Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he  1  his company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee. He always  2  his success to it.
At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D. degree,  3  to return home, starting a company. Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the   4  made through years. At the airport he had to accept the  5   customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be  taken down for  6 . Glen knew that carrying such goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying   7  for his watch. So while checked, he told a lie that his watch was a  8   fake（假货）. When he was  9   of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch,  10   cost nearly 100,000, into pieces  11  hearing Glen’s words. Glen was  12 . Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined  13  . For many times of entry-exit  14  he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully, and  15  him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if   16   reusing and carrying fake goods, he would be   17  by law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.
After that, he often told the story to his family and his employees. He said that this made a deep  18  on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of  19  , which he would remember as the  20  of his success forever.

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
