（24-25八年级上·浙江杭州·期末）One day when I was standing in the cool shade of a big tree and my
master was 1 cleaning my feet, a boy came by with a big stick. He stopped and began to talk to my
master. “That’s a fine horse,” said the boy. “But can he run fast?”
“ 2 , he can,” said my master. “He is young, strong, and full of energy. However, I 3 not
push him hard without a reason.”
The boy laughed. “ 4 is the point (意义) of a strong horse if you don’t make him run fast? You’re
wasting him!”
My master looked up with a serious expression. “It is 5 a waste to treat an animal well,” he said.
“A horse like this will 6 you loyally (忠诚地) if you treat him kindly. Overwork or bad treatment will
7 break his spirit and destroy him. A good horse needs 8 and care to stay strong.”
The boy shook his 9 and walked away, looking a bit confused (迷惑). But I felt 10
and happy. My master knew how to manage me. He taught me to carry 11 with confidence and to face
danger without fear. I loved to run freely in the fields, feeling the wind rush past my ears and the grass under my
hooves. 12 I also knew I should follow orders because my master trusted me and never wanted to hurtme.
Later that day, my friend told me about his old owner, who often hit him and made him pull heavy things
up high hills. “My legs are 13 now because of it,” he said sadly. “I wish I had a master like yours. He
seems to really 14 you.”
Hearing his story made me feel even more thankful for the kindness I had experienced. I realized then that
not all horses were as lucky as I was, and I 15 myself to work my best for my kind master.
