C Thirteen can be a challenging age. Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, I also had to deal with my parents’ bitter divorce, a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded town. When we moved, my beloved panion, a small brown pony had to be sold. I was heartbroken and terribly lonely. I couldn’t eat or sleep and cried all the time. Finally, realizing how much I missed my pony, my father bought me another horse, Cowboy. Cowboy was without doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved him beyond all reasons. I joined a riding club. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly ”shown the gate”. I knew nothing could turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to pete would be in the timed speed events. I chose the jumping race. For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home, totally exhausted. All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. I sat at the gate and sweated all out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place. My turn finally came. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped over it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line. No cheers filled the air. The end of our run was met with surprised silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds. I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I’d always e out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it. I can be the owner of my fate. 28.

Cowboy lost in the event of being judged by appearance D. both Becky and the author won in the jumping event D Perhaps, most parents have tried to give their children a head start on education with get – smart videos and enrichment activities as early as infancy (嬰兒期 ), but free play is often sacrificed, so the American Academy of Pediatrics says that the best medicine for busy children is an increase in traditional “playtime”. Studies suggest that unstructured play can help children bee creative, discover their own interests, develop problem – solving abilities, and relate to others socially, according to a report prepared by two academy mittees for release Monday at the group’s annual meeting. On the contrary, a lack of such playing can create stress for both children and parents, and it also cause obesity (肥胖 ) when children spend too much time sitting in front of educational videos. The report notes lack of playing could even lead to depression in many children. The reports think the lack of playtime lies in the fact that parents want to have super – smart children and safe places for children to play is decreasing.
