21、   One night, John came into the stable(马厩), calling, “Wake up, Beauty!”

He put my saddle and bridle on and rode up to the front door of the house. The Squire was there.

“John,” he said, “Mrs. Gordon is very ill. Ride to the doctor’s and give him this note.”

“Now, Beauty, do your best,” said John.

I went as fast as possible.

When we arrived at Dr. White’s house, John told him: “Mrs. Gordon is very ill. Squire Gordon thinks she is going to die. Please go to see her immediately.”

“Yes,” said the doctor, “but my son has my horse. Can I have yours?” he asked.

The doctor was heavier than John, and not such a good rider. But I did my very best and went as fast as possible. When we got to Birtwick Park, Squire Gordon was at the door. The doctor went into the house with him, and Joe led me to the stable. I was glad to be home. My legs were shaking, and I was very wet. Joe was young and he forgot to put a warm blanket on me. Then he gave me cold water to drink. Soon all my body began to shake, and I felt very cold. A long time later John came back. He covered me with two or three warm blankets, and ran to the house for some hot water. He gave me some warm food, and then I think I went to sleep.

Over and over again, John said to himself: “Stupid(愚蠢的) boy! Stupid boy!”

I was now very sick, and John was nursing me night and day. The Squire came to see me. “Poor Beauty,” he said one day. “You saved Mrs Gordon’s life.”

John said, “Black Beauty went so fast, he seemed to know what was wrong.”

22、Researchers found that people who go to live concerts and museums live longer than those who do not. Experts from a London university looked at over 6,700 British people for 15 years. They examined how often the people went out and where they went. They found that over-50s who regularly went to concerts were around 30 percent less likely to die in the next 14 years. The over-50s could lengthen their lives by looking at “beautiful arts”. These include art centers, concerts, museums, and the opera and theater. In addition, people who often go to concerts could have more fun.

The lead researcher said money was important in whether or not people went to concerts. She wrote, “Over 40 percent of people in the least wealthy group reported that they never took part in cultural activities.” The UK Health Secretary believes the research. He said arts and culture could improve things like mental health, ageing and loneliness. The UK’s National Health Service will use the arts to improve people’s happiness and health.

24、Ten-year-old English girl Amelia liked the delicious bread. But she didn’t like the frogs’ legs (田鸡腿).

“No, thanks,” she said.

“But she made us try the frogs’ legs,” added her mother. “They are not as bad as we thought. They taste like chicken.”

Last August, with the help of FHA, the family traveled to France with seven other families of Year 6 students. It was their first visit to France. In fact, it was their first holiday of any kind of five years.

“If I don’t work, I don’t get paid,” said Amelia’s father. “I hardly get home before 7:30 pm. We have little time to get together as a family. Thanks to FHA, we had a wonderful holiday last August.”

Family Holiday Association (FHA) is a charity. It helps around 2000 poor families a year to take a week’s holiday. “There are at least two and a half million British families who can’t pay for any kind of holiday,” said John McDonald, the leader of FHA. But if a family wants to get help from FHA, it should have had no holiday for four years and get money less than £26,000 a year.
