A

John Smith owns a horse ranch (大牧场) in California. He is my best friend and lets me use his house to hold events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he greeted me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a poor horse trainer who would go from stable (马厩) to stable, farm to farm, training horses. As a result, the boy's high school was continually interrupted (打断).One day in the last year of high school, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to do when he grew up.

“He wrote a seven - page paper about his goal of owning a horse ranch in great detail. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and even drew a detailed floor plan for the dream ranch. Then the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. But he got a low mark with a note that read, “See me after class.”

The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, “Why did I receive a low mark?”

The teacher said “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There's no way you could ever do it. ” Then the teacher added, “If you rewrite this paper, I will reconsider your mark.”

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. ”

Can you survive an unannounced storm? Although there is expert broadcasting and we are equipped with cell phones, there're still some instances when the violent weather takes us by surprise.

While most Atlantic hurricanes（飓风）form off the coast of Africa giving plenty of early warning, sudden Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico hurricanes form and move rapidly in less than a day's time, endangering everyone and everything in their path.

There've been oil workers trapped off the shore when sudden storms appeared. Field archeologists（考古学家）have been stuck in coastal areas without storm warning. It wasn't but a few decades ago that a Texas National Guard group was trapped on the beach by rain-forced flooding and had to ride out a major hurricane during a training exercise. There've been a few instances when travelers were trapped on an island or in a coastal area and unable to escape in time.

Escaping from the storm-threatened areas is generally a choice for most of us---but not for all. Each year thousands of islanders across the Caribbean face the danger of hurricanes without so much as a public shelter to hide in. Most ride out the storm in their homes.
