peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole，” kelly said.“he was hurting. he needed a place where he could express himself. the riding field became that place for him.”for the last 30 years, kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her nonprofit, ebony horsewomen. the program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young people a year. by exposing those children to horsemanship, kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around.“we use horses as a hook to create pride, esteem and healing，” said kelly, 66.“they learn that they have ability. they just have to unlock it.”“when you teach a child to ride a horse, they learn they are the center of their environment，” said

the reading patterns of young people, and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kinds of books. a recent report, which examined in detail the reading habits of primary school children, showed that even sevenyearold boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read. girls, in general, read more, and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories. boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else books about their hobbies.these tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. apparently girls read more in general, but more fiction in particular. you could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction: magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult womens magazines. teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies: motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.adult reading tastes are also the subject of research. again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men. it seems that the majority of women still want love stories. there has also been some analysis of what men actually read. apparently only 38 percent of men read anything, but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of actionpacked (情节起伏跌宕的) stories of space or gunmen.语篇解读：研究表明，孩子的阅读习惯在很早就已形成且保持不变，直到他们长大成为青少年。9what did the recent research on childrens reading show?achildren begin to read very fast at an early age. bchildren

border conflict between neighboring countries, the parentteen war is about boundaries：where is the line between what i control and what you do?both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.in part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.from the parents point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents complete unreasonableness.and of course, the_teens_see_it_in_exactly_the_same_way,_except_oppositely.both feel trapped.in this article, ill describe three nowin situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.the first nowin situation is quarrels over unimportant things.examples include the color of the teens hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the childs failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends, second, blaming, the goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.third, needing to be right.it doesnt matter what the topic is politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority someone who actually knows something and therefore to command respect.unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, theyll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了父母和青少年子女之间发生冲突的问题，并且分析了发生冲突的主要原因。12why does the author compare the parentteen war to a border conflict?aboth can continue for generations.bboth are about where to draw the
