Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors (家庭教师), cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教) school.
After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother and say hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying.

She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before.

I remember my math teacher Mr. Young very well. He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers, and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be taken to the" big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks. I just couldn’t understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr. Young would give me an E ,just like he always did.
I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card. He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I
A. mind-blowing
B. slow-witted
C. fun-loving
D. badly-behaved
