【題目】Monty was the son of a horse trainer. When he was in his ninth grade, he was asked to write a _____ about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

That night he wrote a seven-page paper saying that someday he’d ____ a horse ranch (牧場). He wrote about his dream in great detail and he ___ drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch with all the buildings.

He put a great deal of his ____ 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” ___ a note that read, “See me after class.”

The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, “Why did I receive an ‘F’?”

You have to pay for other things. There is no ___ you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “___ you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I’ll reconsider your grade.”
