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 work 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 couldn't function.
When Mrs.Totten reached my desk,she asked what answer I'd got for problem No.14.“I...I didn't 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 isn't 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.
【语篇导读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,大意是介绍最有价值的一堂数学课。作者的数学老师每次上课都让学生们口头回答前一天的数学题,她通常是按学生的座号的顺序或倒序进行提问,而作者的座号是全班的中间,所以每次提问时作者都能按顺序算好自己可能该回答的哪些题,然后就这一个题做好准备。但那天却出了问题,作者虽然计算好了自己要回答的问题,但有几个同学请假了,老师提问的不是作者准备的问题,当老师提问到作者时,作者说:我得到了零。老师说:对。原来那个题的答案就是零。他居然回答对了。从那堂课他知道了无论是学习中,还是生活中,一定要认真对待所做的每一件事,那是最有价值的一堂课。
