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 seated me on his knees,
19、 and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him. At school, when he walked into a classroom full of noisy boys, those boys went red in the faces, and looked down at their shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work, which was not the best that boys could do, my gran
20、dfather picked up the boys work and threw it across the classroom, shouting, “ Do it all again, and bring it back early in the morning！ ” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he had to do it again.

24、B “Homestay is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local(当地的 ) family to better understand the local lifestyle.

25、reign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you wont be disappointed.” After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a
26、place where I had wanted to go since years ago. As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family(寄宿家庭 ) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. The
27、y treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too. The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-se
28、eing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.

33、dings. Some bed and breakfast inns have only a few rooms. Others are much larger. Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms, others do.

39、 to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the e arliest reasons of education.

40、y need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地 ), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
