Passage 4 Mr. King is a tall and strong man. He teaches P. E. in a middle school. He wears a long beard (胡子) and takes good care of it. It was Sunday yesterday. There was a big football match of the year on the playground in the center of the city. Mr. King likes the game very much and of course he was going to watch it. With his friends’ help he got a ticket a few days ago. After breakfast he hurried to the bus stop, but a lot of people were waiting there. A bus came and he hardly got on. There were plenty of people in it and it was difficult for them to put their feet. He had to grip (抓住) the back of a chair. At the next stop a boy got on the bus. He looked around and saw Mr. King ’ s beard and grip it. The man found it at once and called out, “ Let go of (松开) my beard, boy! ” “ Are you going to get off, sir?” asked to boy.
