2、ithout a degree and with no experience那一年，我進(jìn)了大學(xué)，但還沒進(jìn)學(xué)校的時(shí)候，在當(dāng)?shù)貓?bào)紙上看到廣告，就聘用了老師。這所學(xué)校位于倫敦近郊，離我住的地方約10英里。當(dāng)時(shí)急需錢，所以又申請做一些有意義的事情。但同時(shí)也有人擔(dān)心，沒有學(xué)位，沒有教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，獲得這個(gè)職位的可能性很低。 however，three days later a letter arrived，summoning me to croydon for an interview。it proved an awkward journey : a train to croydon station；a te

3、n-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter of a mile。as a result i arrived on a hot june morning too depressed to feel nervous。但是3天后來信，通知我去croydon面試。路不好走。先坐火車去克羅伊登站，然后坐10分鐘的公共汽車。最后步行0.25英里以上到達(dá)目的地。那是6月1日早晨。天氣很熱。我很沮喪，很緊張，簡直崩潰了。 the school was a drary，galed victorian house of red brick and

5、ally the headle master himself that opened the door。 he was short and rotund。 he had a sandy-coloured moustache，a freckled forehead and hardly anyhair。he was wearing a tweed suit-one felt soehow he had always worn itand across his ample stomach was loops a silver watch-chain。開門的人顯然是校長。他個(gè)子矮，留著黃色的胡子，額

6、頭上有斑點(diǎn)，幾乎沒有頭發(fā)。他穿著粗花呢大衣，總讓人覺得穿著這件衣服。胖肚子上垂著銀手鐲。he looked at me with an air of surprised disapproval，as a colonel might lookat a private whose boolace s were undone。“啊是，”he grunoted。 youd better come inside . ，the narrow，sunless hall smelled unpleasantly of stale cabbage；the cream-printed walls had gone

7、 a dingy margarne colour，except where they were scarred with ink marks；it was all silent。 his study，judging by the crumns on the carpet，was also his dining room。on the mantel piece there was a salt cellar and pepper-pot。“you d better sit down”，he said，and proceeded to ask me a number of questions 33

8、60 what subjects had i taken in my general schoolhow old was i；what games did i playthen fixing me suddenly with his blood shot eyes，he asked me whether i thought games were a vital part of a boy s education。i mumbled something about not attaching too much importance to them。 he grunoted。i had said

9、the wrong thing .heads master and i obviously had singularly little in common。他輕蔑地看著我，像上?？粗鴽]有系鞋帶的列兵一樣。他喃喃自語?！班牛M(jìn)來吧！”走廊里有窄、暗、發(fā)霉的白菜的味道，很不好。原來白墻變成了淡淡的奶油色，上面有幾處墨水漬；一切都很安靜?？吹靥荷嫌忻姘?，好像書房也是他的餐廳。壁爐里放著鹽罐和胡椒罐。他說“請坐”，然后問了我?guī)讉€(gè)問題：考試普通學(xué)校結(jié)業(yè)證書的時(shí)候?qū)W了什么科目；我多大了；我做了什么運(yùn)動？然后，他突然怒視著我眼里布滿血絲的我。他模模糊糊地問，運(yùn)動在男孩的教育過程中是否很重要，我不要太重視。

10、他咕噥著，不知道說了什么。但是我意識到我說錯(cuò)了話，顯然我和這位校長之間幾乎沒有相同的看法。 the school，he said，conisted of one class of twenty-four boys，ranging in age from seven to thirteen。i should have to teach all subjects except art，which he taught himself。fooball and cricket were played in the park，a mile away on wednesday and saturday af

11、ternoons。校長說學(xué)校只有一個(gè)班，男生有24人，年齡從7歲到13歲。我想教除藝術(shù)以外的所有科目。藝術(shù)課是他自己教的。足球課和板球課是星期三下午和星期六下午，上課地點(diǎn)是一英里外的公園。 the teaching set-up appalled me。i should have to split the class up into three groups and teach them in turn at three different levels；and i was dismayed at the thought of teaching algebra and geometrytwo

12、subjects at which i had been completed incompletent at school。worse perhaps w as the idea of saturday afternoon cricket。it was not so much having to tramp a mile along the dusty streets of croydon，followwed by a crocodile of small boys that i minded，but the fact學(xué)校的教育安排讓我很郁悶。我要把班里的學(xué)生分成三組，然后按照三個(gè)不同的水平依

13、次講課。想到要教代表和幾何學(xué)，我很痛苦。這是我在學(xué)校做得最差的兩門課。更糟的可能是星期六下午的板球課。令人無法忍受的還不是帶著一群生孩子沿著骯臟的croydon街走一英里去上課，而是在這個(gè)時(shí)間里，我的大部分朋友都在悠閑地享受。 i said diffidently，“what would my salary be？”“twelve pounds a week plus lunch”、before i could prost、he got to his feet?！皀ow”、“he said”、“youd better meet my wife”。she s the one who really

14、 runs this school . 我膽怯地問：“我的工資怎么算？他說：“每周12英鎊和午飯?！边€沒到我說其他意見的時(shí)候，他就站起來說：“現(xiàn)在見見我的妻子吧。她就是這所學(xué)校的老板?！?this was the last straw。i was very young : the prospect of working under a woman constituted the ultimate indivity。我真受不了，我這么年輕，居然想在一個(gè)女人手下工作，真是最大的恥辱。打結(jié)第2單元見教材p16unwillingly on holiday悲傷的假期菲利普皮爾斯菲利普皮爾斯not all

16、 with dread . read the following account。what would your feelings be about going some here new on holiday？背景信息：假期并不都是愉快的時(shí)間。偶爾休假也不愉快。部分原因可能是改變了已經(jīng)習(xí)慣的生活方式。去新的地方，人們不確定會發(fā)生什么或會發(fā)現(xiàn)什么。有人認(rèn)為去度假是有趣的新鮮經(jīng)驗(yàn)，也有人討厭。讀下面的文章，談?wù)勀銓θバ碌胤蕉燃俚母杏X。 if，standing alone on the back door step，tom allowed himself to weep tears，they were tears of anger。he looked his good-bye at the garden，and raged that he had to leave it-leave it and peter。they had planned to spend their time here so joyously these holidays。湯姆氣得流著淚，一個(gè)人站在后門臺階上。他戀戀不舍地望著花園，感到幸福。因?yàn)橐x開小花園，離開彼得。他們原計(jì)劃好了，假期里兩個(gè)人一起在這個(gè)花園里享受樂趣。 town gardens are small，as a rule，and
