大学英语~阅读理解
While I was waiting to enter university,I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived.Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful,I applied,fearing as I do so,that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.
However,three days later a letter arrived,asking me to go to Croydon for an interview.It proved an awkward journey:a train to Croydon station; a ten-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.
The school was a red brick house with big windows.The front garden was a gravel square; four evergreen shrubs stood at each corner,where they struggled to survive the dust and fumes from a busy main road.
It was clearly the headmaster himself that opened the door.He was short and fat.He had a sandy-colored moustache,a wrinkled forehead and hardly any hair.
He looked at me with an air of surprised disapproval,as a colonel might look at a private whose bootlaces were undone.“ Ah yes,” he grunted.“ You’d better come inside.” The narrow,sunless hall smelled unpleasantly of stale cabbage; the walls were dirty with ink marks; it was all silent.His study,judging by the crumbs on the carpet,was also his dining-room.“You’d better sit down,” he said,and proceeded to ask me a number of questions:what subjects I had taken in my General School Certificate; how old I was; what games I played; then fixing me suddenly with his bloodshot 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 grunted.I had said the wrong thing.The headmaster and I obviously had very little in common.
