22、A horse fair is an interesting place. There were young horses from the country, little Welsh ponies and many beautiful horses too. But there were also a lot of poor, thin horses, tired from hard work. I was very sad to see them.

At the horse fair there was a man with a gentle voice and kind grey eyes. He offered 23 pounds for me, but they refused. Then a man with a very loud voice came. I was afraid he was going to buy me, but he walked off. Then the grey-eyed man came back again and said,

“I’Il give 24 for him.”

“Done,” said the salesman. “He’s an excellent horse and if you want him for cab （出租马车） work, he’s a bargain.”

Half an hour later we left for London, along country roads, until we came to that great city. There were streets to the right, and streets to the left. We went into one of the small streets, and then into a very narrow street, with small, old houses.

My owner stopped at a house. The door opened, and a woman, a little girl and boy, came out. “Is he gentle, father?” said the girl.

“Yes, Dolly, as gentle as a kitten（小猫）; you can pat（轻拍）him.”

Dolly, the little girl, patted my shoulder without fear. It felt so good! They led me into a comfortable, clean stable（马厩）, and after a delicious meal I lay down to sleep, thinking, “I’m going to be very happy here.”

My new owner’s name was Jerry. His wife was called Polly and they had two children, Harry and Dolly. The next morning they came to see me. I loved it when they patted me and spoke in gentle voices.

“Let’s call him Jack, after the old horse, shall we, Harry?” said Dolly. Harry agreed.

The first week of my life as Jack, the London cab horse was very hard. The noise and the people and the traffic on the streets scared me. But Jerry was a very good driver, and that helped a lot. Jerry soon found that I was ready to work hard and do my best, and he didn’t whip （鞭打） me. He kept us very clean, and gave us as much food as we wanted. But the best thing was that we had Sundays off.

23、

Who can help you? Maybe you think your parents, teachers or others can help you. But in fact, all these people only help you to help yourself.

There have been many great men in history. They had few people to help them. They could not get good education, either. But they tried their best to learn and never gave up. One famous teacher in England once told his students, “I can not make you great men, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”

However, some young people do nothing and they depend on others. If these young people can see their weak points(弱点) and change their ways, they can be successful. They are nothing now, and will be nothing in the future, unless they take the advice of their parents and teachers, and most importantly, depend on themselves.

24、根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。（每空一词）

Jo is 15 and lives in Parkville. When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville fifty years ago, it was a quiet v【1】. At that time, they had a small house, with some fields.

But Parkville was c【2】 to a big city, Arnwick. People from the countryside began to m【3】 to Arnwick to find jobs and have a better life. And of course they needed places to live in. However, it was e【4】 to live in the centre of Arnwick, so the city government decided to build flats around the edge (边缘) of the city. And soon, Parkville b【5】 a suburb (郊区) of Arnwick. Jo’s family live in one of those new flats—there’s no s【6】 for small houses any more.

The small local school in Parkville has already c【7】 down. Jo goes to a school near the centre of Arnwick. It takes longer to get to the school, and that adds to the traffic pressure(压力) and p【8】.

Bigger cities mean more p【9】 sometimes. For example, Arnwick needs larger hospitals and more doctors, more buses and fewer private (私人的) cars. It’s difficult to run a big city and to p【10】 its people. So it also needs more laws(法律) and more police, and more taxes (税收) to pay for everything.
