23、In the past, many people depended on horses for transportation, farming and other kinds of work. A lot of people still like to ride horses for sport. Horse racing and betting on horse racing are also popular. So, it is not surprising that Americans use a lot of expressions about horses.
Long ago, people who were rich or important rode horses that were very tall. Today, if someone acts better than everyone else, you might tell him to "get off your high horse."
And if someone is pushing you to do something, you can say, "Hold your horses!" This is a very informal way to tell someone to calm down and wait. You would not use it with your boss but you could use it with children.
Something else you could say to children if they are playing too rough or hitting each other is to stop horsing around! When kids horse around, they could get hurt. However, kids who live in a one-horse town might have nothing to do but horse around. A one-horse town is a small town with not too much going on.
So, if you live in a one-horse town, you might like to watch a lot of television. Imagine that you are watching your favorite show when your phone rings. You do not answer it. Wild horses could not drag you away from the television. Nothing could stop you from doing what you want to do.
When you get news directly from the best source, you get it straight from the horse's mouth. If your teacher, for example, tells you there is going to be a test tomorrow, you got that information straight from the horse's mouth.
Sometimes a person keeps arguing a question that has already been settled. They are beating a dead horse. A dead horse is quite different from a dark horse. A dark horse is a person who surprises others by doing better than unexpected. In politics, a dark-horse candidate is someone who is not likely to win ... but then does.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The first time I ever wandered into my college library was when I was in Fresher’s Week. That afternoon, I didn’t have a tight schedule and I decided to go walking around the campus. I went to different places until I saw a door with a sign “library” on it. I pushed the door open, and what welcomed me were rows of tall shelves, with lots of books on them. It was as if each book on the shelves had its own unique smell and each book was trying to tell its story. I walked up to the first shelf and picked up the first book that caught my attention.
Luckily, a book exhibition was taking place there. The author of one of my favourite books was giving a lecture. Her book inspired me a lot, so I was very happy to see her. While I recorded her lecture with my phone, I had so many questions coming into my mind to ask her.
After that, I came across a new friend at the exhibition. We discussed what we thought about the exhibition and we had a lot in common to share. He talked about how novels expand one’s horizons, and how they draw people into another world. “A good writer makes a reader who has never been to Europe or any other continent experience that continent without stepping foot onto it.” What he said really impressed me.
At the very moment, one of his friends was looking for him. I wanted to add him as my friend, only to find my phone had run out of power. So we had to swap phone numbers. After saying goodbye, I remained in the library, picking up a novel to read.
注意:
