I was nervous,no doubt about it,but I felt pretty fearfully sitting there unmoving on top of the horse,so I picked up my canter（使馬慢跑）.I went a few times around the stadium,saying I was warming up my horse.But really,I was taking some time to collect my thoughts and prepare myself before I jumped.Or to put it in a more simple and realistic tone,I was delaying.

Finally the time eame when I had to just suck it up and jump the horse.I swallowed,turned,and began heading straight for the jump.My palms began to sweat and I tightened myself.There was no turning back from this now.

I sat up in my jumping position as my horse picked up his speed to jump.Fear rushed through me as well as a sense of excitement.Before I knew it,I was up in the air,flying over the jump.As scared was,I was determined not to mess this up.My horse landed with a small beat on the other side of jump and continued cantering around the field like nothing had ever happened.Miraculously,I was seated firmly on the horse,unharmed.Surprised,I slowed down to a smooth running to process the that I hadn't just been thrown off a leaping animal.

My riding instructor congratulated me,proud that I got through it.I admit that I was proud as well.I'm not usually the kind of person that faces their fears.Instead,I usually run away from them.

2.How did the author feel before the horse landed?

a.interested b.excited c.frightened d.proud

Do you know how to play a game called "Musical Chair"? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder(錄音機(jī)). You can even use a radio.

Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in two, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite(相反的) direction to the chair next to it.

The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk around the chairs . Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast, they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.

The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chair. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.

At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.

I just realized that while children are dogs-loyal and affectionate-teenagers are cats.

1. You feed it, train it, and boss it around. It puts its head on your knee and gazes at you as if you were a Rembrandt painting. It bounds indoors with enthusiasm when you call it. However, around age 13, your adoring little puppy(child) turns into a big old cat(teenager). Then when you tell it to come inside, it looks amazed, as if wondering who died. Instead of following your doorsteps, it disappears. 2.

Not realizing that the dog is now a cat, you think something must be desperately wrong within. Since you're the one who raised it, you assume that you did something wrong. Now you're dealing with a cat. Filled with guilt and fear, you redouble your efforts to make your pet behave. 3. Call it, and it runs way. Tell it to sit, and it jumps on the counter.

Instead of continuing to act like a dog owner, you can learn to behave like a cat owner. Put a dish of food near the door, and let it come to you. 4. You sit still, and it will come, seeking that warm, comforting lap it has not entirely forgotten. Be there to open the door for it. One day your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen, give you a big kiss and say, "You've been working hard all day. Let me get those dishes for you."5.

A. It's so easy to be a dog owner.

B. Children as cats can turn to their parents.

C. You won't see it again until it gets hungry.

D. Then you'll realize your cat is a dog again.

E. Teenagers can understand and appreciate their parents' love.

F. But remember that a cat needs your help and your affection, too.

G. However, all the efforts made before now produce the opposite of the desired result.

A conflict at work is common.If you can avoid conflict,it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants.Since the potential problem has not been removed,it will simply reappear later.1.

◆Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work.On many occasions（場(chǎng)合）,conflict and disagreement are likely to happen.But when a conflict happens it is not the end of the world.2.Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly.The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.

◆3.Solve a conflict when it starts,as it only gets worse with time going by.Everyone is waiting for the other to admit he or she is wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while.It is necessary to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.

◆Ask nicely.If somebody has done something that makes you angry,or if you don't understand their viewpoints or actions,simply asking nicely about them can make a world of difference.Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you.Sometimes there is a good reason why that person does what he or she does,and a potential conflict disappears right there.4.

◆Appreciate.5.Tell them why it is worth it to you to solve the conflict.This can be difficult as few people find it easy to appreciate a person they disagree strongly with,but it is a great way to move forward.

A.Praise the other part in the conflict

B.Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later.

C.Invite the other person to talk about the situation.

D.Do remember to make an enquiry,not an accusation of any sort.

E.Here are the necessary steps to effectively get rid of conflicts at work

F.On the contrary,it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process.

G.Clear thinking is unlikely to happen while an argument continues to boil over.
