When I was in fourth grade, we have reading circles. Students would sit in a circle and read aloud different parts of books. Then the teacher would ask us questions. I loved to answer those questions. I was an advanced(高阶的)reader and a very fast reader. That meant that whenever the teacher started asking us questions, my voice would be the first to call out the answers. The teacher was very surprised.
This went on for a while, and everybody was pretty patient with me. But the teacher was getting tired of my behavior. One day, she put me in the corner, out of the circle.
Did this stop me? I am afraid not. I was simply excited about what I had read. From the corner of the room, I kept on listening and reading --reading away. When the teacher asked questions, I would still shout out the answers -but from across the room.
After I'd done this a few times, the teacher became angry.The next day, my mother was asked to come to school. She reminded the teacher that I was just trying to be a good student and that I needed to be challenged more. However, it was also made clear to me that there were other students in the class and they needed a chance to for the talk , too.
In the end, we worked out a solution. I would sit in the circle with the other students, but I would be given more advanced books to read. After the reading circle was over, the teacher would spend timebefore talking with me about what I had read.
And so, although I am embarrassed, I learned a lesson from it.

①The snake comes sixth in the Chinese zodiac(生肖).
②In Western culture, the description of this animal as dark and terrible is very common, from The Farmer and the Viper (毒蛇),in which the farmer is hurt by the snake he has just saved, to the tale at the start of the Bible (《圣经》)of the snake cheating Adam and Eve, and to Voldemort(伏地魔), the main bad character in Harry Potter, whose true form is a snake.
③It's not hard to understand, since snakes, with their strange looks and sound, are not exactly cute. But believe it or not, in traditional Chinese culture, snakes are actually a symbol of something good.
④In Chinese folk stories, for example, the creator of man is a goddess named Nüwa, who has a human head and the body of a snake. She created humans with the yellow earth to which she would later give life. Nuwa was kind, peace-loving and brave. She lost her life to mend(修补)the broken sky.
⑤In literature (文学),one of China's most famous folk stories is The Tale of the White Snake, which tells of the love between a man Xu Xian, and a snake - turned woman, Bai Suzhen. In the story, Bai is a symbol of beauty and loyalty to love and friends.
