That night he wrote a seven-page paper saying that someday he’d __32__ a horse ranch (牧场). He wrote about his dream in great detail and he __33__ drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch with all the buildings.

However, I think it is a very important __43__ for you.” Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the __44__ paper, making no changes at all. He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my 45 .” 小题1: A．speech B．paper C．notice D．diary 小题2: A．paint B．win C．own D．sell 小题3: A．just B．almost C．ever D．even 小题4: A．heart B．life C．advice D．trust 小题5: A．to B．with C．from D．for 小题6: A．word B．letter C．note D．post 小题7: A．How B．Why C．When D．Where 小题8: A．unusual B．unforgettable C．unimportant D．unrealistic 小题9: A．money B．time C．space D．effort 小题10: A．wonder B．way C．problem D．matter 小题11: A．Though B．since C．Until D．If 小题12: A．himself B．him C．it D．itself 小题13: A．change B．gift C．message D．decision 小题14: A．long B．thick C．same D．correct 小题15: A．grade B．dream C．duty D．secret
