第52章 谁是乔治·华盛顿

A teacher was asking a student a lot of questions,but the student couldn't answer any of them.The teacher then decided to ask him some very easy questions so that he could get a few right.

“What was Bunker Hill?”she said.

The student thought for some time and then answered,“An airport?”

“No,it was a battle.”the teacher said.She was getting a little angry,but she was trying not to show it.Then she asked,“Who was the first President of the United States?”

The student thought for a long time,but didn't say anything.Then the teacher got angry and shouted,“George Washington!”The student got up and began to walk towards his seat.

“Come back!”the teacher said.“I didn't tell you to go.”

“Oh,I'm sorry.”the student said,“I thought you called the next student.”

她说:“班克·希尔是什么?”

这位学生想了一会儿,然后回答:“一个飞机场?”

老师说:“不!是一场战役!”她有点生气了,但她还是尽量不表现出来。接着,她问道:“美国第一任总统是谁?”

这位学生想了好长一段时间,但还是一言未发。老师非常生气,大喊道:“乔治·华盛顿!”学生站了起来,开始走回自己的座位。

老师说:“回来!我没叫你回去!”

这位学生说:“哦!对不起!我以为你叫下一个学生呢!”
