There was a young man born in a poor family. Once he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. That night he wrote an even-page paper describing his goal of some day owing a horse ranch （農(nóng)場(chǎng)）. He wrote his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram （圖表） of a 4000-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. However， on the front page was a large red F. The boy with dream 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 and you have no resources， so there is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added， “If you 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 sitting with it for a week， the boy turned in the paper， making no changes at all. He stated， “You can keep the F and I will keep my dream.”

Recalling the story， the teacher was sitting in the boy's 400-square-foot house in the middle of 200-acre ranch. 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 kid's dreams.

When I read a post about taking someone to the movies， I was reminded of something that happened a couple of years ago.

I used to drink Cokes and they had a competition where there was a code inside the bottle cap. You went to a website and entered the code and maybe you won something. I won some free Cokes. But then I won the Grand Prize！ I was surprised and pleased.

The Grand Prize was free movies for a year. They pointed out that one movie a week was what free movies for a year meant. All of the tickets had a deadline （截止日期） later than a year from the day I received them. So I must use them in the following year. I used quite a few taking friends to movies we all wanted to see.

But the best thing I did with them was that I donated 22 tickets （all I had left by that time） to the local Women's Transition House， a place where women and their children could go when avoiding a bad situation in general and get help to make a new start.

My workplace team had decided to help people in need， so we collected donations for that particular New Year's Day. I knew that the Women's Transition House provided some childcare for the women so they could go for job interviews and things like that.

I put those tickets in a box and wrote a note on the outside， asking the Women's Transition House staff to give movie tickets to women there over the holidays to have something fun to do， with or without their children. It made me really happy to do this.

8. How did the author get the tickets？

A. By visiting a website by chance. ? ? ? B. By using some Cokes to get them.

C. By attending a knowledge competition. D. By winning the prize for drinking Cokes.

9. How many tickets did the author and his friends use？

A. About 22. ? ? B. About 30. ? ? C. About 52. ? ? D. About 365.

10. Which of the following best describes the author？

A. Lucky and caring. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? B. Creative and careful.

C. Responsible and cheerful. ? ? ? ? ? ? D. Thankful and generous.

11. What does the Women's Transition House offer？

A. Jobs to women in need. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? B. Help to women in trouble.

C. Free movie tickets to women. ? ? ? ? D. Skills of job interviews to women.

Children all around the world are familiar with fairy tales such as “The Little Mermaid” （《美人魚(yú)》）， “The Princess and the Pea” and “The Emperor's New Clothes”. The colorful characters from the stories made us laugh and cry throughout our childhood.

The stories are the creation of Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen. The year 2005 marks his 200th birthday. To celebrate， the China Puppet Theater in Beijing， is holding a series of shows based on his classic fairy tales.

At the age of 14， Andersen moved to Copenhagen to start a career as a singer and actor. He struggled for three years until he had to leave the theater when his voice broke in 1822.

Andersen went to a grammar school after he left the theater. Having done well he was admitted to Copenhagen University in 1828. He began to publish his fairy tales in 1835. They came out in small numbers until his death. Andersen died on August 4， 1875. His home in Osdense is now a museum and thousands of people visit it every year.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner！ Of course a big dinner with turkey is necessary， but being thankful is more important. What can you be thankful for？ The following story may _1_you：

Thanksgiving Day was coming. The first grade teacher gave her class a _2_ assignment—to draw a picture of something that they were thankful for.

Whose hand could it be？ One _8_ guessed it was the hand of a farmer， because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer， because the police _9_ and care for people. And so the _10_ went—until the teacher almost forgot the young _11_ himself.

When the children had _12_ to other assignments， she paused at Douglas' desk， bent down， and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy said in a _13_ voice， “It's yours， teacher.”

The teacher _14_ the times she had taken Douglas' hand and walked with him here or there， as she had done with the _15_ students.
