked ‘‘ Why did I receive an ‘ FThe teacher said ‘‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things.There’s 6       way you could ever do it." Then the teacher added u If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal I will reconsider your grade.

     The boy went home and thought about it for a long and 7        time.He asked his father what he should do.The horse trainer said “Look son.I think it is a very 8        decision of your own." Finally after a week the boy 9       in the same paper making no changes at all.He stated “ You could keep the ‘ F’ and I'll keep my dream."

     Monty then said to me u I tell you this story because you are sitting in his 4 000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school 10        hung on the middle of the wall over the fireplace."
