While I was waiting to enter university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job


1


at a
school about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of


2


and wanting to
do
something


3


I
applied
(
申请
),


4


as
I
did
so,
that
without
a
degree
and
with no


5


of teaching my chances of getting the job were


6

.
However, three days later, a letter arrived, calling me to Croydon for a meeting with the
headmaster. It proved to be a


7


journey: a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute
bus ride and then a walk of at


8


a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there,
feeling too hot to be nervous. It was clearly the


9


himself that


10


the door.
He was short and round.



11


of twenty-four boys between seven
and
thirteen.
I
should
have
to
teach
all
the
subjects
except
art,


12


he
taught
himself. I should have to divide the class into


13


groups and teach them in turn at
three different


14

, and I was


15


at the thought of teaching maths
—
a subject
at
which
I
wasn’t
very


16


at
school.
Worse
perhaps
was
the
idea
of


17


to
teach
them
on
Saturday
afternoon
because
most
of
my
friends
would
be


18


themselves at that time.
Before
I
had
time
to
ask
about
my
salary,
he
got
up
to
his


19

.

he
said,
you’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really

The other day I was talking to a stranger on the bus; he told me that he had a good


1


in Chicago and he wondered if, by any chance, I


2


to know him . For a moment, I
thought he might be


3


,but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was
not. He was


4

. I felt like saying that it was ridiculous (
可笑的
) to


5


that out
of
all
the
millions
of
people
in
Chicago
I
could
possibly
have
ever
bumped
into
his
friend. But,


6

, I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very


7

city.
He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about
something
else.
But
I
was
wrong.
He
was
silent
for
a
few
minutes,
and
then
he


8


to tell me all about his friend.
His friend’s main


9


in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player ,
and he


10



had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming


11

,
yet
there were only
two people with
private tennis court; his
friend in
Chicago
was one of them. I told him that I knew several


12


like that, including my brother,
who was doctor in California. He


13


that maybe there were more private courts in
the
country,
than
he


14


but
he
did
not
know
of
any
others.
Then
he
asked
me


15


my
brother
lived
in
California.
When
I
said
Sacramento,
he
said
that
was
a
coincidence


16


his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and
he lived next door to a


17


who had a tennis court in his backyard. I

said I felt
that
really
was
a
coincidence
(
巧合
)
because
my
next-door
neighbour
had
gone
to
Sacramento last summer and had


18


the house next to my brother’s house. For a
moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.
“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked
finally. He


19


and said, “Yes. Would
your brother’s name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my


20


to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.

What is eBay?

The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where
nearly
anyone
can
trade
practically
anything.
People
can
sell
and
buy
all
kinds
of
products
and
goods, including cars, movies
and
DVDs, sporting
goods, travel
tickets,
musical instruments, clothes and shoes
—
the list goes on and on.







The
idea
came
from
Peter
Omidyar,
who
was
born
in
Paris
and
moved
to
Washington
when
he
was
still
a
child.
At
high
school,
he
became
very
interested
in
computer programming and after graduating from Tuft University in 1988, he worked
for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind
of
hobby,
at
first
offering
the
service
free
by
word
of
mouth.
By
1996
there
was
so
much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade
（升级）

and he began charging a fee
to
members.
Joined
by
a
friend,
Peter
Skoll,
and
in
1998
by
his
capable
CEO,
Meg
Whitman, he has never looked back. Even in the great
. com
crashes of the late 1990s,
eBay has
gone from strength
to
strength.
It
is
now one of the ten most visited online
shopping websites on the Internet.






eBay sells connections, not goods, putting buyer and seller into contact with each
other. All you have to do is take an e-photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and
you’re in business:

the world is your market place. Of course for each item
（商品）
sold eBay gets a percentage and that is a great deal of money. Every day there are more
than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold.

13. We learn from the text that eBay provides people with___________.


A. a way of buying and selling goods
