“Tell me again how you learned to ride a horse,” I would ask my father when I was a little girl in Denmark. I was no more than four years old—too little to learn to ride a horse by myself. But I liked to hear my father tell his story. And then he would begin.

“When I was a little boy, as little as you are now,” he would say, “I wanted to ride the horses. But I was too small to mount a horse. So I would slip into my father’s stables to be with the horses and admire them. Such big, powerful animals they were!

“The gentle workhorses stood quietly in their stalls, eating their hay. I would climb up the side of one of the stalls and slide over onto the horse’s back.

“Then I would hold its mane and imagine us running quickly over the grasslands, down to the shore, and even into the sea.

“When I grew tall enough to mount a horse,” he said, “my wish came true.”

“You swim with the horses now,” I said. “You even swim with Fiery. And he has spirit!”

Everybody knew about Fiery, the great black male horse with the fierce temper, and how he behaved when he first came to the stables. He raised itself on its back legs with the front legs in the air. He snorted and kicked. He rolled his eyes. And everyone was afraid of him. Everyone, except my father.

I wanted to hear more. “Now tell me how you made Fiery your friend,” I begged. This was my favorite story.

“Well, little Else,” my father went on, “I just talked to him. I talked as a friend. You must talk to a horse like Fiery.

“I’d say, ‘No, little horse. No, my friend. You can’t run free. You must learn to let me ride you.’

“And soon Fiery began to listen. He knew from my voice that I would be his friend.”

So Fiery let my father teach him to carry a rider. Then Fiery would take my father across the soft green grasslands or even into the lively waters of the northern sea. I loved to see Father riding Fiery without a saddle(马鞍) into the sea. There they swam, Father and Fiery, out in the cold, clear water.

Often I would watch them from the shore, holding tight to my mother’s hand. They swam so bravely. I was so proud of them!

Then Father and Fiery would come splashing out of the water and run along the shore toward us. They made a fine stop—just in time!

Fiery towered over us. He tossed his head and shook sea water from his shining black coat.

Father was laughing and patting Fiery’s neck.

And I was making a wish.

I wished that someday I could have a horse, too . . . but a smaller one!

1.What is Fiery like when he first comes to the stables?

A. He is quiet and lazy.

B. He is wild and full of spirit.

C. He makes friends with everyone.

D. He only lets Else’s father ride him.

2.Where does Else most like to watch her father ride Fiery?

A. At the seashore. B. On the farm.

C. In the grasslands. D. In the stables.

3.In the passage, the underlined word “mount” means___________.

A. feed withB. talk about C. fasten to D. climb onto

4.How does Else feel about horses after watching her father ride Fiery?

A. She wants a horse just like Fiery.

B. She has no interest in riding horses.

C. She would like to have a smaller horse.

D. She thinks horses should not go into the sea.

5.What does Else learn from her father’s story?

A. How to train a workhorse.

B. How to swim with a horse.

C. How to make friends with a horse.

下面文章中有5个段落需要添加标题（第61-65题）。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选山适合各段落的标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. Get started!

B. Forget your failures.

C. Find and use your positive voice.

D. Think about how far you have come.

F. Accept failure as a positive learning experience.

Realizing your dreams is not a matter of possibility; it's a matter of motivating yourself to focus on the right things. You know you should be doing something, but sometimes you just don't feel like doing anything. This discouraging situation can last a long time if you don't head it off and take action. Here are some daily motivation tricks that might work for you.

This is by far the most important tip in this article, because in the end, all of the other tips in the world won't make as much of a difference as this simple and timeless instruction: Sit down and get a move on! Do you feel the push-back of laziness? Reading more about motivation won't help. Reviewing your to-do lists won't help. Only doing actually helps get everything going. So stop thinking about how hard the task is going to be or how long it's going to take you. Not starting is failing. Tell yourself, "As soon as I get going, I'll feel more motivated." And you'll realize it's not nearly as hard as you thought it would be.

Be aware of your self-talk and stay confident. You have the choice to replace negative self-talk with a more encouraging and friendly voice. A voice that will consider your aim as not just a possibility, but a probability; A voice that does not look at the possibility of success before taking action, but rather uses self-belief as its driving force; A voice that all things are possible to those who commit to their dream.

Tell yourself over and over again that you can do it. See what effect it has. Persist with this kind of possibility and eventually you'll feel better about whatever it is you want to get done, and you'll even start to fool yourself into believing it's true.

There is no better way to recharge yourself for improvement than spending time with someone who motivates you. They are smart and can always encourage you to be better. Study their qualities. Study their habits. Surround yourself with them, talk to them, learn from them; they are already living and producing results at a level you admire and expect to. Compare stories, successes and failures. Let their inner light guide you.

You have made so much progress, you just don’t realize it. Open your eyes and give yourself credit for all that you have done. Think about it. Write down your past successes. Consider using a journal to keep track of them. You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised when you review your results. It’s a great motivator to see how much you have improved and how far you have come. Be happy with your progress and move on.

Do not judge unsuccessful attempts and mistakes as an indication of your future potential, but as part of the growth process. Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime. When times get tough, take a deep breath, and know that most great things come when you least expect it. Being defeated is a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent. And most people that gave up didn’t realize how close they were to success. Push through!

Meeting again by chance, Lucy and Amy are delighted to the friendship where it left out years ago.

A. break upB. pick upC. bring up D. build up
