Hi Christine,

Sorry I haven’t emailed lately —I’ve been very busy since becoming a volunteer for the Riding for the Disabled Association.

Every Saturday, I help to get the horses ______51_____ for the disabled(殘疾) riders. Many more disabled people want to ride _____52______ than you’d imagine. It’s a disadvantage that I don’t know how to ride —I’d love to get on long rides with the riders— but I’ll learn  _______53____. Right now, I’m just happy to be able to lead the horses around for the disabled riders.

I’m ______54_____ helping to organize a sale, which will be _____55______ next month. It’s a lot more work than helping the disabled. I need to collect second-hand things to sell at the sale. There are _____56______ things available(獲得的) than I thought, but I’m sure we’ll have  ______57_____ next month.

I hope the sale raises more money than last month’s walk. It was rainy, so too few people took part in the event. Last week, we held an auction(拍賣(mài)). The auction took much less _____58______ to organize than the walk. _____59______, for some reason, people offered too little money for the things, so we didn’t raise enough money.

I’m ______60_____ you some pictures in the letter, as well as a speech I gave last week.                                                                                                                           Robin

　　When the old car rumbled toward the tiny station, Stanley rose to his feet, trying to make the most of his five foot, four inch frame．The farmer, Alphonse Lapine, shook his head and complained, “You're a skinny thing．” On the way to his dairy farm, Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids．“Money's tight．You'll get room and board．You'll get up at dawn for milking, and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again．Ten dollars a week．Sundays off．” Stanley nodded．He had never been on a farm before, but he took the job．

　　From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family．They made fun of the way he dressed and talked．He could do nothing right．The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper, criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake．The oldest son, 13-year-old Armand, constantly played nasty tricks on him．But the kind-hearted Stanley never responded．
