When a new headmaster came to work at Garden School, he learned the worst class in this school was Class 3 A. The students in Class 3 A had no interest in their lessons. So he decided to do something about Class 3 A. On the second day he walked to 3 A's classroom. He didn't need to know where it was. He could hear them. They were making a terrible noise. He stood outside the classroom for a few minutes and looked inside through the window. He became angry at what he saw. Some boys were fighting. Others were throwing things at one another. No one was doing any work.
The headmaster knew what to do. He would go into the classroom, catch the biggest boy in the class and punish him. This would be an example to the others. He took a deep breath and opened the classroom door. "Silence!" he shouted at the top of his voice.
This time the students stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Quickly he walked up to the oldest-looking boy in the room, who was also the noisiest and had been shouting at others at the top of his voice. He took him by the ear and pulled him to the front of the class. "I'm going to punish you as an example to others, "he said." Now go to my office and wait for me. "Then he turned to the class and lectured them about how they should behave(行为举止)in school.
When he had finished, he said, "Does anyone have any questions?" One of the students put up his hand. "Yes, sir. I have one. When can we have our teacher back?"
