    Monty was a high school boy from a poor family. One day his teacher asked the students to write a paper about what they wanted to be when they 1 .That night Monty wrote a seven-page paper describing his dream 2 having a horse ranch (马场).

    Two days later he got his paper back. There was an "E" on it. After class，the boy went to the teacher's office and asked, 3did I get an 'E'?" The teacher said, "This dream is too unrealistic (不切实际的), 4 you need lots of money to buy land (土地), pay for horses and many other things. But you have no 5 . There is no way you can ever do it. Write another paper and I will give you another grade."

    That day Monty 6 a lot about it. Then he had a talk with his father. After listening to the boy's 7 his father said, "Dear son, it's your decision. You have to make up your mind about it, as it's important for you."

    After a week Monty handed in the 8 paper. He just wrote one more sentence at the end of it: You can keep the "E" and I will keep my 9 .

    Years later, the teacher went on a school trip with 30 kids to camp on a big horse ranch. One  evening she met the owner (主人) of the horse ranch. She got a big 10 because the owner was Monty the boy who got an "E" for the paper about his dream.

    Do you know the astronaut Chen Dong? He and another astronaut Jing Haipeng stayed in space for more than 30 days from October to November in 2016. During the days, they, did some experiments in space. For example, they tried to plant vegetables there.

    Chen Dong was born in Henan Province in 1978. When he was a child, he wasn't a good student. When he was in Grade 3, he made the vegetables at school dirty for fun. The vegetables were a gift to the teachers from the school, He was very afraid after that. However, his teacher wasn't angry with him. "You have to think about others when you do such things," the teacher only said.

    After that, Chen became a good student. He later became the class monitor, In 1997, he joined the PLA Air Force(中国人民解放军空军). With a safe flight record of 1,500 hours as a pilot, Chen became a member of the Shenzhou-11 mission(任务) in June, 2016.

    Before flying to space, Chen told his twin sons, "Dad is going out. When you look up at the sky and see a shining star, I am probably there, and say hi to me."

    The computers changed our lives in the 1980s, the Internet changed our lives in the 1990s, and the robots will change our lives in the new century. Do you think there will be robots in people's homes? It's NOT a dream that every home will have a robot.

    Now, robots are not only able to help people do the housework, but also able to help the doctors do the difficult operations, play chess with people, play the piano and so on.

    A new cooking robot is used in Beijing. It can cook all the dishes on the menu, and you only need to wait two to four minutes.  In the future, the robot will be a nurse, a security guard, or a partner in your life.

    Experts believe robots will be used everywhere, from the industrial robots to service robots. In the future, robots will become part of the family, and provide close service for people. We all look forward to the new robot age.

    Do you know oil platforms (石油钻井平台)? They pump out (大量生产) oil from under the ocean (海洋). There can be over 100 people living and working on an oil platform.

    The people on oil platforms do a number of different jobs. There are engineers, cooks, doctors, cleaners, etc. But the roughnecks (石油钻井工人) have the hardest job. It's hard, dangerous work.

    There are no weekends on oil platforms. Usually, people work every day for two weeks. Then they go back to land to have two or three weeks off from work.

    The people on oil platforms can play games and watch TV when they don't work or sleep. There's not much space, and you can't just go for a walk.

    Oil platforms are dangerous places. Everyone needs to work carefully.An accident (事故)on the platform Deepwater Horizon in 2010 killed eleven people and a lot of oil went into the ocean.

    After that accident, some people said that oil platforms were just too dangerous.So we still need people to work in these difficult, dangerous places.

    Ask yourself some questions. For example,do you like to work alone (独自) or withpeople? Do you want to live close to where you are now? Or would you like tomove to another place? How much money do you need to make? These are just a fewof the questions you should think about when working hard for your goals.
