21、As time went on, Philip’s deformity was accepted like one boy’s red hair and another’s unreasonable obesity. But meanwhile he had grown horribly sensitive. He never ran if he could help it, because he knew it made his limp more noticeable. He stood still as much as he could, with his badly shaped foot behind the other. Because he could not join in the games which other boys played, their life remained strange to him; Sometimes they seemed to think that it was his fault if he could not play football, and he was unable to make them understand. He was left a good deal to himself. He had been inclined to talkativeness, but gradually he became silent.
The biggest boy in his dormitory, Singer, took a dislike to him, and Philip, small for his age, had to put up with a good deal of hard treatment. About half-way through the term there was a game called Nibs. It was a game for two, played on a table or a form with steel pens. Soon nothing was seen but boys playing this game, and the more skilful acquired vast stores of nibs. But in a little while Mr. Watson made up his mind that it was a form of gambling, and forbade the game. Then he ordered all the nibs in the boys’ possession be handed in. Philip had been very skilful, and it was with a heavy heart that he gave up his winning; but his fingers itched to play still, and a few days later, on his way to the football field, he went into a shop and bought a pennyworth of J pens. He carried them loose in his pocket and enjoyed feeling them. Presently Singer found out that he had them. Singer had given up his nibs too, but he had kept back a very large one, called a Jumbo, which was almost unconquerable, and he could not resist the opportunity of getting Philip’s Js out of him. Though Philip knew that he was at a disadvantage with his small nibs, he had an adventurous disposition and was willing to take the risk; besides, he was aware that Singer would not allow him to refuse. He had not played for a week and sat down to the game now with a thrill of excitement. He lost two of his small nibs quickly, and Singer was jubilant, but the third time by some chance the Jumbo slipped round and Philip was able to push his J across it. He crowed with triumph. At that moment Mr. Watson came in.
‘What are you doing?’ he asked.
He looked from Singer to Philip, but neither answered.
‘Don’t you know that I’ve forbidden you to play that game?’
Philip’s heart beat fast. He knew what was coming and was dreadfully frightened, but in his fright there was a certain exultation. He had never been swished. Of course it would hurt, but it was something to boast about afterwards.
‘Come into my study.’
The headmaster turned, and they followed him side by side. Singer whispered to Philip:
‘We’re in for it.’
Mr. Watson pointed to Singer.
‘Bend over,’ he said.
Philip, very white, saw the boy quiver at each stroke, and after the third he heard him cry out. Three more followed.
‘That’ll do. Get up.’
Singer stood up. The tears were streaming down his face. Philip stepped forward. Mr. Watson looked at him for a moment.
‘I’m not going to beat you. You’re a new boy. And I can’t hit a cripple. Go away, both of you, and don’t be naughty again.’
When they got back into the school-room a group of boys, were waiting for them. They set upon Singer at once with eager questions. But he did not answer. He was angry because he had been hurt.
‘Don’t ask me to play Nibs with you again,’ he said to Philip. ‘It’s jolly nice for you. You don’t risk anything.’
‘I didn’t ask you.’
‘Didn’t you!’
He quickly put out his foot and tripped Philip up. Philip was always rather unsteady on his feet, and he fell heavily to the ground.
‘Cripple,’ said Singer.
For the rest of the term he tormented Philip cruelly, and, though Philip tried to keep out of his way, the school was so small that it was impossible; he tried being friendly and jolly with him; he abased himself, so far as to buy him a knife; but though Singer took the knife he was not placated. Once or twice, driven beyond endurance, he hit and kicked the bigger boy, but Singer was so much stronger that Philip was helpless, and he was always forced after more or less torture to beg his pardon. It was that which rankled with Philip: he could not bear the humiliation of apologies, which were wrung from him by pain greater than he could bear. And what made it worse was that there seemed no end to his wretchedness; Singer was only eleven and would not go to the upper school till he was thirteen. Philip realized that he must live two years with a tormentor from whom there was no escape. He was only happy while he was studying and when he got into bed. And often there recurred to him then that queer feeling that his life with all its misery was nothing but a dream, and that he would awake in the morning in his own little bed in London.

22、I absolutely hate talking on the phone. But it seems as if there are a group of people who hate the inconvenience of talking on the phone even more than me: screenwriters. Watch any fi1m or TV show, and you're likely to notice the fact that characters hardly say "goodbye" at the end of phone calls. After the main part of a conversation is dropped, it's very common for the phone call to abruptly end. There are no voices clumsily saying "bye" and no awkward variations on“speak soon". Just pure silence.
I'm not the only one who is annoyed by the lack of on-screen goodbyes. It does seem quite rude/after all, even 81% of Millennials(千禧一代) who find phone calls "anxiety-inducing(诱发焦虑的)”still try their best to be polite once they are on the phone. But is it something people actually do? It seems like it's a no at least in the UK.
Maybe it's an American thing? This seems doubtful, too. There is a whole thread on Reddit where Americans are insistent that not saying "goodbye" is not a part of their culture. There is also a fact that, on US reality TV shows, it's very common to see stars saying "goodbye" to each other unless a person is hanging up in anger.
So it seems as if it's an intentional decision in scripted (有剧本的) TV shows and films. But why would screenwriters do this? The disappearance of phone call farewells has probably got more to do with something much more boring time management. When a show is 23 minutes long, every second is precious and getting straight to the point is essential. If you surf the Internet looking for information on how to write dialogues, you'll find that "avoiding small talk" is on almost every how-to list.
Goodbyes' being sidelined from our screens has become a major hang-up for detail-conscious viewers. It's an instant and awkward reminder that the conversation we are watching is completely scripted. And that is a bad call,if you ask me.
【1】What is the function of Paragraph 1?
A．To explain a common phenomenon in films or TV shows.
B．To show the author's comments on screenwriters.
C．To stress the inconvenience of phone calls.
D．To present the main idea of the text.
【2】What can we know about Millennials?
A．They don't have good social relationships.
B．They don't feel like making phone calls.
C．They seem to be rude on the phone.
D．They can be easily annoyed.
【3】Why do screen writers often leave out“goodbyes" at the end of calls?
A．To make the conversation more authentic.
B．To leave room for imagination.
C．To save precious time.
D．To lead a new fashion.
【4】What's the author's attitude to the disappearance of “goodbyes”on the phone?
A．Supportive
B．Ambiguous
C．Unconcerned
D．Opposed

Later that day it was time to go to the first practice of the season. There were other guys and they all sat together talking, but Nick just sat there and waited. “Alright boys!
