“Welcome to a new school year. I’m Mr Stevens and I’m sure I’ll learn all your names in no time.” He walked around the class handing out math books. When it was done, he returned to the front of the class and looked at us. We stared back. “What are you waiting for? Get started,” he said.

We looked at him and were confused. Wasn’t he going to teach us?

“Is there anything wrong with your ears? You’re not all deaf, are you?”

A brave boy at the back of the class asked what we all wanted to know, “Mr Stevens, aren’t you going to teach us?”

Mr Stevens said, “You’re smart kids. Open your books and get down to your study. If you have any trouble or any questions, raise your hand, and I’ll help you.”

My friend Paul and I exchanged glances and opened our books to the first chapter (章). A competition began. Paul and I spent all our free time at home working through the lessons. Mr Stevens, keeping his word, helped anyone who was stuck in a problem. We worked hard and finished two and one half math books the first year. It was a turning point in my life. Mr Stevens made me realize I was good at math and also able to reach the top of any class I attended.

Monty Python’s Flying Circus (《巨蟒剧团之飞翔的马戏团》) was a popular television show back then. The actors brought the best British humor into our Canadian lives. Mr Stevens would often act out one of their skits in front of the class. Some thought he was strange, and I guessed he was, but he knew how to make a math lesson interesting.

1. What was special about Mr Stevens according to the author?

A. He was strict with the students. B. He treated each student the same way.

C. He brought English humor into class. D. He taught the students to learn on their own.

2. Why did the author say it was a turning point in his life?

A. He came to like school from then on. B. He realized he could be a top student.

C. He began to show interest in math. D. He changed his attitude toward life.

3. What is the author’s attitude toward Mr Stevens?

A. Respectful. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Disappointed.

4. What does the underlined word “skits” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Important lessons. B. Lovely animals. C. Famous actors. D. Funny performances.

B

I ask every student I interview for admission (准许入学) to my college, the same question, “What do you look forward to the most in college?” I was surprised and delighted recently when a student replied, “I look forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures, but this young man took a risk.
