The following day, Max was showing how to turn. As our eyes followed him down the slope (斜坡), he 9 disappeared. “Where did he go ” I asked Lily, as we headed for where he’d disappeared. We discovered Max at the 10 of a big hole. “I think it’s broken,” he said, 11 his left leg.

Aged 7, she was sweet-natured and well-trained; the only 1 with Holly was her lively imagination. I was often surprised by Holly’s reaction to be 2 by rabbits, the wind or even shadows (影子) —sometimes her own shadow!
One day, as we headed back from a ride on the beach, Holly and I were 3 the way over the hilly area. When we were following a trail through the trees, Holly suddenly 4 down and began to move her ears quickly.

At the bottom of the hill, Holly suddenly stopped and stood 6 . I followed her stare to the path (小路) ahead. There was a brown snake! This time it was my 7 to get scared—I was on a 8 horse, leading a group of eight inexperienced young riders!

I’ve heard that horses have a better sense of 11 than dogs, but I hadn’t seen it shown before that moment. 12 , while we waited in reality for just a second or two—but for what felt like a century—the snake awoke and glided off into the bush (灌木丛). Holly then 13 , guiding the horses with more care.
It was at that moment that I realized this: Holly had been so watchful just because she took the 14 to keep us safe. Following in the serious footsteps of the lead horse, not one of the other horses showed any fear, not a single horse went 15 and none of us got hurt.

“A worm ”
“My scores are going down, as if everything that I know is being eaten away. And I think I’m going to 9 the coming exams. Everything is going wrong.”
