二、阅读理解
A
Our English teacher Ms Chen wrote the sentence (句子) on the blackboard and said, “Please write this down.”
We started to write. I wrote down the first word and stopped.
“That’s not right. But is it OK to point out the mistake (错误)? Is that polite, in the first lesson?” Questions jumped into my mind (脑海).
“Why aren’t you writing, Wang Han?”
I looked up at Ms Chen. My eyes met hers. My mouth felt dry (干的).
But then I thought about the meaning (意思) of the sentence. I put up my hand.
“Ms Chen, there’s a mistake,” I said. “That sentence is from Confucius, not from Mencius.
“Well done, Wang Han. In fact, this is my first lesson for all of you. You are now in junior high school. Learning will be more difficult. It’s important to think more in your learning. As Confucius said: It is no use learning without thinking. Please always remember this.”
