Thirteen can be a challenging age. Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, I also had to deal with my parents’ painful separation, a new family and the upsetting move from 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 couldn’t 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 without doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t 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 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 didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. One girl named 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 without 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 much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it. I can be the owner of my destiny(命运).
1.Why did the author like Cowboy so much in spite of its ugliness?
A. Because she was sad and lonely and needed a companion.
B. Because Cowboy was a strong and smart young horse.
C. Because Cowboy had a lot in common with her pony.
D. Because she loved horses more than anything else.
2.The audience fell into silence at the end of the run probably because _______.
A. they didn’t like Cowboy, for it was too ugly
B. they didn’t expect Cowboy would win the event
C. they never saw a horse running as fast as Cowboy
D. they were unhappy that Becky was beaten in the event
3.What did the author come to realize after the competition?
A. She could be the master of her own fate if she tried hard enough.
B. She ought to gather the courage to solve all the problems.
C. It was time to forget her pony and treat Cowboy better.
D. She needed to work harder to win more blue ribbons.
4.What can you infer from the story?
A. All of their hard training was totally in vain.
B. A blue ribbon must be the second highest prize.
C. Both Becky and the author won in the jumping event.
D. Cowboy lost in the event of being judged by appearance.

The editor of the new Cool Camping Britain guide chooses some of his favorite new finds in England, Wales and Scotland.
Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides
Is this Britain’s most beautiful campsite? From the grassy point looking seaward to the mountains, it’s not hard for campers to see how the island inspired The Lord of the Rings author’s fantasy landscapes. The campsite itself is as wild and wonderful as its setting.
Open April — September, from ￡5 per tent per night.
Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, Suffolk
Deep in the wilds of north Suffolk, this seven-acre campsite has only been open for a few years, with two fields separated by a lake and surrounded by woodland. The position is perfect. It’s a great place to do nothing but get into nature. You can put up your tent in the bottom field or the woodland beyond.
Open Easter — October, from ￡10 per tent per night.
Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, Cornwall
This site, by a lake, is all about simple pleasures. Located in the former mining village, it has a summerhouse（凉亭）with books and games for a rainy day. There are many animals including pigs, hens, goats and ducks on the farm and a pub just a 10- minute stroll away. There’s very little to do here, no bells and no whistles. Campfires are encouraged.
Open Easter — September, from ￡10 per tent per night.
Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Sciily
Its only campsite, Troytown, couldn’t be in a more remote position. Isolation is its greatest advantage — so bring plenty of books to read and don’t expect a phone signal. But at least one of life’s necessities is available. Lying on the hillside overlooking the bay and near the island of the Gugh, it might just win the prize for best beer garden view in England.
Open March October, from ￡7. 50 per tent per night,
1.Which of the following is TRUE about Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides?
A. It has been open for a few years.

A. Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides.
B. Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, Suffolk.
C. Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, Cornwall.

How to Help Save the Environment
Cleaning up the existing damage to our environment and preventing further destruction is a huge job. It can seem that there is no way one person, especially a young person like you, can make a difference. 1. , starting with changing some simple everyday habits and working with others to spread the importance of protecting the environment. Here are a few suggestions.
Avoid unnecessary driving (or being driven). Every teenager looks forward to a driver’s license and a first car, but automobiles are one of the primary causes of air pollution. If it’s too far to pedal a bike, take a bus or share your car ride with someone else. 2. , but it undoubtedly benefits the environment more.
Unplug electrical equipment when possible. Even when turned off, some appliances may still use power. 3. . So it is best to unplug anything that you do not expect to use in the next 36 hours (or more).
Carry a bag and a reusable water bottle. 4. . On the contrary, plastic bags and disposable bottles may bring convenience to you, but the environmental damage caused by them is almost permanent. Every plastic bottle not made and plastic bag not used helps a little bit.
Raise awareness. Talk to family and friends about simple changes they can make, and why they should do so to help protect the environment. 5. . It’s acceptable to just show them that you have thought a lot about the subject, are passionate about making a difference, and really could use their support.
A. But you can make your contribution
B. This saves you money with fewer trips to the gas station
C. It might not seem as cool as driving yourself
D. They may be the secret sources of the large number on your electric bill
E. This can help start a dialogue in your community about a particular environmental issue

