2、车到克洛伊顿车站，然后坐十分钟的汽车，最后至少再走四分之一英里。结果，我在一个炎热的六月的早晨到了，因为太沮丧而没感到紧张。学校是一座红砖房子，大大的窗子。前面的宅院是铺着砾石的正方形，四个角落都各生一丛灌木，它们挣扎着求生于来自一条繁忙大道的烟雾，尘灰。很显然开门的是校长本人。他又矮又胖，留着沙色的小胡子，前额上布满皱纹，头发几乎秃光。他带着一种吃惊的、不满的神情看着我，就像是一位上校看着一名没系鞋带的列兵一样， “哦，对” 他咕哝着说“你最好到里面来。 ”狭窄、阴暗的走廊里散发出放久的卷心菜的霉味，让人很不舒服，墙上墨迹斑斑，很脏；到处一片沉寂。从地毯上的面包屑判断，他的书房也是他的餐室。
3、 “你最好坐下，他说道，接着又问我了一连串的问题，为了得到普通中学毕业证书我学了哪些科目，多大了，玩些什么游戏，这时他突然用那双满是血丝的眼睛盯着我，问我是否认为游戏对于孩子的教育起着重大的作用。我含含糊糊地说些别把游戏看得那么重要之类的话。他哼了哼。我的话不正确。我和那位校长显然没什么共同点。他说，学校包括一个有二十四个男孩子的班级，年龄范围是七至十三岁。我必须教所有的课程，除了美术由他自己教外。星期三和星期六下午到一英里外的公园里踢足球，打板球。教学安排使我充满了恐惧。我得把班分成三级再依次按三个不同水准教他们，想起要教代数和几何我就沮丧，这两门课我在学校里就学得非常差劲。更糟的是想到周六
4、下午打板球，那时我的大多数朋友都在休闲。我十分不好意思地问：“我的薪水会是多少呢？ ”“加午餐每星期十二镑。 ”没等我提出抗议，他已经站起来。 “现在， ”他说道， “你最好见见我妻子，她才是真正管理学校的人。 ”我再也无法忍受下去了。我还年轻，想到要在一个女人手下做事，真是奇耻大辱。TEXTTrying to make some money before entering university, the author applies for a teaching job. But the interview goes from bad to worse.My First JobRobert
5、BestWhile I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in 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 did so, that without a degree and with no exper
6、ience 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
7、 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 o
8、pened the door. He was short and fat. He had a sandy-coloured 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 Youd better come inside. The narrow, sunless hall
9、 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 Youd better sit down, he said, and proceeded to ask me a number of questions: what subjects I had taken in my General School Certif
10、icate; 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 boys education. I mumbled something about not attaching too much importance to them. He grunted. I had said the wrong thing. The headmaster and I obv
11、iously had very little in common.The school, he said, consisted of one class of twenty-four boys, ranging in age from seven to thirteen. I should have to teach all subjects except art, which he taught himself. Football and cricket were played in the Park, a mile away on Wednesday and Saturday aftern
12、oons.The teaching set-up filled me with fear. I should have to divide the class into three groups and teach them in turn at three different levels; and I was dismayed at the thought of teaching algebra and geometry=two subjects at which I had been completely incompetent at school. Worse perhaps was
13、the idea of Saturday afternoon cricket; most of my friends would be enjoying leisure at that time.I said shyly, What would my salary be? Twelve pounds a week plus lunch. Before I could protest, he got to his feet. Now, he said, youd better meet my wife. Shes the one who really runs this school.This
