Part I Understanding ideas（主题理解）——My First Day at Senior High
Monday, 4 September | 9月4日，星期一 |
After I had pictured it over and over again in my mind, the big day finally arrived: my first day at senior high! I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my eagerness to get to know my new school. | 当我在脑海中一遍又一遍地想象过之后，这个重要的日子终于到来了——我上高中的第一天！我早早地醒来，迫不及待地冲出家门，渴望去认识我的新学校。 |
The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. “New here?” Turning around, I saw a white-haired man. “Yes,” I replied. “I’m wondering what life is going to be like here.” “Don’t worry,” he gave me a smile. “You’ll soon find out.” | 我到达时校园里还很安静，于是我决定四处转一转。我正在看布告栏上的照片，忽然听到身后有一个声音。“新来的？”我转过身，看见一位白头发的男士。“是的，”我回答道，“我想知道在这里生活会是什么样子。”“别担心，”他朝我笑了笑，“你很快就会知道的。” |
How true these words were! When my English teacher stepped into the classroom, I was surprised to see the same man I had met earlier. | 这些话说得多么对啊！当我的英语老师走进教室时，我惊讶地发现他正是我之前遇到的那位男士。 |
“Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one and introduce yourself to the class. I’ll go first…” | “大家早上好。在开始之前，请依次到前面来做自我介绍。我先来……” |
“What?!” I tried to turn on my brain but the engine just wouldn’t start. “I should say my name, of course. But what else? What could I say to make a good first impression? Something about my insect collection, perhaps.” I was organising my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a nudge. “It’s your turn!” | “什么？!”我努力想让大脑运转起来，可这台“引擎”就是发动不了。“我当然得说自己的名字。可除此之外呢？我该说些什么才能留下好的第一印象呢？也许可以谈谈我的昆虫标本。”我正在脑子里组织语言，旁边的女孩轻轻捅了我一下：“轮到你了！” |
With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply. “Hi, I’m Meng Hao.” Everyone started laughing. I looked at them in panic. “Nice to know we share the same name,” said my new teacher. I had been too nervous to pay attention when he introduced himself! Although I was embarrassed, his words made me a lot more relaxed! | 我心里七上八下，深深地吸了一口气。“嗨，我是孟浩。”大家都笑了起来。我惊慌地看着他们。“很高兴我们同名同姓，”我的新老师说。刚才他做自我介绍时，我紧张得根本没留心听！尽管很尴尬，但他的话让我放松多了！ |
When we had all introduced ourselves, Mr Meng said, “Well done, everyone! I know this isn’t easy for many of you. But this is just the kind of thing you are going to face at senior high. Challenges like this might sometimes put you under pressure. But it all depends on what you do. Keep calm and be prepared. That way, you’ll make the most of your time at senior high.” | 当我们都做完自我介绍后，孟老师说：“大家做得很好！我知道这对你们许多人来说并不容易。但这正是你们在高中将要面对的事情。这样的挑战有时可能会让你们感到压力。但这完全取决于你们怎么做。保持冷静，做好准备。这样，你们就能充分利用你们的高中时光。” |
People say, “Well begun, half done.” I guess this was a good beginning to my new school life. | 人们常说：“好的开始是成功的一半。”我想，这是我新学校生活的一个良好开端。 |
