    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.

New Year's resolutions

    A dream plays an important part in your daily life. Do you want to make your dream come true? I hope the following things can help you.

    Have a strong desire(欲望) for a goal You should remember the starting point of all kinds of success is a strong desire. Strong desires make good results. So, the first step is to have a strong desire for your goal.

    Believe in yourself. You can change your life by changing your mind. You should never stop thinking that your dream can come true. For example, you can draw a picture of something that you want and put it up on the wall. Then you can see it every day. It can encourage you to get through the problems.

    Make a plan. Making a plan is the most important step. You should make sure that you think through everything in the plan first. Each day you should follow the plan so that you can reach your goal.

    Check your progress(进步) You need to check how much progress you have made and how many things you have lost. Write these things down and find out how to do better later.

    Most people have ambitions (夙愿). A student's ambition, for example, might be to pass his or her exams and then get a good job. A businessman's ambition is usually to make a lot of money.

    However, not all ambitions are about success at work. Some people just want to be good people, have a family or help others.

    Ben's ambition is to be a sports writer. He likes sports most, and swimming and football are his favorites. Trudy's ambition is to be a concert pianist. She is very serious about it and practices every day with her best friend Lily.

    Harry's ambition changes every day! One day he wants to be an astronaut (宇航员). Next day he wants to be pop singer. His mother will be happy if his ambition is to get up in time for school every day!

    Larry is going to be a pilot. He wants to fly an airplane. But Larry is not a rich man. He doesn't have an airplane. He has only a chair. Larry ties 45 big balloons to his chair and then sits in the chair. The chair goes up.

    For a few minutes, everything is fine. The view from the chair is beautiful. Larry can see houses and trees below him. He is happy. He is flying!

    The chair goes up very high. Larry is afraid. “I don't want to go very high,” Larry thinks. “I want to go down a little.” With a small gun, Larry shoots 10 balloons. Then something terrible happens. Larry drops the gun, and it falls to the ground. Larry can't shoot more balloons. The chair goes up and up.

    Larry is three miles above the ground. Airplanes are flying over him. Larry has a small radio. “Help! Help!” he says into the radio. “I'm flying in a chair, and I want to come down!” People hear Larry, but they can't help him.

    Larry flies in the chair for 45 minutes. Then the balloons begin to lose air, slowly the chair comes down, and Larry is back on the ground. He is not hurt.

    I am Linda. I am going to talk about our  for the coming New Year. Susan is going to study another  language. She may learn Chinese because she likes Chinese culture very much. Lucy's resolution is about  health. So she is going to exercise three or four times  to keep healthy. Jack likes playing soccer very much. He is going to make the soccer .
