一：典题技法指导
When Grandpa was a young man, there’d been herds of livestock spread across the mountain. By the time I was born there was a whole herd of wild hors on the mountain.
But wild hors don’t yield easily. My brother Shawn and I would spend days, even weeks, earning the hor’s trust. Then we would stroke(轻抚) its long face and gradually, over more weeks, work our hands around its wide neck and down its muscular body. After a month of this we’d bring out the saddle(马鞍), and the hor would toss its head suddenly and with such violence that the halter(缰绳) would snap or the rope break.

That evening, Shawn saddled a new hor, a copper-coated mare, for the first time. She was ready for a short ride, Shawn said, so we mounted, him on the mare, me on Bud. We made it about half a mile up the mountain, winding our way through the wheat fields. Then I did something foolish. I got too clo to the mare, and with no warning she leapt forward, thrusting her weight onto her front legs, and with her hind legs kicked Bud full in the chest.
Bud went wild.
Shawn caught up.
