提分练十一　UNIT 6(A组) 阅读理解 A　体裁:记叙文　主题语境:学校生活　难度:★★★☆☆ The bell rang. Jada sighed, slowly moved from the lockers where she had been leaning, and headed down the hall to her chemistry class. Honors Chemistry! Jada couldn’t believe that her mom was making her take the class because Jada’s counselor had said that she had real talent in science. Jada had to admit that she liked science and that last year’s class was a breeze, but come on, Honors Chemistry? She wouldn’t know anyone in the class, and they probably wouldn’t know anyone like her. The good thing about being late is that it shortened the period a bit. The bad thing is that it made her seem like she was making a grand entrance. To make matters worse, the only two seats left in class were at the lab table at the very front of the room. Jada held her breath and walked in. Everyone’s eyes were on her. She just knew it. They were staring at her coal black hair (freshly dyed), her black lipstick, her black fingernail polish, and her thrift⁃store black leather jacket. All she saw were polo shirts and khaki pants. This can’t get any worse, Jada thought. But at least she didn’t get shouted at by the teacher. He was too busy talking to a new kid. A HUGE new kid, maybe 6'4″. He had to weigh at least 250 pounds. A football player, probably. She hated football players. They thought they were so great. That group of jocks that hung out by the cafeteria always made fun of her. The new kid made his way over to her table with his head down. He had to squeeze into the seat, and his legs wouldn’t fit under the lab table. He shot Jada a glance and turned red. Mr. Martin, the teacher, began class with this announcement: “Okay, everyone. I know most of you know each other from last year’s Honors Physical Science class.” Jada sighed loudly. “But just take a minute and introduce yourself to the person sitting at your table. You’ll be partners. You’ll be working closely together all year.” Jada rolled her eyes and stared straight ahead.
