22．（8分）Long ago, people who were rich or important rode hors that were very tall. Today, if a girl acts like she is
better than everyone el, you might say she should “get off her high hor.”
Yesterday, my children wanted me to take them to the playground. But I had to finish my work, so I told them to “hold your hors” — wait until I finish what I am doing. My two boys like to compete ag
ainst each other and play in a violent way. I always tell them to stop “horsing around” or someone could get hurt.
We live in a small town. It does not have any exciting activities to offer visitors. My children call it a “one-hor town.”
Last night, I got a telephone call while I was watching my favorite television show. I decided not to answer it becau “wild hors could not drag me away” from the television — there was nothing that could stop me from doing what I wanted to do.
Sometimes you get information “straight from the hor’s mouth.” It comes directly from the person who k nows most about the subject. Let us say your teacher tells you there is going to be a test tomorrow. You could say you got the information “straight from the hor’s mouth.”
You may have heard this expression, “You can lead a hor to water, but you cannot make him drink.” That means you can give someone advice but you cannot force him to do something he does not want to do.

23．（8分）What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. The may show strengths that you can u in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can u that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be ud directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowl
edge of history is not required for most just but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be uful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can u in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery (烹饪术) and look for a job where you can improve the skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing el, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you e from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourlf. You may be all thumbs when you handle (运用) tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recogni that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
