摘要： Dawn has arrived.Dozens of horses are grazing leisurely at the foot of Tashi Tseri Hill in the Tibet Autonomous Region’s Lhoka City.Atop the mountain is Yumbulagang Palace,the oldest palace in Tibet.Most horse owners,who live off leading horses for tourists,are either chatting or throwing dice outside a teahouse nearby.Upon seeing us,some come over.I pick a white horse with a colorful woolen saddle.What a steed!

摘要： Do you remember the old fairy tales you were told as a child?Your favourite stories no doubt included some of the more well-known fantasy creatures,such as mermaids,dragons,and unicorns.If you have read ancient Greek myths,then you may also be familiar with creatures like the centaur(half human,half horse),the satyr(a human with goat-like features),and perhaps the griffin which is often depicted as an eagle with the body of a lion.

摘要： 皇家山公园辟建于1876年,由美国著名的景观设计师奥姆斯特德负责设计,这位设计师设计过许多美国的著名公园,包括纽约的中央公园。The charming,leafy and wide area of Parc du Mont-Royal is a wonderful place for a variety of outdoor activities.The wooded slopes and grassy land have won-derful views that make it all the more popular for jogging,picnicking,horseback riding,cycling and throwing Frisbees(飞盘).Winter brings skating,tobogganing(乘撬滑雪运动)and cross-country skiing.

摘要： Background: Fractures in the limbs of racehorses are common, resulting among other factors, as the result of repeated ground reaction forces on bones and joints, leading to catastrophic failure. Aim: To quantify ground impact transmission through the limb bones of un-shod healthy horses using the non-invasive technique of acoustic myography (AMG). Methods: Four sites were selected for AMG measurements at the walk and trot, hoof wall (site 1) and sites 2 - 4, metacarpal 3, carpals and the radius of the left forelimb of two healthy horses. Measurements were on both rubber and concrete. AMG of the equine hind limb suspensory system was made and analyzed (amplitude and timing) for the proximal suspensory ligament (PSL) and the SDFT/DDFT. Results: AMG signal amplitude at site 1 (1.5 ± 0.2 versus 1.1 ± 1.5) was not found to be significantly different at the trot compared to the walk;however, sites 2, 3 and 4 were all significantly different when compared between the two gaits;site 2 P = 0.008;site 3 P = 0.006;site 4 P = 0.005. AMG signals recorded on the rubber surface had smaller amplitude than the equivalent signal and site on the concrete surface. Ground Reaction Force (GRF) transmission in the equine forelimb was 22 m/sec, whilst that of the hind limb suspensory system was 25 m/sec. Conclusion: Findings indicate that GRFs are transmitted proximally along the limb at considerable speeds, that they are dampened by tissues and structures in the limb, and that the GRFs are present and detectable proximal to the fetlock joint.

摘要： Giant pandas are commonly perceived as clean and cuddly animals.In the wild,the bamboo-eating giant pandas(Huang et al.,2021)are dirty,and perhaps worse,field observations have shown that giant pandas are so attracted to horse manure that they cannot resist rolling in it(Zhou et al.,2020).This strange behavior requires further study to understand.In the natural environment,feces are like an identification card;Animals can learn about the sex and mating status of other individuals of their species(Zhou et al.,2019)and identify the presence of predators nearby by smelling the feces(Linklater et al.,2013;Brodie et al.,2016).After a decade of field observation,Chinese scientists have determined that horse manure strongly attracts wild giant pandas in the Qinling region,a behavior that appears rare among other animals.A video taken by the research team in Shaanxi’s Foping National Nature Reserve showed a wild giant panda sniffing,rolling,rubbing its cheek against,and coating the manure all over its body after encountering the fresh horse manure.

摘要： 阿拉伯马世代在干旱少雨、食物匮乏的沙漠环境中演化、成长。他们常年与人为伴,这使得它们性情温和、亲近人类。The Arabian Horse is a horse native to the Middle East and known to be the most beautiful horse in the world.It is also one of the oldest horse breeds known to date.The Arabian Horse,originally living in the desert regions of the Middle East,is famous for its legendary strength and endurance,which result from its life inextreme environments.Nicknamed prince of the desert,he lived during the first millennium(一千年)with nomadic Bedouins and gained his speed and robustness.

摘要： Listen!Can you hear the neigh(嘶鸣)of the horses?It is a horse racing(赛马)in Longchamp!Longchamp is located in a large park in western Paris,France.The first race run there was in 1857.After that,horse racing became very popular in France.Many artists were fond of it.They usually showed races from the side.

摘要： In ancient times,a man wanted to go to the State of Chu from Wei,but he went in the wrong direction.His horse ran very fast and his driver was very capable.The State of Chu was in the south,but he insisted on going towards the north.How could he get there finally?After reading the story,I understand a truth.No matter what you do,you must choose the right way.

摘要： Horses are strong and beautiful animals.There are more than 400 breeds of horses.Some are large,and others are small.Small ones are called ponies.Horses can travel long distances while carrying a rider.Some can also pull heavy loads.Before people had cars,they used to use horses for travel and work.Today you don''t see many horses.But some people still keep them and ride them for fun.

摘要： The Great Wall was continuously built from the 3rd century BC to the 17th century AD on the northern border of the country as the great military defense project of successive Chinese empires,with a total length of more than 20,000 km.The Great Wall begins in the east at Shanhaiguan in Hebei Province and ends at Jiayuguan in Gansu Province to the west.Its main body consists of walls,horse tracks,watch towers and shelters on the wall,and includes fortresses and passes along the wall.
