一、阅读理解

The horse market was an interesting place. There was always a lot to see. There were young  horses from the country, little Welsh ponies, like Merrylegs, and many beautiful horses too. But there were also a lot of poor, thin horses, tired out from hard work. I was very sad to see them.

At the horse market there was a man with a gentle voice and kind grey eyes. He offered twenty‑three pounds for me, but they refused (拒绝), and he walked away. Then a man with a very loud voice came. I was afraid he was going to buy me, but he walked off. Then the grey‑eyed man came back again and said, "I will give twenty‑four for him."

"Done," said the salesman. "He's a quality horse and if you want him for cab (马车) work."

Half an hour later we set off for London, along country roads, until we came to that great city. There were streets to the right, and streets to the left. We went into one of the small streets, and then into a very narrow street, with small, old houses on one side, and stables (马厩) on the other.

My new owner stopped at a house. The door opened, and a young woman, a little girl and a boy, came out. They all looked at me. "He's really a black beauty. Is he gentle, Father?" "Yes, Dolly, as gentle as a little cat. You can touch him."

Dolly, the little girl, gave me a gentle touch. It felt good! They led me into a comfortable, clean stable, and after a delicious meal I lay down to sleep.
