英语阅读理解练习题（初级）（A）A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse.He drew the horses very well,but he alwaysbegan the tail.Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse,that is why Iwas

at the tail orsomewhere else.That is,you are not yet experienced（有经验的）enough to trust to yourown powers.When you become more experienced you willnever ask the question,and I think that you will often begin at the tail that is to say,youwill write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.1.A friend of the writers drew the h o r s e s.A.very wellB.in the way of western
