Today was my first day at senior high and it was bard. In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and those 4 minutes to go from one class to another really isn't a lot of time. Today I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be 0n time tomorrow, or you'll have detention (放学后留校).”

After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits (肖像).

Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher's dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I had an aversion to math, It wasn't that I didn't want to do well, but simply that I didn't think I was able to do well. “I can't" became my state of mind in all things related (有关的) to math.

However, I was soon to learn that “I can't" was not a choice in Mr. A's class.

Mr. A always greeted (迎接) us with open arms as he said,“Welcome! Smile!It's a great day to be alive!" It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion (热悄) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student,from the top achiever to the“I can't”student.

I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. A's presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed.As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began lo do the same, and it became "cool” to have lunch and talk with Mr. A. We didn't know it at the time, but he was changing our attitudes (态度).

Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn't become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb.There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding (提醒) me, "Kate, smile! It's a great day to be alive!"

28. What does the underlined word“aversion" in paragraph I probably mean?

A. Interest.     B. Responsibility.     C. Dislike.     D. Misunderstanding.

29. What first made the author look forward to math class?

A. Mr. A 's attitude.                 B. Her interest in math.

C. Her friends' encouragement.       D. The top achievers in her class.

30. How did the author feel about her talk over lunch with Mr. A?

A. It was straight.              B. It was awkward.

C. It was challenging.           D. It was impressive.

31. How did the author change in math?

A. She made slow progress.

B. She fell in love with math.

C. She became a straight-A math student.
