Question

    A boy had a place at the best school in town. In the morning, his grandfather took him to the school. When the boy and his grandfather went into the playground, some children came up.

“What a funny old man,” one boy said, making a face. “Hey, fatty,”another one shouted.    

The children laughed at the two and jumped up and down. Without saying a word, the old man took his grandson out of that school gate.

“Wonderful, I don’t have to go to school!”the boy said. 

“ You do, but not this one, ” his grandfather replied. “ I will find you a school myself. ”

 Grandfather took his grandson back to his own house, asked grandmother to look after him, and then went off to look for a school himself.

Every time he got to a school, the old man went into a playground, and waited for the children to come out at break time. In some schools the children completely ignored the old man and in others, they made fun of him. When this happened, he would turn sadly and go home.  

Finally, he went into the very small playground of a very small school, and stood tiredly against the wall. The bell rang, and the children got out into the playground.  

“Sir, are you all right? Shall I bring you something to drink?” a voice said.  

“We have got a bench in the playground corner and sit down,” came another voice. Soon a young teacher came out into the playground corner and sat down. The old man greeted him and said, “Finally, I have found my grandson the best school in town.”

2.

推理判断题。根据“Every time he got to a school, the old man went into a playground, and waited for the children to come out at break time.”以及下文的叙述可知，每次老人到了一所学校，他就到操场等着孩子们课间休息时间出来，有的学校孩子们完全不理会老人，在一些学校他们给老人开玩笑。这个时候老人会伤心地转身回家，最后在一所非常小的学校的操场上老人遇到的孩子们对他非常有礼貌，以至于老人对老师说道“I have found my grandson the best school in town.”“我已经为我的孙子找到镇上最好的学校了。”可推知老人通过学生的表现看看他们是否表现良好。故选B。
