Chapter 49 Doctors don't heal themselves
The weekly "Music Friday" evening was held again in the theater as scheduled.
After Bai Xinrui finished playing the flute, she dragged a long gauze skirt and left the stage elegantly, and the audience erupted in warm applause.
Before the applause stopped, a line of words was typed on the electronic screen on the side of the stage, "Song: Rock n' Let It Go", and there was a burst of discussion from the audience, "I've heard of 'Go with the Wind', but I haven't heard of a rock song with the same name." ”
"It can't be original, right?"
At this moment, a set of drums and keyboards were set on the stage, and Mia, with pink hair, black leather and ripped jeans, walked onto the stage, followed by a few cool boys with guitars and bass in their arms.
"Hey, Mia's rock band seems to be growing again." Lee was curious about such an emerging combination.
"Shhhh Amanda went back to teach her junior brother a lesson, and she didn't forget to show off her omniscience.
"Gee, why does that name sound a bit like a spray?" Kevin looked at Mia's hot body and snorted, "However, this chick's body is getting more and more exciting!" ”
The auditorium fell silent, the clean acoustic guitar disintegrated, the keyboard sound slowly entered, and a string of preludes was played, and then, Mia's cold and gorgeous voice like a golden jade hit sounded over the theater, and the students immediately heard that it was the theme song of "Frozen" "Let it go", but this group of rock teenagers rearranged the song and changed it to a rock style, adding "Rock n'" in front of the original name.
Mia's singing voice is tactful and low at first, and then open and grand, surging momentum, and the addition of cymbals and bass adds passion and dynamism to this Disney beautiful fairy tale-style tune, completely turning the music style into the feeling of a hot-blooded teenager.
“…… Well now they know..."After Mia opened her arms and sang this sentence in a full, metallic long note, a clear cymbal, accompanied by a powerful chord that bordered on distortion, Mia sang a beautiful and loud chorus of the song: "Let it go, Let it go, Can't hold back any more...... ”
When * reappeared repeatedly, Mia threw off the biker jacket on her body, revealing a short tight top, dancing to the sound of music, even without the magnificent 34F chest, her slender waist exposed from under the short top and slender legs in tight jeans were enough to ignite the audience's emotions, not to mention the music that could make the audience dry and sexy with wild singing.
At this time, the lead singer Mia stood in the center of the stage, as if she was a burning luminous body, and the deafening drums, restless bass, and Mia's shouting dedication to singing made the audience excited, and by the last few phrases of the song, it almost became a chorus......
Bai Xinrui, who had not yet left, stood by the side curtain and looked at the passionate Mia, with a hint of envy in her envy.

"The meaning expressed in the virtual active past tense and the virtual active completion can be very different, let's look at Glius, the role played by these two tenses in the Night of Attica......" Mr. Lycaon sat at the end of the oval table, with a large Latin dictionary in hard orange at hand, conspicuously flat on the table, like a stack of heavy bricks.
In addition to learning a modern language as a second foreign language, Latin is also a compulsory subject for each student, but there are very few people who can actually read Latin AP (Advanced Placement for college credits).
There are many students who sign up for this course in the senior year, because AP Latin is not only a powerful weapon, but also a way to prove IQ to college admissions officers, and it is a very useful tool for those who are interested in pursuing a career in medicine, biology, law, etc. in the future.
At the beginning of the semester, there was a time when the classrooms were overcrowded, but after about two weeks of study, almost half of the students were deterred by the boring and boring ancient texts that were far from the real world.
There were only seven people sitting around the empty Harkness Round Table, who had been ridiculed by their classmates as gods or language geeks.
Now in his fourth year with the esteemed veteran scholar, William has studied the course so hard not just to expand his vocabulary for SAT preparation and to learn more words from Latin roots.
In his vision for the future, he wanted to make a mark in law and history, and he hoped that he would be able to read through valuable texts from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance by mastering Latin, what is known to be the "dead language".
