Ⅳ. Reading:
Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events like love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells real-life stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated and difficult, it is good to hear about simple, ordinary people.
Country music is sometimes called country-western music. It comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United Stated. The other is traditional cowboy music from the American West. The singers usually play guitars or electric guitars when they sing.
Country music became very poplar in the South. During World War II, thousands of people from the South moved to the Northeast and the Midwest to work in factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the south and learned to like country there. Slowly it became popular all over the United States.
In 1925 a radio program from Nashville, Tennessee, started to play country music. The program was called the “Grand Ole Opry”, which means the grand or wonderful old opera. Today this program broadcasts from the largest television studio in the world, and Nashville is the center of country music. Musicians record their music in more than 60 recording studios that are open 24 hours a day! There are also hotels, stores that sell cowboy clothes, and tours for people to see the homes of famous country music singers. Nashville also has an entertainment park and the Country Music Hall of Fame ---- a place like a museum with pictures and souvenirs of famous country music stars. Millions of people visit Nashville every year to hear country music and experience the country life.
The music that started with cowboys in the west and poor mountain people in the East is now popular all over the world.

Ⅲ. Reading:
New York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen on horseback. The New York Police have 170 horses that they use in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to feed, but it is even more expensive to take care of them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact, they need more than 8000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five these blacksmiths in the whole United States.
The cost of shoeing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, and it takes a skilled blacksmiths two or three hours to do the job.
A blacksmith’s job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of plain metal and then fit it to the horse’s hoof (蹄). The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse’s leg while he works. Clearly, a blacksmith must be very strong. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horses ---- for before the blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get his horse to lift its leg.
