36、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

37、 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 s

38、quare; 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

39、 an air of surprised disapproval, as a colonel might look at aprivate 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 cru

40、mbs 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 thoug

41、ht games were a vital part of a boy s education. I mumbled somethingabout not attaching too much importance to them. He grunted.

Then I felt

44、the gun, cold, againstmy head, and I heard my friend Jeremy saying,“ What do you want? Take my wallet, ” butat the time I thought of nothing.I remember being vaguely annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. Ir

45、emember the fear and anger in the gunmen s voices because Jeremy was being slow,s headand I was wondering why he was being so slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the shrubbery. But I remember the sound of the gun hitting Jeremy and the feeling as the man who had hold of my h

46、air released me. And I remember the split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy, and I remember wondering how far I could run before he pulled the trigger. But I was already running, and upon reaching thecar across the street, I didn t crouch behind it but screamed insdte. aI remember thin

47、king there was something absurdly melodramatic about screaming “ Help, help! ” at eight o clock on a Tuesday evening in December and changing my plea to the more specific “ Help, let me in, please let me in!” But the houses were col,d, closedunfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremy s screams be

48、hind me announcing that ourattackers had fled.The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the cops to come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were cold, and

49、 I said politely, “ Please go and eat. We re O.K. ”I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stiffer sentences for criminals, of bringing back the death penalty and how the President is going to clean up the country. I was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and

50、I still feel that stiffer sentences wouldn t change a thing. In a rush all the rage I should have felt for my attackers was directed against these contented people standing in front of their warm, cozy homes talking about all the guns they were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy

51、and me?46. When the writer saw the gun pointing against the car window, Ca)she lost consciousness.47. When the gunman pulled her from the car by her hair, Ba)the writer felt somewhat angry.48.

The author was happy to see the neighbors go because Da) she wanted to be left alone with Jeremy to get over the shock.Passage 3You go shopping for a new refrig
