Question

Twist was the name of an old champion racing horse. He was past thirty years old, but the heart of the true1 still beat with the great spirit. However, I knew little about the 2 that the old horse’s spirit would have on my daughter.
My daughter Stacy had ever had a 3 experience with a runaway horse. She was just eight at the time, and a terrifying 4 accompanied the disaster. Although she broke no bones, her 5 , love for horses and the desire to learn to ride were 6. No matter how my wife and I tried, we had no 7 in curing the damage caused that day. But when she was thirteen, a turning point came. One day as I saw Stacy look into the eye of the 8 fellow in the stall(牲口棚), I knew this was going to be the beginning of a 9 relationship.
Fortunately, Stacy’s accident had not weakened her love for 10 in general, and this small opening was all that Twist needed to create an unusual bond(紐帶). In the following weeks, Stacy began to express daily 11 in coming to the stall with me. She 12 spent time with him, feeding, brushing and combing him, all the 13 talking to him about her life.
Then one day 14 I was readying one horse for a ride, I noticed the old guy’s 15expression and desire to be included, too. So I asked Stacy if she wanted to take Twist out for a ride. In 16, Stacy looked once again into the old man’s eye. That moment, their two spirits 17 and completed the bond that had been forming over a couple of months. Continuing to look deep into his eyes, Stacy didn’t 18 . She only nodded yes. Moments later, I saw them riding 19 together, Stacy winning renewed confidence and desire, and Twist winning his medal of a child’s20.
