  I was not here yesterday  Passage 1

  阅读理解一

  My grandfather was a teacher. He was the headmaster of a school for boys between the age of thirteen and eighteen. I knew 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 knees and told me stories. But I believed 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 his face and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work that was not the best that the boy could do, my grandfather picked the boy's book and threw it across the room, shouting."Do it all again and bring it back first the next morning!"If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the 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 room.
