Tomomi OkadaJapan My year abroad in the USA was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very fortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future. Laura FonsecaBrazil I spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt shy about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I had no chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home! Adam ChenHong Kong Studying in New Zealand was a fun experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a weekwith lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day. On Saturdays, my home stay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture. I’m really glad I went! 31. Tomomi thought that ___________ .

B Twelve, for me, was a hard year. I moved to a new town with my father after my mother died. I was terribly lonely and would cry myself to sleep each night. To cheer me up, my father bought an old horse for me. I named him Knight. Knight was not a handsome one. But I didn’t care. I loved him for no reason. I joined a riding club, but people all laughed at Knight’s looks. The other members rode beautiful horses. I never told others about how I felt. When Knight and I entered the events about appearance, we were quickly shown the gate. Nothing could turn Knight into a beauty. I had to be in the speed events. I chose the jumping race. One girl named Joyce rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons (藍(lán)絲帶 ). Of course, she didn’ t feel threatened (威脅 ) when I was in. She always thought she was the best and looked down on others. That made me decide to beat her though it would be my first race. For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Knight five miles to the arena (賽馬場 ). We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun. Our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate while I watched Joyce and her horse run fast and finish in first place. My turn finally came. We ran to the first fence (障礙物 ) and jumped it without trouble. Knight then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him towards the finishing line. As we crossed the finishing line, the crowd was shocked into silence. Knight and I had beaten Joyce and her beautiful horse by two seconds! I got much more than a blue ribbon that day. At twelve, I realized that I can be a winner if I want something very much and work hard for it. 34. The underlined expression “ shown the gate” most probably means “_________”. A. told how to enter the arena B. shown how to make the horse beautiful C. sad to leave the petition early D. told to enter the speed events 35. Why was the writer not confident of success? A. He was a rider without experience. B. He did not practice eno
