阅读理解专题突破练5 　专题突破练第17页　? 第一节 A 体裁:记叙文　　词数:315　　用时:6分钟 I remember the first time I got on a horse.When I was a little boy aged two,my mom agreed to let me take a short ride and that was it!From then on, I drove my parents crazy begging for a horse. When I was four,I had mutism,in which children stop speaking in certain social situations.I went days,weeks,months without a sound at school.At most,I might quietly whisper to a friend.I suffered silently through school until I was ten when a psychologist had an idea.He asked me what I wanted more than anything else in the world.He explained I was going to be given an opportunity to work for that.And I was permitted to whisper the answer in my mother’s ear,“A horse.” I was to get a pony,but I had to live up to my end of the bargain.I had a chart of weekly tasks I had to accomplish.I had to answer the phone five times per week,something I had never done before.I had to say one word to my teacher at school and the list went on.For a child with mutism,saying one word to someone can be like climbing the high mountains.I did everything that was asked of me and the day came.His name was Sequoia,whom I fell in love with immediately.When I was in Sequoia’s presence,I forgot all about my problems and felt strong and secure.
