My father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late, to supper. I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, "How would you like to go to Eton?"
"You bet," I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.
This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict(冲突) with his fear of drawing attention to himself.
It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging(刺痛) and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.
"Oh, he doesn't want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn't go on like this.” “It's up to him," said my father. "He can make up his own mind." Ks5
His father sold his Rolls-Royce because ________.
A. it made him feel uneasy B. it was too old to work well

The writer's father enjoyed being different as long as ________.
A. it drew attention to him B. it didn't bring him in arguments
C. it was understood as a joke D. there was no danger of his showing off K
What was the writer's reaction to the idea of going to Eton?
A. He was very unhappy. B. He didn't believe it.
C. He was delighted. D. He had mixed feelings.
We can know from the passage that ________.
A. Children who can go to Eton are very famous
B. Children can go to Eton if they will

I looked 39 the bars(铁栏)at my jailer(狱警).He did not make eye contact with me.I called out to him,“Have you got a light?” He looked at me,and came over to 40 my cigarette.
As he came close and lit the match,his eyes met with mine.At that moment,I smiled I don't know 41 I did that,Perhaps it was 42 ,perhaps it was because,when you get very close,one to another,it is very hard not to 43 .In any case,I smiled.It was 44 a spark(火花)jumped across the distance between our two hearts.I know he didn't want to,but my smile jumped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips.He lit my cigarette but stayed near,looking at me 45_ in the eyes and continuing to smile.
