How do you usually get to school? Buy bus? On foot? Roby Burch, 16, a US student, gets to school a little 36__________---he goes by horse (马). Burch has been riding his white horse 4 miles to and from school 37 __________the beginning of the semester. “Every morning, wearing my blue jacket and jeans, I’m on my way at 6 am.” Burch says, “The streets are mostly 38__________ at this time of morning. It’s a nice way to start the day.” The idea was his 39__________. His family were enjoying their vacation on their farm this summer, “My dad just said, ‘Roby, you 40__________ ride your horse to school every day.’” says Burch. He thought it really was a good idea. When they got back home, Burch asked for permission from the head (校长), Joe Cox, and surprisingly, he got the green light. Cox even 41__________ Burch to keep the horse next to the head’s house. Then his dad helped Burch find the best route to school. It is along back streets and has 42__________cars than the others. For the return trip every afternoon, Burch leaves school at 5:45 pm. Even now, as the days grow shorter and colder, he 43__________ to ride his horse. “ I will ride my horse even in the coldest weather.” he says. Burch says the first time he sat on a horse as a four-year-old boy he was afraid. 44__________ now, “it’s what I do best.” It’s no surprise that he wants to be a cowboy (牛仔) when he grows up. “I love riding horses more than 45 __________ else.” He says, “It’s really a guy thing.” 小题1: A．normally B．casually C．differently D．actually 小题2: A．for B．since C．before D．after 小题3: A．empty B．crowded C．busy D．awful 小题4: A．sister’s B．brother’s C．mom’s D．dad’s 小题5: A．will B．won’t C．should D．shouldn’t 小题6: A．invited B．allowed C．taught D．urged 小题7: A．fewer B．few C．more D．many 小题8: A．begins B．stops C．continues D．refuses 小题9: A．so B．or C．and D．but 小题10: A．anything B．nothing C．everybody D．somebody
