Module 1 My First Day at Senior High Period 2 Reading and Vocabulary. 阅读理解AIn the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment. In Mrs Tottens eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals(小数). Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions. Mrs Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and walk toward the other end. Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations. What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldnt function. When Mrs Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer Id got for problem No. 14. “I. . . I didnt get anything, ”I answered, and my face felt warm. “Correct, ”she said. It turned out that the correct answer was zero. What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isnt always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician. If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one. 【语篇概述】本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了自己青春期早期, 非常自负。然而, 在一堂数学课上发生的一件尴尬的事情, 给作者有价值的教训, 也让作者明白了许多道理。1.
