     阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
     I have a friend Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧马场) in San Ysidro. When he
was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
The next day he handed it in to the teacher. On the front was a large red F. He 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.
You come from an itinerant(四处奔波的)family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch
requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding
stock and later you"ll have to pay large stud (种马) fees. There"s no way you could ever do it."
    He stated, "You can keep the F and I"ll keep my dream."
   The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same school teacher brought 30 kids
to camp out on Monty"s ranch for a week. 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 kids" dreams. Fortunately you had enough belief not to give up on yours."

答案

     This passage tells us that Monty Roberts, who had such strong belief that he didn"t give
up his dream all the time, eventually succeeded in owning a horse ranch.
     For a person, belief always plays an important role in his/her life. As a saying goes,
"Where there is a will, there is a way." Anyone who has strong belief can enjoy a colorful
life. Otherwise, he will lose himself in his own way of life.
     Belief is so important that it can change one"s fate. As a deaf man, Beethoven went on
working with his strong belief in the last year of his life, though he was not able to hear his
own fine music. Marie Curie, a famous scientist, also has set a good example. In 1898,
Marie found a new element in the pitchblende. In order to improve her discovery, Marie
and her husband worked hard. At last they saw the dim blue light of new element -radium,
which made her dream come true.
     From my personal point of view, it can be seen that one with firmly-held belief is likely to
get successful and master his own life.
