    Cowboys in the US

        Cowboys played an important role in the settling of the west. Ranching (牧场经营)was a big industry and cowboys helped to run the ranches.1

    The Roundup

        Each spring and fall the cowboys would work on the “roundup”2 Cattle would walk freely much of the year and then the cowboys would need to bring them in. In order to tell what cattle belonged to their ranch, the cattle would have a special mark burned into them called a “ brand “.

    Horse and Saddle (马鞍)

        The most important item of any cowboy was his horse and saddle. The saddles were often custom-made (定制的) and, next to his horse, probably the most valuable item a cowboy owned.3

    Clothing

        Cowboys wore special clothing that helped them with their jobs. They wore large 10-gallon hats to protect them from the sun and the rain. They wore special cowboy boots that helped them to get in and out of the stirrups (马镫)when riding a horse4 Many cowboys wore chaps on the outsides of their legs to help protect them from sharp bushes that their horse may rub up against.

    Cowboy Code

        5 The code included such rules as being polite and respectful, always saying “howdy”, not waving at a man on a horse (you should nod) , never riding another man's horse without his permission,always helping someone in need, and never putting on another man's hat.

    A. They herded cattle, repaired buildings, and took care of the horses.

    B. The cowboys of the Old West had an unwritten code that they lived by.

    C. This when the cowboys would bring in all the cattle from the open ranch.

    D. Horses were so important that anyone caught stealing a horse was usually hanged!

    E. Their clothing grew out of practical need and the environment in which they worked.

    F. This was especially important if they fell, so they wouldn't get dragged by their horse.

    G. They have deep historic roots dating back to the earliest European settlers of America.

        Too many of us are waiting too long to live our best lives. We keep putting everything off until tomorrow. Then, before we know it, we find ourselves asking, "How did it get so late so soon?"

        So we'd better make today the beginning of our new life. Take time to realize what we want and need. Take time to love, laugh, cry, and learn. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Here are five things we should start doing today:

        Accept ourselves. The secret to happiness and success is the acceptance of ourselves.

        {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Don't sit back and let things happen to us. Go out and make things happen. We are what we do, not what we say we'll do. Stop saying "I wish" and start saying "I will". Turn our dreams into plans.

        Do the work. We can't underestimate(低估) a person who always works hard. Be that person.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Always remember that the task ahead of us is never greater than the strength within us. Do what's right, not what's easy. Our dreams are worth it.

        {#blank#}5{#/blank#} We can't force things to happen; we can only drive ourselves trying crazily. There's a time and place for everything. So don't force what's not yet supposed to fit into our life. When it's meant to be, it will be. Work hard, and be patient.

    A. Take positive action.

    B. Enjoy every moment of life.

    C. Life is shorter than it often seems.

    Home libraries can be a dynamic expression of the owner's personality. Creating a home library is a fun way to display your interests while establishing a special space for reading.

    What room should I use for my home library?{#blank#}2{#/blank#} While reading in a room with big windows and lots of light is refreshing, storing books in natural light is harmful to them. Basements heavy with humidity (湿气) will cause mold (霉菌) and attract insects.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    When you started using the public library, you probably learned about Melvil Dewey and his system for ordering libraries. The Dewey Decimal Classification System has ten broad categories for organizing books, including philosophy, religion and the arts.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} For example, when you want a book on modern art, you head to the 700th block.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Your home library may or may not be as large as your local public library, but a good system of organization will still help you find the book you want quickly.

This system will also allow you to highlight a particular passion, such as an extensive collection of World War II history,

    A. How do I get everything to fit?

    B. Each category is assigned a number.

    C. Almost everybody wants a home library.
