A. Thirteen. B. Between thirteen and eighteen.
C. Thirteen or eighteen.
2 Why did the speaker think his grandfather was kind and gentle?
A. Because he told me stories about how kind he was.
B. Because he always gave presents to his students.
C. Because he always gave the speaker presents and kindly told him stories when he was young.
3 Which of the following is NOT true?
A. I think my grandfather was a gentle and kind man.
B. The boys at his school were afraid of him.
C. My grandfather threw the book at the boy when he received poor work.
4 Which of the following is true?
A. My grandfather was very angry with the boy and would let him do it all again when he received a boy’s poor Work.
B. My grandfather would let him do it all again, again and again when he received a boy’s poor work.
C. My grandfather would throw it out of the door when he received poor work.
My
grandfather was a teacher. He was the head-teacher of a school for boys between
the ages of thirteen and eighteen. He was a kind man. When I was young, he
always gave me presents, and sat me on his knees, and told me stories. But I
believe the boys at his school were afraid of him. When he looked at a boy with
a certain look in his eyes, that boy would be red in the face, and would look
down at his shoes. If a boy brought poor, careless work that was not the best
that boy could do, my grandfather would pick up the boy’s book and throw it
across the room, shouting: do it all again, and bring it back first thing in
the morning! If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he would
have to do it again, and again, and yet again.

In 1982 Ted Turner was named by Forbes one of the 400 richest people in the US. He was named Time magazine's "Man of the Year" in 1992. How did Ted Turner accomplish all of this at such a young age?
Ted Turner's father, Ed, was a self-made millionaire who demanded that his only son try to achieve similar success. He instilled in the boy a strong belief that hard work was good.

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”, my brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, and then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong.

She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away.
