youve got a bit of water on your coat!” the man at the gas station said to me. “no, its pretty fine,” i replied, checking my sleeve (袖子). “oh, right. a pony (马驹) bit me earlier.”as it happened, the bite was virtually painless: more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child. the pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near haytor, and perhaps thought id jumped in ahead of him.the reason why the ponies here are naughty is that haytor is a tourist-heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods, despite signs asking them not to. by feeding the ponies, tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather during the areas annual pony drift(迁移). the purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked, the baby ones can be stopped from feeding on their mothers milk, and those whove gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area. some of them are also later sold, in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by natural england. three weeks ago, i witnessed a small near-disaster a few miles west of here. while walking, i noticed a pony roll over on his back. “hello!” i said to him, assuming he was just rolling for fun, but he was very still and, as i got closer, i saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily. i began to properly worry about him. fortunately, i managed to get in touch with a dartmoors livestock protection officer and send her a photo. the officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony. the pony had actually been trapped between two rocks. the farmer freed him, and he began to run happily around again. dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies, which play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area. many people are working hard to preserve these ponies, and trying to come up with plans to find a sustainable(可持续的) future for one of dartmoors most financially-troubled elements. 32. why was the authors coat a little wet?a. a pony bit him at the gas station earlier. b. it was raining slightly out there near haytor. c. he had his sleeve bitten by a pony near haytor. d. the man at the gas station wetted it by coincidence.33. which of the following is not the purpose of the annual pony drift?a. the number of horses can be put under control in this way. b. the horses can be prevented from being hit by tourists cars.c. their health can be examined when they have been gathered up.d. the baby ponies can be stopped from feeding on their mothers milk.34. what was the authors first reaction when he saw a pony roll on its back?
