30、 to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.” AIDS wasnt something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together any more, and my dad lived on his own. For a
31、while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My fathers other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.

D New York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen on horseback. The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The hors
38、es are expensive to feed, but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact , they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair
39、is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole United States.
