     Thirteen, for me, was a challenging year. My parents divorced and I moved to a new town with my
father, far from my old family and friends. I was terribly lonely and would cry myself to sleep each night.
To ease my sadness, my father purchased an old horse for me at a local auction. I named him Cowboy.
     Cowboy was without a doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved him beyond all
reason. I joined a riding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickers about Cowboy’s looks. I
never let on about how I felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking. The other members rode beautiful,
registered horses.
     When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance, we were quickly
shown the gate. No amount of preparation and love would turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance
to compete would be in the speed events. I chose the jumping race.?
     One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons.  
Needless to say, she didn’t feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didn’t
need to. I came in next to last.
     The stinging memory of Becky’s smirks made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena (赛马场). 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. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place.
     My turn finally came. I put on my hat,  rubbed Cowboy’s neck and entered the arena. At  the signal,
we dashed toward the first fence, jumped  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. As we
crossed the line the crowd was shocked into 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.
1. The underlined expression "shown the gate" (paragraph 3) most probably means ______.
A. told how to enter the arena
B. shown how to make the horse beautiful
C. removed from the competition early
D. told to enter the timed-speed events
2. When the final race finished, nobody cheered because        .
A. the audience didn’t like Cowboy
B. people envied the writer
C. the win was unexpected?            
D. the writer bad run out of time
3. Why was the writer not confident of victory?
A. He was an inexperienced rider.
B. He had not practiced enough.
C. He believed he was unpopular with the crowd.
D. He thought his horse wasn’t so good as the others.
4. What did the writer learn from his experience?
A. Life can sometimes be unfair.
B. Anything is possible if one tries hard enough.
C. A positive attitude will bring success.
D. One should not make judgments based on appearance.

阅读理解。

     Some years ago I took on a task in a southern county to work with people on public welfare. What I
wanted to do was to show that everybody has the capacity to be self sufficient and all we have to do is to
activate (激励)them. I asked the country to pick up a group of people who were on public welfare, people
 from different racial groups and different family groups. I would then see them as a group for three hours
every Friday. I also asked for a little petty cash to work with, as I needed it.
    The first thing I said after I shook hands with everybody was, "I'd like to know what your dreams are."
Everyone looked at me as if I were kind of fool.
     One woman said to me,"I don't know what you can do with dreams. The rats are eating up my kids."
"Oh," I said,"That's terrible. No, of course, you are very much involved with the rats and your kids. How
can that be helped?"
     "Well, I could use a new screen door because there are holes in my screen door." I asked, "Is there
anybody around here who know how to fix a screen door?"
     There was a man in the group and he said,"A long time ago I used to do things like that but now I have
a terribly bad back, but I'll try."
     I told him I had some money if he would go to the store and but some screening and go and fix the
lady's screen door. "Do you think you can do that?" 
     "Yes, I'll try."
     The next week, when the group was seated. I said to the woman, "Well, is your screen door fixed?"
     "Oh, yes." she said.
      "Then we can start dreaming, can't we?" she sort of smiled at me.
     I said to the man who did the work,"How do you feel?"
     He said,"Well, you know, it's very funny thing. I'm beginning to feel a lot better."
     That helped the group to begin to dream. These seemingly small successes allowed the group to see
that dreams were not insane. These small steps began to get people to see and feel that something really
could happen.
     Everyone found something. The man who put in the screen door became a handyman. In 12 weeks,
I had all those people off public welfare. I've not only done that once, I've done that in many times.

1. What's the opinion the author had when he took on the work?
A. People need to be activated by others to make a living.
B. Everyone should not have depended on public welfare.
C. Everyone has the ability to live on without getting public welfare.
D. The county should gather people from different racial groups together.
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The author did the work at his own expense.
B. The people the author worked with were very wealthy.
C. The author usually met the people four times a month.
D. The people the author worked with had no dreams at all.
3. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. The rats are so big that they eat the children.
B. The rats are crazy and have the children as food.
C. The rats are giving the kids and the mother much trouble.
D. The kids are too weak and even are nearly eaten by the rats..
4. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A. Anything in the would is difficult.
B. Small success can be parts of your dream.
C. I have had those people off public welfare.
D. Your dream comes before it becomes a reality
