One day we were waiting outside one of the London parks when a black dirty cab (马车) drove up beside ours. The horse was brown, with bones that showed through her coat. There was a hopeless look in her eyes and her breathing was very bad. I wondered where I’d seen her before. Then she looked straight at me.

“Black Beauty, is that you?” she asked.

It was Ginger! But how different she looked! She used to be in good shape and full of life. I moved closer to her so that we could have a quiet talk, and it was a sad story that she told me. After twelve months’ rest at Earlshall, she was considered to be ready to work again, and was sold to a gentleman. She got on well for a little while, but after a long run one day, she became ill again and was seen by a horse doctor, then sold. In this way, she went from owner to owner several times, each one poorer than the one before.

“So at last I was bought by a man who keeps a number of cabs and horses, and hires them out.” said Ginger. “You look happy and comfortable with life as a cab horse, and I’m glad, but it’s different for me. They whip (抽打) me and work me seven days a week.”

“You used to stand up and fight when people treated you bad,” I said.

“Yes, I did once.” said Ginger. “But men are stronger than we are, and if they’re awful and have no feelings, then ____________. Oh, I wish the end would come.”

I was very sad. I put my nose against hers but could find nothing to say that would cheer her up. I thought she was glad to see me, because she said “You’re the only friend I’ve ever had”.

A few weeks after this, a cab with a horse in it passed by ours. It was a brown horse with a long thin neck and didn’t move at all. I believe it was Ginger. I hoped it was, because then her troubles would be over.

You may have heard of people who are allergic(过敏)to seafood, smoke or pets. But did you know that some people were allergic to Wi-Fi signals(信号)?

Rose White, a 44-year-old woman from Britain, first found herself being allergic to Wi-Fi signals in 2015. She had a cough, heart trouble and great pains in her head when she stayed at the places covered with Wi-Fi signals.

Rose has tried many ways to keep away from Wi-Fi signals In the past six months, she either slept in her car or in tent which she had put up in the woodland and in the fields. She even tried sleeping in a shed (棚子). Being completely tired, Rose had no choice but to quit her job and moved 370 kilometers away from her home to avoid Wi-Fi signals, but failed. Because of the hard life, she got a stomach problem.

She is now living in a small house in the rural area in England. There are far fewer Wi-Fi signals.However, the house, which belongs to her friend, will be sold to others, so she, has to move again soon.

Rose is planning to move to a more rural area. She is also planning to buy a camper van(野营车)so that she can drive away from Wi-Fi signals whenever she is feeling uncomfortable. As she can not work to make money, she has to raise money online. She is hoping to raise 15,000 pounds. So far,she has raised over 1, 600 pounds. She still has a long way to go.
