2014届高三英语二轮专题复习测试题：阅读理解 【山东省莱芜市凤城高中2013届质量检测】C The first place that I can well remember, was a large pleasant meadow（草地） with a pond of clear water in it. On one side was a field,and on the other was the gate to our master’s house,which stood by the roadside.While I was young I lived on my mothers milk, as I could not eat grass. In the daytime I ran by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. There were six young colts（小马） in the meadow beside me; they were older than I was; some were nearly as large as grown-up horses. I used to run with them, and had a lot of fun; we used to gallop(疾驰) together round and round the field as hard as we could go. Sometimes we had rather rough play, for they would frequently bite and kick as well as gallop. One day, when there was a good deal of kicking, my mother said to me , I wish you to pay attention to what I am going to say to you. The colts who live here are very good colts, but they have not learned manners. You have been well bred and well born; I hope you will grow up gentle and good, and never learn bad ways. I have never forgotten my mothers advice; I knew she was a wise old horse, and our master thought a great deal of her. Her name was Duchess, but he often called her Pet. Our master was a good, kind man. He gave us good food and kind words; he spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little children; we were all fond of him.There was a plowboy, Dick. He would have what he called fun with the colts, throwing stones and sticks at us to make us gallop. One day he was playing this game, and did not know that the master was in the next field; he was there, watching what was going on,Bad boy! he said, This is not the first time, nor the second, but it shall be the last. There—take your money and go home; I shall not want you on my farm again. So we never saw Dick any more. Old Daniel, the man who looked after the horses, was just as gentle as our master, so we were well off. 66.What is Paragraph I mainly about?
