A
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, I applied.
Three days later, a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an interview. It proved a tiring journey: a train to Croydon station; a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least fifteen minutes.
It was clearly the headmaster himself that opened the door. He was short and fat, with a grey-colored moustache，a deeply lined face and hardly any hair.
He looked at me with surprised disapproval. Then he said. “You’d better come inside.” Leading me into his study, he started 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; whether I thought games were an important part of a boy’s education, etc. I said something about not attaching too much importance to them. We obviously had very little in common.
The teaching arrangement filled me with fear. I was to divide the class of twenty-four boys, aged from seven to thirteen, into three groups and teach them all subjects—including art, football, cricket and so on—in turn at three different levels. Actually, I was depressed at the thought of teaching algebra and geometry—two subjects in which I had been rather weak at school.
I said shyly, “What would my salary be?” “Twelve pounds a week plus lunch.” Before I could speak, he got to his feet. “Now,” he said, “you’d better meet my wife. She’s the one who really runs this school.”
This was the last thing I could hear. I was young. How could my dignity allow me to work under an old woman?
21. Why did the writer apply for a job?
A. Because he wanted to earn some money. B. Because his parents wanted him to do so. C. Because he wanted to experience a different life. D. Because his parents urged him to gain some experience. A. Pleased approval. B. Scared doubt. C. Amazed disapproval.
D. Excited pleasure
22. What was the man’s first attitude towards the writer?
23. Which subjects was the writer poor at?
A. Art and cricket. C. Art and football. A. Reject the job
B. Football and cricket. D. Algebra and geometry, B. Take the job.
24. What would the writer probably do finally?
C. Meet the man’s wife. D. Discuss more job details.

Throughout your life, you spend the most time being with or dealing with yourself, but it is exactly yourself that you have the least understanding of. When you are going upwards in life, you tend to think too highly of yourself. When you are going downhill, you tend to have too low an opinion of yourself. It’s likely that you think it wise for yourself to know your place and keep yourself from lacking courage to face whatever problem you meet with, in which case your energy and creativity would remain far from enough for your age.
To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself and be a clear-minded realistic person-knowing both one’s strength and shortage. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for dreams can never be fully realized. You may be brave to meet challenges, but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts.
To get a thorough understanding of oneself needs self-appreciation. Whether you hold yourself as a big tree or a thin piece of grass, whether you think you are a high mountain or a small stone, you show a state of nature that has its own reason of existence. If you really admire yourself, you’ll have a real sense of self-appreciation which will give you self-confidence. As soon as you gain full confidence in yourself, you’ll be enabled to fight and defeat any trouble that will otherwise defeat you.
To get a thorough understanding of oneself also requires that you show yourself loving concern about your health and daily life. Unless you know perfectly well when and how to do yourself a favor, you won’t be confident and ready enough even to resist the attack of illness.
Therefore, just do yourself a favor whenever it’s needed. In time of anger, do yourself a favor by giving an exit to it in a quiet place so that you won’t be hurt by the anger itself; in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a sad mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep or some other relaxation.
All in all, to get a thorough understanding of oneself is to get a full control one’s life. Then one will find one’s life full of color, pleasure and achievement.
28. According to Paragraph 1, if we achieve great success in life, we may .
A. know our place
B. go downhill next
C. become too proud D. realize our shortage
27. Where is this passage most probably taken from?
