Chapter 29: Learning
"Learn to learn, learn to be a hammer!" Meng Xiaohao, who was in the apartment, looked at the textbooks that had given him a headache for so many years, and his heart was extremely painful, "Why do you have to take exams, my God, I don't want to study!" Meng Xiaohao looked up to the sky and let out a long roar.
Meng Xiaohao only took two days off since the McDonald's All-Star ended, and then put himself into training again, but unlike the usual training, his training time was much shorter, because he needed to study and cope with the UCLA test of his learning ability next week.
Meng Xiaohao thought of having to take an exam, and instantly collapsed on the table, "I don't want to take an exam, I don't want to study, I feel sleepy when I read a book, it's too painful!" As he spoke, Meng Xiaohao yawned loudly.
"My mother is also really amazing, these textbooks can be mailed from China in just one week, one is not bad, how boring she must be!" Meng Xiaohao's exam was Meng Xiaohao's high school coach who Reed contacted, and then his mother was told by the high school coach, but his mother was very excited when she heard about it, and without saying a word, she immediately mailed the book, and it arrived before Meng Xiaohao finished playing the McDonald's All-Star, which caught Meng Xiaohao off guard.
"Let's learn!" Meng Xiaohao looked at the pile of textbooks that made his scalp tingle, and sighed helplessly, "My God, he is torturing me!" ”
……
"How? These two days of study? On the morning of the third morning, Reed looked at Meng Xiaohao, who was not in a very good mental state, and asked.
"Very good, the learning is super good, I feel like I'm going to ascend to immortal!" Meng Xiaohao glanced at Reed, "This is no different from killing someone, this is slowly torturing my soul!" ”
Reed looked at Meng Xiaohao, who was complaining, and shook his head helplessly, "Do you know why the exam was arranged for you?" ”
"Isn't it just something, just to see how good I am! Didn't you already say that? ”
"This reason is just one of them."
"Huh? And why is that? ”
"Do you know what it takes to be a member of the UCLA basketball team to get a chance to play?"
Meng Xiaohao was a little puzzled, "Isn't it just that you play well?" Speak with strength. ”
"That's really one of those things......" Reed paused, "Again, you need results!" ”
"What do you want grades?" Meng Xiaohao heard Reed mention the word "achievement", and an ominous premonition began to pour out of his heart.
"In the UCLA basketball team, there is a rule that you are only eligible to play if you have a grade B in your major, otherwise, you can only be a substitute!"
"I'll drop a good ......" Hearing this, Meng Xiaohao slumped all over, "My God, are you testing me?" ”
"The time of the American college league is the end of November every year, before that, our school will conduct a midterm exam to evaluate the students' results, if you can't get to B, then sorry, you have no chance with the game, you can only watch from the bench, this is the rule, it must not be changed, although UCLA is also a strong school in the American college league, but it is still an academic university at the beginning!" Reed said very seriously, not like he was teasing Meng Xiaohao.
"Huh? That's not right! Meng Xiaohao suddenly remembered something, "The exam must be a university course, it has nothing to do with my current high school course, so why should I study high school courses?" ”
"Isn't this nonsense?" Reed glanced at Meng Xiaohao, "If you do well in this exam, you will have the right to choose your own major, wouldn't it be good to choose a major that you are interested in, and it will not be much easier to take the B exam when the time comes!" If you don't do well in the exam, you won't have this right, and when the time comes, you will be assigned to a major you don't like, and your life will be ruined! ”
Meng Xiaohao held his forehead, his eyes were gloomy......
Looking at Meng Xiaohao's appearance of losing his life goal in an instant, Reed couldn't help laughing, "Xiaohao, don't be like this, there is a good saying, what you gain, you have to lose what you lose!" ”
"Let me be quiet! Thank you! Meng Xiaohao waved his hand and motioned for Reed to stop talking, "I don't have the courage to listen anymore......"
……
"What's going on with him now?" During Meng Xiaohao's lunch break, Chris found Reed.
"When he sees his homework, it's like seeing an enemy, and there is a good saying that when an enemy sees each other, his eyes are red." Reed smiled bitterly, "When I told him today that he still needed to get a B grade, he had already exploded on the spot...... There is no love on the face! ”
"Hahaha! This kid! Chris couldn't help but laugh when he heard Reed's description, "But I really didn't expect his academic performance to be so poor!" I see he speaks English very well, huh? ”
"Isn't that to be able to do a career in the United States? For the sake of long-term thinking, so we can work hard and motivate ourselves. Reed spread his hands, "This perseverance is really worth affirming, I believe he can also study hard, this is also related to his future!" ”
……
Because of the reduction in training time, Meng Xiaohao will have more time in the bedroom to read the pile of books that he wants to burn. Meng Xiaohao looked at the pile of books blankly, and didn't turn a page for a long time......
"If you don't want to study, but if you don't study, you won't be able to get a good score, if you can't choose a major that you're interested in, if you're not interested, you won't study hard, if you don't study hard, you won't be able to get B, and if you can't get B, you won't have a chance to play...... Yes! It's annoying! Meng Xiaohao grabbed his hair, but immediately, like a ball deflated, he collapsed on the table in an instant.
"But that's my dream and my future!" Meng Xiaohao lay on the table and sighed, "If you don't have the opportunity to play in college, you won't attract the attention of scouts from professional teams, and no one will ask you to go for a trial when the time comes, and then ......."
In this short period of time, Meng Xiaohao directly put "If Meng Xiaohao doesn't study well, then what will Meng Xiaohao's future be?" I fantasized about it all over again, and then I sat up directly, "No, no, I can't stop studying, otherwise I'll die miserably!" ”
Meng Xiaohao touched his face, and faintly felt a few drops of cold sweat running down, "No, study!" With that, Meng Xiaohao opened the book and continued his study.
Because Meng Xiaohao just imagined his own consequences, Meng Xiaohao's learning efficiency began to be greatly improved, basketball is too important for Meng Xiaohao, and Meng Xiaohao has paid too much in basketball, if his basketball dream is shattered because of his academic performance, then Meng Xiaohao will not have a stable life in this life.
……
A week is fleeting, and there is still one day left before Meng Xiaohao's UCLA self-exam.
In the past few days, Meng Xiaohao seems to be obsessed, in addition to training, eating and sleeping, and some normal physiological exercises, Meng Xiaohao is staying in his bedroom, studying frantically, the purpose is to get a good score, and then he can choose a major that he is still interested in, so that it will be more helpful for him to get a B.
"I have never worked so hard to learn English except for the time I spent studying before......" Looking at the books that were closed by himself, Meng Xiaohao smiled bitterly and leaned on the back of his seat, "Life is to give you a big cake, which makes you particularly moved, but it suddenly slapped you in the mouth, and then asked you with a smile, are you surprised, not surprised, it's annoying!" ”
Meng Xiaohao turned his head and looked at his calendar, "It's going to be an exam tomorrow, it's so annoying, I've read it almost once, but I still feel a lot worse, let's take a look at it again while I still have time tonight!" As he spoke, Meng Xiaohao opened the book that had already been closed......
"I studied hard before I knew it, and now I won't be so tired!" Meng Xiaohao began to regret it again, "I remember saying the same thing when I was learning English before!" Meng Xiaohao suddenly remembered what he had said when he was learning English before, and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
"Read a book! Tomorrow is the battle! ”
