Module 1　My First Day at Senior High 现在，你成了一名高中生。你还记得第一天上学的情形吗？是不是既兴奋又忐忑不安地走进了校园呢？ It was my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened.On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and rehearsed all the answers，“I am nine years old. I was born here but I havent lived here since I was two.I was living in Farley.I came back to London two months ago.”I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me，but I was tall for my age.I hoped they would decide not to risk it. No one took any notice of me before school.I stood in the center of the playground，expecting someone to say “hello”，but no one spoke to me.When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was，one or two boys looked at me but that was all the curiosity my arrival aroused. My teacher was called Mr.Jones.There were 42 boys in the class，so I didnt stand out there，either，until the first lesson of the afternoon.Mr.Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from “David Copperfield”，but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens birthplace，but no one guessed right.A boy called Brian，the biggest in the class，said：“Timbuktu”，and Mr.Jones went red in the face.Then he asked me.I said，“Portsmouth”，and everyone stared at me because Mr.Jones said I was right. This is the beginning of my school years. 1．rehearse v．排练；训练 2．curiosity n．好奇心 3．arouse v．引起；激发 4．David Copperfield《大卫·科波菲尔》，狄更斯的代表作之一 5．I stood in the center of the playground，expecting someone to say“hello”，but no one spoke to me.
