A boy called Mike had many friends, and he was proud of it. Whoever he met, he would like to show off how popular he was at school.
One day, his grandpa said to him, “Mike, I know that you don’t have as many friends as you think. Many of them are not true to you.” Mike thought maybe his grandpa was right. However, he wasn’t sure how he could test whether his schoolmates were true friends or not, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just what you need. It’s in my room. Wait a minute.” The old man left, soon returning as if carrying something in his hand, but Mike could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (隐形的), it will be hard for you to sit on it. However, if you manage to sit on it, you can use the chair’s magic power to tell who your true friends are. Mike took the strange invisible chair to school. At break time, he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody moves. You’re about to see something amazing,” said Mike. Then he tried sitting on the chair. Having difficulty seeing it, he missed and fell to the ground. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. “Wait, wait,” said Mike, making another try. But again he missed the chair.
Mike kept trying to sit on the magic chair. Finally, he did it. This time he felt himself in mid-air. Then he experienced the magic that his grandpa had been talking about. Looking around, Mike saw George, Lucas and Diana holding him up, so he wouldn’t fell. But some schoolmates whom he had trusted as friends had done nothing but made fun of him. Mike was quite thankful to his grandpa, who helped him test who his true friends were.

But how different she was! She was thin and tired from too much hard work. She looked miserable and she had a bad cough. She told me her sad story. She had a year’s rest and then a gentleman bought her. For a while, she got on very well. Then one day after a long gallop (疾驰), her old problem returned, and her back hurt again. They bought and sold her several times after that.
“Then at last,” she said, “a man who has a lot of cabs and horses bought me. I work hard, all week, with no rest on Sundays. I wish I was dead.” I was very sad to hear this. I put my nose up to Ginger’s, but I didn’t know what to say to her. She said, “Black Beauty, you are my only friend.” Just then, her driver came back, and they drove off. I felt very sad indeed to see Ginger like this.
A short time after this, I saw a cart (二轮运货马车) with a dead horse in it. It was a chestnut horse with a long, thin neck. I think it was Ginger. I hope so, for then all her problems were over.
One day, a lady got into the cab. “Jerry Barker,” she said, “is that you How are Polly and the children ” I listened to Jerry’s answer and found Mrs Fowler was a lady Polly once worked for. She asked Jerry, “How do you find the cab work in winter I know Polly was worried about you last year.”
“Yes, ma’am. It was a hard winter and I had a bad cough,” he replied.
“Well, Barker,” Mrs. Fowler continued. “I know people who want good drivers or grooms. If you stop working on the cabs one day, let me know.”
“Certainly, ma’am,” smiled Jerry. “Thank you,” he said, and he seemed very pleased.

A. Because he wasn’t Ginger’s true friend.
B. Because the master didn’t need Ginger any more.
