Following a Dream

Lewis was born in Britain in 1985, and his parents named him after the famous American sportsman Carl Lewis. Did they know that _______ fame (名望) was waiting for their son, too?

When Lewis was six, his father gave him a radio-controlled (无线电遥控的) car and he began to enter and _______ matches. From this very _______ age, Lewis’ dream was to become a Formula 1 driver, so his father bought him a go-kart and he started go-kart racing in 1993 when he was only eight years old. He won some races (比赛) , and he knew that he had to win more.

One day, when he was ten years old, Lewis met a man called Ron Dennis. Dennis was the manager of McLaren Formula 1 _______ . Lewis asked Dennis for his autograph(亲笔签名), saying, “My name’s Lewis and one day I want to _______ your cars.” Ron Dennis wrote in his autograph book, “Phone me nine years from now, we’ll talk about it again.” In fact, when Lewis won his first go-kart championship (冠军) a few years later, Ron Dennis _______ him, and in 1999 Lewis joined McLaren’s “Young Drivers” programme. He was the youngest person ever to do this.

In 2001, world Formula 1 champion Mike said, “He’s a fantastic driver, very strong and _________ sixteen years old. If he keeps this up, I’m sure he will reach F1.”

Mike was right. Lewis started as a driver in F1 races in 2007. He finished the season in second place. Then in 2008, at the age of twenty-three, Lewis became the youngest world champion in F1 history. Lewis had a dream, and he _______ it and found what he wanted. And that’s success!

April Fool

Every year, we celebrate many special days－Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and New Year’s Day. In North America and parts of Europe, people celebrate April Fool’s Day.

Many believe that the French started April Fool’s Day. Centuries ago, New Year’s Day in Europe was April 1. In 1582, the calendar changed and King Charles IX of France moved it to January 1. Some people did not like this and chose to keep April 1 as New Year’s Day. Many called these people “April fools” and played jokes (开玩笑) on them. Over time, April 1 became a day to have fun in France. It then became popular in England and Scotland, and later, to North America.

On April Fool’s Day, playing jokes is popular. In the United States, for example, a person may move a friend’s clock one hour earlier, or change the sugar with salt. In Spain and Mexico, people play jokes on each other on December 28. In India, it happens on March 31. In many countries around the world, April 1 is a day of fun. There is a lot of fun, and many shouts of “April Fool!”

Dear Henry,

I am writing to you from the home of my Aunt Grace and Uncle Jacob in Missouri. We stopped here for a few days to visit and rest. Now I am sitting on Aunt Grace’s chair in the garden alone. We left Pennsylvania seven weeks ago and it was really hard to sit on the covered wagon (有蓬的马车) to travel. It is only seven weeks，but it seems like much more!

Luckily, our journey is almost over. My dad likes the look of the land near St. Louis. He thinks we can have a new home here. And Mom likes the idea of living near Aunt Grace and Uncle Jacob. They wanted to help us build our new home and clear land for our rice field (田地) . Uncle Jacob will also give us a horse and some chickens. It seems we will have a good start.

I miss (想念) Pennsylvania already. I miss the mountains. I miss fishing at Thunder River. But mostly I miss my old friends and neighbors. Please say hello to everyone for me. I will write again soon. Please write back.

Your friend,

Robert
