My father had just come back from his short-term business visit to England when I came in, rather late, to dinner. I could tell that my parents had been talking about 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. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. 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 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 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."
1.The writer's father sold his Roils-Royce because ________.
A. it was bought at a low price B. it frequently broke down
C. it was a second-hand car D. it made him feel uneasy
2.The writer's father would enjoy being different unless ________.
A. there was no danger of showing off B. it drew much attention to him
C. it was understood as a joke D. it didn't bring him in arguments
3.The writer felt ________ about the idea of going to Eton.
A. unhappy B. unbelievable
C. delighted. D. complicated
4.Based on the passage we know that ________.
A. it is not easy for children to get admitted by Eton
B. children can go to Eton if they would like to
C. children who can go to Eton are very famous
D. children can’t decide whether they will go to Eton
