Ⅲ. Read and complete the tasks. 阅读并完成任务。
Entering a new school is challenging(富有挑战的) for everyone. You have to get used to(习惯) a new classroom, make new friends, and solve new problems. The book New Kid by US writer Jerry Craft is about this. In this book, the “new kid” is 12-year-old Jordan Banks.
Jordan Banks is a 7th grader. His parents send him to a new middle school. There are only a few students of colour in this new school. So Jordan, an African-American boy, is different. As a new student, Jordan has a lot of problems. For example, the teacher cannot remember his name. And he does not share the same interests with his classmates, so it is difficult for him to make any friends. What’s more, when winter break comes, other students go travelling, but Jordan’s parents cannot afford(承担) to travel.
This new life is a challenge for the little boy. But he has his own way to solve it. He likes drawing. He draws his everyday life. Little by little, Jordan shows his ideas and talents(天赋) to the students and teachers in his new school. This is how he makes new friends.
Like Jordan, as a new kid, when entering a new school, you might have questions like “Who am I?” or “Who will I be?”. This book might help you answer these questions. If you want to know more about the book, come to the school library on 10th October.
