老师仰起头，眼神犀利地扫视台下的一圈学生，道。
秦悠迅速站起来，目光炯炯地看着虞老师，用一口流利的英式英语背诵道:“San Francisco, May 5,1906.The earthquake that hit San Francisco on April 18 shook down hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of walls and chimneys.But the fire that followed burned up hundreds of millions of dollarsworth of buildings and homes.Never before in history has a city been so completely destroyed. San Francisco is gone.The factories, the great stores and newspaper buildings,the hotels, and the great houses of the rich are all gone.On Wednesday morning at a quarter past five came the earthquake. ”
“Perfect.12号翻倍，24号接着背。”
“A moment later, the disaster was a fact.South of Market Street in the working-class neighbourhoods and in the factoriesfires started.Within an hour of the first quake the smoke could be seen 100 miles away.The sun was red in the dark sky. There was no stopping the fires.The firefighters to whom the task was given did their best but there was no way to organise or communicate.The railway tracks were now useless and there was no water in water pipes.All of the ways man had made to keep the city safe were gone in the 30 seconds the earth moved.By Wednesday afternoon, half the heart of the city was gone.”

“所有人，不带任何东西往前挪一排，第一排坐到最后一排去，我们开始发默写用具。2分钟后开始默写。”她神情严肃地说道。

“Are you ready? ”
“Ready.”
“1、交换、交流、交易；2、惊吓的、害怕的；3、留下好印象…”虞老师看那个单词顺眼，她就报哪一个，防止自己忘掉，她特意录了音。
听写结束后，虞老师让学生们各自回到各自的座位上。她冲着大家微微一笑，开始给大家授课。边讲边在本子上速记下来一些人的名字。
下课铃不合时宜地响起，虞老师还有一小道题没有讲完，可她从来不拖堂。她在本子上记下来今天讲到了哪里，下节来的时候再讲。
“殷著年、柳慕、仲琼雅、27号谢羡霆带上你们的英语书跟我去办公室;“随即她
补充立刻补充道，“10号、20号、30号也带着书来。简芊瑾你也过来。”
就个人排成一条队伍，浩浩荡荡地往办公室走。到办公室门口后，她让其余人站在门口等候，谢羡霆先跟他进去。
到了办公室里，谢羡霆局促地站在虞老师的桌边。“开始吧。”她冷笑着说。
谢羡霆有惊无险地背完课文。
紧接着就是“兴师问罪”了。三个人领的罚各不相同：殷著年是罚抄单词表3遍，3日晚自习前得出现在她的办公桌上；仲琼雅是“喜提”试卷一张，5日午
