However, the real job of an American cowboy has always been _________ and sometimes dangerous. It is physical with long hours and low pay.
Life hasn’t _________ much for cowboys since the early days. Cows walk across huge plains (草原) to _________ the grass and the cowboy rides on his horse to bring _________ home.
