Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, I also had to deal with my parents bitter divorce, a new family and the upsetting move fr

2、om my country home to a crowded town. When we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony had to be sold. I was heartbroken and terribly lonely. I couldnt eat or sleep and cried all the time. Finally, realizing how much I missed my pony, my father bought me another horse, Cowboy.Cowboy was

3、without doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didnt care. I loved him beyond all reasons. I joined a riding club. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly ”shown the gate”. I knew nothing could turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance

4、 to compete would be in the timed speed events. I chose the jumping race.For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home, totally exhausted.All of our hard work didnt make me feel confident by the time the show came. One girl named

5、 Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. I sat at the gate and sweated all out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place.My turn finally came. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped over it withou

6、t trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.No cheers filled the air. The end of our run was met with surprised silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds.I gained

7、 much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, Id always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it. I can be the owner of my fate.1. Why did the author like Cowboy so much in spite of its ugliness?A. Because she loved horses mo

8、re than anything else.B. Because Cowboy was a strong and smart young horse.C. Because Cowboy had a lot in common with her pony.D. Because she was sad and lonely and needed a companion. 2. After the competition, the author came to realize that _.A. she ought to gather the courage to solve all the pro

9、blemsB. she could be the god of her own fate if she tried hard enoughC. she needed to work harder to win more blue ribbonsD. it was time to forget her pony and treat Cowboy better 3.The audience fell into silence at the end of the run probably because_.A. they didnt expect Cowboy would win the event

10、B. they were unhappy that Becky was beaten in the eventC. they didnt like cowboy, for it was too uglyD. they never saw a horse running as fast as Cowboy4. It can be inferred from the story that _.A. all of their hard training was totally in vainB. a blue ribbon must be the second highest prizeC. Cow

11、boy lost in the event of being judged by appearanceD. both Becky and the author won in the jumping event BLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher. If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very i

12、mportant, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesnt solve anything. Communication begin

13、s with the concerns (關(guān)心) of another. It means that you cant just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore (不理睬) everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing. If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would

14、say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance （表達(dá)）of information, correspondence （通信）, means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if its just by writing a note. When dealing with parents, y

15、ou always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that youll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse. This is an exa

16、mple: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didnt feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting

17、home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they werent as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophies parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble. Communication isnt a one-way deal: it goes

18、 both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophies, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.5. In the writers view, dealing with parents is _ than with children. A. more difficult B. easier C. more uninteresting D. more interesting6. When p

19、arents and children are in communication, the key to a happy relationship is that _.

Sophies parents are

20、 willing to listen to her B. Sophie is very polite to her parents C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late D. communication is the solution to misunderstanding8. All the following statements are correct except “_”. A. If you dont agree with others, youd better let them know B. It is better to

21、 say “Hi” to others than say nothing C. If you are not able to communicate, walk away D. Communication is a two-way dealC If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to lea

22、rn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exerci

23、se builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second lan

24、guage before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference._“Our findings sugg