G. They don’t take up much space but can prevent a lot of waste

(CNN) — An ultra-marathoner trying to “run” from Florida to Bermuda in a human-powered inflatable (充气的) bubble was rescued Saturday morning, after he signaled for help, the Coast Guard said.
Reza Baluchi, according to his website, has set a goal of running across more than 190 recognized nations to encourage world peace.
The Coast Guard first came across Baluchi on Wednesday after receiving a report about a man in a bubble off the coast of Miami, disoriented and asking for directions to Bermuda, a Coast Guard press release said. It was not clear when he started his adventure.
A Coast Guard ship found Baluchi. Officials described the craft as a “hydro pod bubble” and a man in a 2013 YouTube video called a Baluchi bubble “a big hamster wheel.” It moved along the ground as Baluchi ran inside.
In the press release, the Coast Guard said Baluchi had protein bars, bottled water, a GPS and a satellite phone. The Coast Guard warned him of the voyage’s dangers and asked Baluchi to quit his journey because he didn’t have enough supplies. But he wouldn’t leave his bubble, officials said.
The Coast Guard monitored his progress and on Saturday morning exhausted Baluchi activated(激活) his personal locating beacon(灯塔), the Coast Guard said.
A Coast Guard airplane and a helicopter, along with the boat Maersk Montana, were sent to rescue Baluchi 70 miles east of St. Augustine, the Coast Guard said.
He was exhausted and taken to the Coast Guard air station, where his medical condition was evaluated. There were no reported injuries, the Coast Guard said.
“Part of his effort was to make world peace but he got caught up in the Gulf Stream,” said Coast Guard public affairs specialist Mark Barney. “The chances of muscling out of the Gulf Stream were pretty low.”
Baluchi could not be reached for comment, but a video posted on Baluchi’s Facebook page described his plans to travel in the bubble across the Caribbean, as well as his other athletic exploits.
The CNN.com story quoted Baluchi saying he’d run across the United States twice and around its border once. He said he fled Iran to escape persecution (迫害). Now he is an American citizen.
1.What happened to Baluchi when he first came across the Coast Guard?
A. He was confused about which direction he should go.
B. His bubble was broken.
C. He was exhausted by the adventure.
D. He activated his locating beacon.
2.From the passage, we can know that __________.
A. The Coast Guard advised Baluchi to quit the journey because the weather was terrible.
B. Baluchi ended his journey since he hadn’t enough supplies.
C. In the press release, Baluchi described his plan to cross the Caribbean in the bubble.
D. Although Baluchi was exhausted, there were no reported injuries after his being rescued.
3.Which of the following words can best describe Reza Baluchi’s personality?
A. Optimistic B. Adventurous

Years ago, I owned the very best dog in the world. I was a child when we got her. She grew up with me, and was always there when I needed her. She died during one of my college vacations. My heart broke then, and I knew that there would never be another dog like her.
However, I was wrong. My next dog came into my life when I was married. My husband traveled for a living, and I was often lonely. This dog taught me to be patient.

Opened in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was the first long?span bridge to carry motor traffic, and it quickly became the model for the great suspension bridges of the following century. Spanning New York's East River, it provided the first traffic artery （要道）between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn. Before that, the only transportation was by ferries, which were slow and could be dangerous in winter.
The construction of a bridge over the EastRiver had been discussed since the early 19th century, but the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 deflected all consideration of the project. When the war ended in 1865, the bridge became an important issue once more. In 1867, the New York State passed an act setting up the New York Bridge Company for the purpose of constructing a bridge between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn.
John Augustus Roebling was chosen to design the bridge. Born in Germany in 1806, he held aggressive views as a student and was listed by the German police as a dangerous figure. He emigrated to America in 1830 to escape political discrimination.
Roebling proposed a bridge with a span of 1,500 feet (465 m), with two towers in the East River serving as the main piers. The bridge that was actually built is longer—1,597 feet (486 m), the longest suspension bridge at that time.
1.What was the purpose of building the Brooklyn Bridge?
A．To replace an old bridge.
B．To set up a model for bridge construction.
C．To build a long?span bridge for the Civil War.
D．To provide faster and safer transportation than boats.
2.Which of the following is closest in meaning to “deflected” in the second paragraph?
A．blocked B．developed
C. deserved D．indicated
3.Which of the following is TRUE about the Brooklyn Bridge?
A．It was built in 1865.
B．It is shorter than originally planned.
C．It was first proposed after the Civil War.
D．It was built by the New York Bridge Company.
4.According to the passage, which of the following correctly describes John Augustus Roebling?
A．He participated in the Civil War and was seriously wounded.
B．He was the first person to propose the construction of the bridge.
C．He was chosen to design the bridge because of his aggressive views.
D．He moved to America because he was discriminated against in his home country.
