阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。

　　    My grandfather was a teacher. He was the headteacher of a school　　 for boys between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was　　 a kind and gentle man at heart, because when I was young (and he was　　 old), he gave me presents, and set me on his knee, and told me stories.　　 But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.

　　    At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys there was　　 silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his　　 eyes, that boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If　　 a boy brought him poor, careless work that was not the best that boy　　 could do, my grandfather would pick up the boy's book and threw it　　 across the room, shouting, "Do it again and bring it back first in the　　 morning." If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring his work,　　 he had to do it again, and again and yet again. My grandfather never　　 forgot.

　　    He was a very different man at school, from the man I saw day by　　 day in his own home.

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意1-25各题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。

    While I was at school, I 1 train with Spurs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I also 2 for English schoolboys, so I suppose I was 3 a school boy star.　　

　　     I didn't really get into 4 at school. I had my two elder brothers there for　　 5 of the time that I was there, so my stay at the school　　 wasn't that hard.6 other children had a really hard time.　　

　　    I left 7 the end of the Fourth Year, and that caused a bit of trouble. I was allowed 8 math and technical drawing early. I passed them 9 , but unfortunately I failed in woodwork. If I'd stayed on 10 12 subjects like the other children.　　 　　

    It was a big decision to leave early so as 11 take all my exams.It could have meant that I'd wasted 12 years. But how many could get the 13 that I had? I'm told that only one in 1000 makes it in 14 , so you have only a very slim chance. But I decided to go for it and looking back it was the 　　 15 thing to do.　　

　　    I didn't support Spurs 16 a boy. I supported QPR, my local team. But to play for Spurs, 17 had just won the FA Cup, was interesting to me. There were so many 18 , and of course Bill Nicholson was the 19 then—a great manager.　　 　　

    I didn't have any girlfriends at 20 , I was 21 deeply involved (陷　　 于) in football that I didn't have time. 22 I don't have direct contactwith my old school friends, I own a sports 23 in the area, so they　　 often drop into the shop and talk about the old days.　　 24 is really nice. I'm always pleased to see them. I would advise anyone　　 25 to be a footballer to stay on at school to do their exams. If a club wants you badly enough they'll come in for you later.
