I learned to wear reins(疆绳)and a bit in my mouse. I did not like them, but all the horses had to wear them.My master had two horses. One of them was Merrylegs. He was very friendly.

Just then a man saw us. “Hey there!stop!” he cried.“What is it?” shouted Squire.“The bridge is broken in the middle,” he answered. “If you go on to it, you are going to drown in the river.”“Thank God!” said 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.

A father and his son are trying their best to live on, travelling south on the road as they fight with a terrible winter.This is the plot (情节) of the novelThe Road . Written by US writer Cormac McCarthy. The book came out in 2006 and won the Pulitzer Prize (普利策奖) in 2007. In the book, McCarthy shows man’s true nature, which I think is the high point of the book.The main character (人物) is a great father —he has a strong will to live and keep his child safe. During their journey, he is really tired, but he tries to find food anywhere he can.Finally, he finds a place to hide in with lots of food inside. There is enough for them to eat for days. He is a selfless (无私的) father, always making sure his child has something to eat.But sometimes, the man becomes emotional (情绪化的) and starts to think deeply about his past. His memories of the past do nothing but let him down when he wakes up and sees the real world around him.In a word, this novel is a great read. The man is not a perfect hero, but all of us can see a little of ourselves in him. Love always wins, in stories or real life. This book makes us learn to love others and一、完形填空1. C2. B3. B4. A5. D6.
