I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(養(yǎng)馬場(chǎng)). He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events. The last time I was there he introduced me by saying: “I want to tell you a story. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. 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 seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.

“He put a great deal of his heart into the project and 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.’

“The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive an F?’ The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’

“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’ Finally, after a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’ ”

Monty then turned to the group present and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two years ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, ‘Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough courage not to give up yours.’ ”

“Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what,” Monty at last concluded.

1.The teacher asked the boy to rewrite the paper because __________.

A. the boy was too poor to achieve his dream

B. the teacher doubted his chance of success

C. the boy was not good enough to achieve his goal

D. the teacher looked down on the boy absolutely

2.Which of the following could best express the teacher’s feelings when she said the words before leaving the ranch two years ago?

A. Regretful and proud. B. Regretful and guilty.

C. Honest and sorry. D. Embarrassed and proud.

3.From the passage we can conclude that __________.

A. the boy was an unrealistic person

B. the boy’s father was irresponsible for his education

C. the boy had great courage and determination

D. the teacher often found fault with his students

4.What would be the best title of the passage?

A. Set a practical goal

B. Try to be realistic

C. Prove yourself through success

D. Keep your dream

I am a vegetarian（素食主義者）. Many people are quick to think of vegetarianism as strange behavior. I treasure our Earth, and since we only have one, we should protect it and the wildlife that lives on it. But that’s only one of the reasons to be a vegetarian.

Vegetarians may live longer, healthier lives. There is a connection between red meat consumption and various diseases. From an economic standpoint, it requires less land, money and energy to produce foods for a vegetarian diet. While there are many benefits to being a vegetarian, only a handful of those who attempt to adopt this lifestyle succeed.

The most important quality required to be a vegetarian is firmness since surrounded by the temptation of meat, we tend to give up vegetarianism easily. Creativity is almost as important as commitment. It’s easy to tire of eating nothing but salad. But with a little creativity and some soy products, almost any meal can become vegetarian-friendly.

Not everyone wants to be vegetarian. Accepting this is part of being a vegetarian with style. Forcing your beliefs on others is disrespectful. Stylish vegetarians should also be able to turn down a meaty dish politely without annoying their hosts.

Being a successful vegetarian has been easy for me, but it may not be so for others. A common mistake is quitting before your body has adjusted to the change. It can be difficult to keep the lifestyle in the beginning because of temptation. However, it fades over time. Another common mistake is quitting because you’ve been misinformed about the nutritional wisdom of being a vegetarian. That’s why it is vital to be educated. Countless people will tell you that it’s impossible to obtain the nutrients and protein（蛋白質(zhì)）your body requires without meat, but they are incorrect. People actually need only 44-55 grams of protein a day, and that is easily found in a vegetarian diet. Many meat eaters are consuming three times that amount, which is not beneficial. It leads to diseases. Vegetables can also supply all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients your body needs. However, if you’re still not convinced, you can take a multi-vitamin.

1.According to the passage, being a vegetarian helps ______.

A. protect the wildlife

B. free people from diseases

C. rid people from strange behaviors

D. develop a better economy

2.What’s the underlined word temptation in Paragraph 3 closest in meaning to?

A. Unpleasant taste B. Extreme attraction

C. Great consumption D. Significant importance

3.Stylish vegetarians do not ______.

A. force others to be vegetarians

B. respect other people’s beliefs

C. turn down hosts gracefully

D. refuse an offer of meat

4.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Many people give up before their bodies can adjust to the transition.

B. Many people quit because they’re poorly educated about nutrition.

C. Consuming 150 grams protein a day can be harmful.

D. Vegetarians need multi-vitamins to keep healthy.

5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Reasons why the author became a vegetarian.

B. Important qualities required to be a vegetarian.

C. Advantages and disadvantages of being a vegetarian.

D. Common mistakes on the way to being a vegetarian.
