七、阅读下面的材料,根据内容回答问题。
I'm Sue. I'm 14 and I live in England. My father works in a horse-riding school. I've been riding since I was six.

I go horse-riding every Saturday. Now I can ride very well. I spend all Saturday at the horse-riding school. I help to get the horses ready. I help the new students. I feed (饲养) the horses and give them water when the lessons are over. I also clean all the equipment (设备). I do these because I like them. I also get to ride for free!
When you start riding a horse, it's very difficult! The first thing you learn is how to get onto a horse. Then you have to learn how to move up and down at the same time as the horse. If you don't do this, it is very uncomfortable for you and the horse! At first you learn to walk the horse around. Then you learn to go faster. When your teacher thinks you are good enough, you learn to jump. Not everyone wants to learn to jump. Some people just want to learn to ride for the exercise. But I like jumping. It is exciting!
