Clothes are important to us, but do you know how to buy clothes in a right way? Here are some ideas for you. When you go shopping and want to buy some clothes, first you should know which kind of clothes you need. Then look at the labels that are inside the new clothes. They can tell you how to take care of the clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash it in cold water. The label on a coat may say “dry clean(干洗) only”. If you do as the instructions(说明) say on the label, you can keep your clothes well for a long time.

Many clothes today must be dry-cleaned. Dry-cleaning is a little expensive. When you buy new clothes, you should know if they need to be dry-cleaned. You can save money if you buy clothes that can be washed in the water or that are well-made. Well-made clothes will look good even after you wash them many times. Expensive clothes don’t always mean they are better made. They may not fit you either. On the other hand, less expensive clothes may sometimes look better and fit you well.

One day in autumn Squire Gordon went on a long journey. John went with him and I pulled the coach(马车). The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily until we came to the old wooden bridge. A villager told us the river was rising fast. “There’s going to be a bad storm tonight,” he said.

We arrived in the town, but Squire Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was blowing, making a terrible sound.

Suddenly we heard crack. And huge tree fell across the road in front of us. I stopped still(静静地). I was shaking with fear, but I did not turn round or run away.

“We must go back to the crossroads,” said John, “and drive six miles to the wooden bridge.” When we got there it was nearly dark. There was water on the middle of the bridge, but the Squire did not stop. As soon as my feet touched the bridge I knew that something was wrong, I stopped dead. “Go on, Beauty,” he said.

Just then a man saw us. “Hey there! Stop!” he cried.

“What is it?” shouted the Squire.

“The bridge is broken in the middle,” he answered. “If you go on to it, you are all going to drown(淹死) in the river.”

“Thank God!” said the Squire. “Thank you, Beauty!” said John. We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time no one said anything. Then John said: “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”

When we returned home, the Squire told Mrs Gordon:

“We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty!”

That night I was glad, because I was very tired.
