The cowboy is the hero of many movies. He is, even today, a symbol of courage and adventure. But what was the life of the cowboy really like
The cowboy’s job is clear from the word cowboy. Cowboys were men who took care of the cows and other cattle. The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef from these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the train. Part of the cowboy’s job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns.
The trips were called "cattle drives". A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much, each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses several times each day.
Cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive, they branded the cattle. They burned a mark on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But these marks didn’t stop thieves. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from thieves. Thieves made the dangerous trip even more dangerous.
Although their work was very difficult and dangerous, cowboys did not earn much money. They were paid badly. Yet cowboys liked their ways of life. They lived in the wild and open country. They lived a life of adventure and freedom.

Taking public transportation in the United States, you can often see people reading books on their way to school or work. But in China, I rarely see people reading during their free time.
Are people's attitudes toward reading different here Not really, Data released by Amazon China in December 2017 show that Chinese people still read a lot. They simply prefer e-books over regular books.
However, other data show that reading is still more popular in the US than in China. Is there a reason for this difference I’m not sure. What I do know is that China has a rich history of literature. From classic novels like Romance of the Three Kingdoms to the modern science-fiction books The Three-Body Problem, Chinese writers have created many fantastic written works.
Perhaps the difference starts from childhood. Reading textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you might not feel like reading for fun. Chinese students definitely have to read more and do more homework than US students. So it’s no wonder that they might not want to read much in their spare time.
But learning to love reading can be great. Reading can open doors to places, people and ideas that you cannot imagine. Even just a single book has the power to change your own beliefs and attitudes. Where will your next book take you
From Paragraph 1, what do we know about people in the US
A. Most people take public transportation to work.
B. Many of them have the habit of reading.
C. Students have homework to do on their way to school.
D. They read books that are left behind on public transportation.
Why is reading less popular in China, according to the author
A. Because Chinese people prefer to watch plays instead of reading.
B. Because Chinese people have less free time than people in the US.
C. Because Chinese students have too much homework to do.
D. Because Chinese people don't have as rich a literature history as people in the US.

B. Reading can bring many benefits.
C. US students don't need to do homework.
