The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to feed,but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets,they need special horseshoes. In fact,they need more than 8,000 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 of these blacksmiths in the whole United States. 　　The cost of shoing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars,and it takes a good blacksmith 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 metal and then fit it to the horse's foot. 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 storng. But even more important,he must be able to deal with horses——for before the blacksmith can begin his work,he has to get the horse to lift its leg. 　　One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city.

But when you write one,send me a letter and let me know how much. There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all t he checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars. My part-time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers' kids filled in the financial gaps. 　　"You know what you want to be,and they'll tell you what to take,"my father went on. “When you get a job,be sure it's honest,and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town,and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you. 　　Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old,broken Bible that he had read so often,the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbours. I knew he would miss it. I knew,though,that I must take it. 　　He didn't say read this every morning. He just said,"This can help you if you will let it.” 　　Did it help?I got through college without being a burden on the family. I have been able to make money since. 　　46.

As time goes by,it becomes less and less,so what are we going to do when it runs out?Perhaps we will go back to using horses,carriages and bicycles. 　　In the Second World War,some people didn't use gas made from petroleum（石油）in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didn't go fast,but they ran,so this was better than nothing. However,in the future,we can't cut down all our trees to make gas;we need our trees for other things,too. 　　Besides different types of gas,we can also use electricity （电） to run our cars， but first we must make the electricity!Some countries have coal and they make electricity with that,but we might not always have coal,either.

We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in,the water turns the turbines and then it goes out,it turns them again. 　　Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future？ 　　51.

Then, in 1789, President George Washington named Novem ber 26th as the Day of Thanksgiving. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln changed the da te, and said that the last Thursday in November should be Thanksgiving Day. 　　Nowadays, North Americans around the world get together with their families on this day to eat good food and have a happy time. 　　1.