Of course, in the examination papers of the stern Monsieur Lycaon, William also had times when he was full of papers that were miserably wrong, and at this time, there was a deeper belief in his heart that supported him, and no matter how hard he worked, he had to integrate this language.
Since ancient times, Latin has been the rite of youth of the most cultured and cultured aristocratic men, and this language is a cultural gene that flows upwards to distinguish them from craftsmen, merchants, and farmers, and become theologians, doctors, or lawyers at the top of the pyramid of society, and William is using his own strength to climb to the top of the pyramid with the help of the wand of Latin.
William admired Mr. Lucaon's style of lecturing, but today he has difficulty concentrating. His eyes were fixed on an open web page on the computer screen, his fingers manipulating the computer mouse, and clicking over and over the small circle in the upper right corner of the browser that did not close completely.
Knowing that the time for the results to be released was 2 o'clock in the afternoon, William began to refresh the mailbox on the application page from 1:40.
He stared intently at the computer, his cheeks flushed, the pale blue blood vessels on his forehead bulged slightly due to the sudden increase in blood flow velocity, and his hands were subconsciously clenched into fists, and beads of sweat were forming in his palms.
He picked up the water bottle on the table and drank it all in one gulp, but he could not calm the burning sensation inside, like a prisoner waiting for a sentence, like a terminally ill patient on a hospital bed, like meat placed on a chopping board, powerless against the impending fate.
When William's hand refreshed the page again, he saw that there was an extra Arabic numeral "1" in parentheses in the upper right corner of the inbox for no apparent reason. His index finger quickly moved over the silver-white mouse board, and after double-clicking twice, the page loaded......
William's heart pounded, he felt a sweet throat in his eyes, his ears buzzed, the only thing he could do now was stare at the blue bar at the top of the page from left to right, as if he had never felt as slow as a turtle crawling on the school network as it did today.
"Oh my God! I was accepted. After an exclamation, William Huoran jumped up from his chair, his face flushed, his hands clenched into fists waving in the air, and his mouth let out excited cheers.
The only university that has issued an REA (Restrictive Early Action) admission result today is the world-famous Harvard University.
Jacob, who was closest to William, leaned over and glanced at his computer screen, and immediately his eyes lit up, and he stood up excitedly and shook William's hand, and said in admiration: "Congratulations! Congratulations! ”
With irrepressible excitement on his face, William shook hands with Jacob, Hunter, Bastian and others around him one by one, and said apologetically to Dr. Lucaon at the front of the classroom: "Sorry, Dr. Lucaon, I just checked the application results of Harvard University......"
William was already tall and tall, but at this moment, everyone was sitting, and he was the only one standing, which made it even more magnificent, and lined the teachers and classmates in the classroom, along with the old heavy wooden tables and chairs, and through the enthusiastic smiling faces and praises of his classmates, he explained in a humble tone to Dr. Lucaon, but the corners of his eyebrows and lips were already high: "...... I can't wait for the end of class......"
Mr. Lucaon, who usually does not smile, also stopped his lecture, looked at William with gray-brown eyes, and laughed out loud, and said, "Haha, congratulations on becoming my alumnus!" When I was admitted as a doctoral student at Harvard University's Graduate School of Education, I happened to participate in a panel discussion at an international language conference. I can certainly understand your mood right now. Congratulations! William. ”
William sat back in his seat and read the entire email in one breath, the joy that came as expected was still a little violent, and his heart kept pounding in his chest! After being admitted to Harvard University, all kinds of dividend effects filled his fast-running brain.
For the wealthy children of the school's prominent families, being admitted to an Ivy League university is nothing more than completing another meaningful challenge in their lives, and taking another step towards their bright future and expected success.
You know, like Rogers, Quentin, Ross, Abdullah, these students have a lot of alumni of Ivy League schools in their parents' families, and perhaps on the campuses of today's Yale, Brown, Penn or Dartmouth colleges, there are scholarships named after their ancestors, or buildings named after their families.
