He said he wouldn't talk for too long, and we saw him take his watch off and lay it on the table. I can't remember what he said about smoking because John and I had other things to think about. He finished when the bell rang for break, and the headmaster told us to go out. John happened to slip when he was passing the teacher's table. In the playground John showed me the watch. He put it on his wrist, and it looked lovely. I was wishing that I'd been the one to slip by the table, because it was a beautiful gold watch. The headmaster came outside then, and the old man was with him. They walked about, looking around and talking all the time. After a bit the bell rang, and we came into our class again. The headmaster said, "I've got a little job for you, boys. This
gentleman, our lecturer, has lost his watch in the playground. It has happened before, he says - it just slips off his wrist. So look around for it, will you? See if you are clever enough to find it. The boy who can find it will get a useful reward." Well, of course we all walked about the playground, looking for the watch. And I wasn't surprised at all when John bent down as if he was picking something up. Then he hurried past me towards the headmaster and the old man. "Where are you going?" I called out, though I knew very well where he was going. And the next minute John was smiling, handing over the watch to the old man and waiting for a reward. But the old man didn't seem pleased at all. In fact he looked quite angry as if he wanted to put a knife into John's heart. Then both the headmaster and the old man burst out laughing. Later, John said to me that the old man didn't even say "Thank you" when he gave back to him the watch. The thing that made everybody, except me, surprised was that John didn't get any reward. When he reminded the headmaster about it, he said " Well, I will give you a useful reward that you will never forget. Take this sheet of paper and write a long composition on the evils of smoking". Of course John didn't know what to write.
21. What were the two boys thinking about during the lecture? A. They were not thinking about anything B. They were thinking about the evils of smoking C. About the watch - and how to get it, perhaps. D. They thought that the headmaster was very clever. 22. Why did the story-teller wish that he had slipped? A. Because it was a beautiful watch. B. He thought he could have taken the watch if he had slipped. C. If that had happened, the watch wouldn't have been lost. D. In that case he wouldn't have given it back to the lecturer. 23. Why did the two men come out to the playground? A. Because that was where the watch was lost B. It was day-time, and they needed some fresh air. C. It was just a lucky chance that they came out mere. D. They came out in order to support the headmaster's story. 24.What was the purpose of the promised reward? A. People who find things must have a reward. B. It was a clever trap of the headmaster to find the watch. C. It was to encourage the boys to find the watch. D. The watch was a valuable one, so a reward was necessary.
25. When John "bent down", what was he trying to do? A. He had to bend down in order to pick up the watch. B. He was trying to hide the fact that he had found the watch C.
