The Price of a Dream

  I grew up poor–living with my wonderful mother.We had little money, but plenty of love and attention.I was   1   and energetic.I understood that   2   poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.

  My dream was   3  .By the time I was sixteen, I started playing baseball.I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and   4   anything that moved on the football field.I was also   5  :My high school coach was John, who not only believed in me, but also taught me   6   to believe in myself.He   7   me the difference between having a dream and remaining true to that dream.One particular   8   with Coach John changed my life forever.A friend recommended me for a summer job.This meant a chance for money in my pocket money for a new bike, new clothes and the   9   of saving for a house for my mother.Then I realied I would have to   10   summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell John I wouldn't be playing.

  When I told John, he was   11   as I expected him to be.“You have your whole life to work,”he said.“Your   12   days are limited.You can’t afford to waste them.”I stood before him with my head   13  , trying to think of the   14   that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his   15   in me.

  “How much are you going to make at this job, son?”he asked.“3.5 dollars an hour,”I replied.

  “Well,”he asked,“is $3.5 an hour the price of a dream?”

  That simple question made me   16   the difference between   17   something right now and having a   18  .I decided myself to play sports that summer and within the year I was   19   by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball, and was   20   a $20000 contact(agreement).In the same year, I bought my mother the house of my dream!

The remaining  23   heavy metals, carcinogens(致癌物) and even radioactive materials that young children can get on their hands and take  in, 24  if they're crawling or playing on the floor。

  "Everyone knows that second-hand smoke is bad, 28   they don't know about this," said Dr. Jonathan P. Winickoff, the lead author of the study and an assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School。

  "When their kids are 29  the house, they might smoke. Or they smoke in the car. Or they strap(用带子捆扎) the kid in the car seat in the back and crack the window and 30   , and they think it's okay because the second-hand smoke isn't getting to their 31   .

  But 37   fewer of those surveyed were aware of the  38   of third-hand smoke. Since the term is so new, the researchers asked people if they agreed with the statement that "breathing air in a room 39  where people smoked yesterday can harm the health of infants and children"。

  Only 65 percent of nonsmokers and 43 percent of smokers agreed with that 40   , which researchers interpreted as acknowledgement of the risks of third-hand smoke.
