Ⅰ.阅读理解
Raised by a single mother in Hartford, Fred Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another. He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for.
“I was walking around with a lot on my shoulders，”he said.“I couldn't handle it. I didn't care about life anymore.”But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly.
“I was seven when I met Mrs Kelly.I wasn't used to strictness. I wasn't used to hearing the word ‘no’，”said Wright, now 17.
Kelly, a former soldier and an equestrian (骑手), took Wright under her wing and helped him find hope in an unlikely place — on a horse.
“Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole，”Kelly said.“He was hurting. He needed a place where he could express himself. The riding field became that place for him.”
For the last 30 years, Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her non profit, Ebony Horsewomen. The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young people a year. By exposing those children to horsemanship, Kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around.
“We use horses as a hook to create pride, esteem and healing，”said Kelly, 66.“They learn that they have ability. They just have to unlock it.”
“When you teach a child to ride a horse, they learn they are the center of their environment，”said Kelly.“Once they make that connection, they can change what happens in school, at home and in the community.”

A．Because his mother couldn't afford the fees.
B．Because his parents got divorced.

2．How did Patricia Kelly help Fred Wright
A．She provided him with a home.
B．She encouraged him to learn science.
C．She exposed him to the riding field.
D．She found him a better school.
3．What do we know about the program Ebony Horsewomen
A．It is intended to make money.
B．It was founded by Patricia Kelly.
C．It aims to protect the environment.
D．It serves as a shelter for homeless kids.
4．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
More and more passengers are complaining about texting and driving. If a texting driver is making you nervous but you're not sure how to bring the topic up, here are some ideas：
__1__ You can say, “I'm sorry, but I get really nervous when people text and drive.” Wait to see how the person responds. Most people will admit it's probably not a good habit or they'll at least put down the phone.
The subtle approach. __2__ You can say, “Would you like me to type for you since you're driving？” Or, since many states are handing out tickets for texting and driving, you could say, “I've seen a lot of policemen out today. You might not want to text right now.”
__3__ If your whole group thinks a driver is dangerous, make a plan together. Take away the driver's car keys: It's what you're supposed to do with drunk drivers, and studies show that texting drivers are even more dangerous. If several people boycott (联合抵制) a driver, he or she will get the message.
The life saving approach. If someone continues to text and drive, avoid riding with that person. __4__ A little shame makes people think twice about bad habits.
__5__ Get out of the car as soon as you can. Next time that driver gives you a ride, say, “No, thanks.”
A．The direct approach.
B．The group approach.
C．The conservative approach.
D．As we all know, it's not just young drivers who text.
E．Let texting drivers know you're rejecting their service.
F．If a driver absolutely won't stop texting or laughs at you for being nervous, don't argue.
G．If you don't feel comfortable telling a driver to quit texting openly, try to tell them indirectly.
