5、going through it, puppy love feels like the real thing. Woman: Lets see. When I was a sophomore in high school, I had a crush on my biology teacher. Man: A biology teacher, oh my!

8、it out of focus. On the contrary, I hated compulsory education with a passion. I could never quite accept the notion of having to go to school while the fish were biting. 3 But in my sophomore year, something beautiful and exciting happened. Cupid aimed his arrow and struck me right in the heart. Al
9、l at once, I enjoyed going to school, if only to gaze at the lovely face in English II.,Language Points,4 My princess sat near the pencil sharpener, and that year I ground up enough pencils to fuel a campfire. Alas, Debbie was far beyond my wildest dreams. We were separated not only by five rows of
10、desks, but by about 50 I.Q. points. She was the top student in English II, the apple of Mrs. Larrivees eye. 5 Occasionally, Debbie would catch me staring at her, and she would flash a smile that radiated intelligence and quickened my heartbeat. It was a smile that signaled hope and made me temporari
11、ly forget the intellectual gulf that separated us.,Language Points,6 I schemed desperately to bridge that gulf. And one day, as I was passing the supermarket, an idea came to me. A sign in the window announced that the store was offering the first volume of a set of encyclopedias at the special pric
12、e of 29 cents. The remaining volumes would cost $2.49 each. 7 I purchased Volume I Aardvark to Asteroid and began my venture into the world of knowledge. I would henceforth become a seeker of facts. I would become Chief Brain in English II and sweep my princess off her feet with a surge of erudition
13、. I had it all planned.,Language Points,8 My first opportunity came one day in the cafeteria line. I looked behind me and there she was. 9 “Hi,” she said. 10 After a pause, I wet my lips and said, “Know where anchovies come from?” 11 She seemed surprised. “No, I dont.” 12 I breathed a sigh of relief
14、. “The anchovy lives in salt water and is rarely found in fresh water.” I had to talk fast, so that I could get all the facts in before we reached the cash register. “Fishermen catch anchovies in the Mediterranean Sea and along the Atlantic coast near Spain and Portugal.”,Language Points,13 “How fas
15、cinating,” said Debbie, shaking her head in disbelief. It was obvious that I had made quite an impression. 14 A few days later, during a fire drill, I casually went up to her and asked, “Ever been to the Aleutian Islands?” 15 “Never have,” she replied. 16 “Might be a nice place to visit, but I certa
16、inly wouldnt want to live there,” I said. 17 “Why not?” said Debbie, playing right into my hands.,Language Points,18 “Well, the climate is forbidding. There are no trees on any of the 100 or more islands in the group. The ground is rocky and very little plant life can grow on it.” 19 “I dont think I
17、d even care to visit,” she said. 20 The fire drill was over and we began to file into the building, so I had to step it up to get the natives in. “The Aleuts are short and sturdy and have dark skin and black hair. They live on fish, and they trap blue foxes and seals for their valuable fur.”,Languag
18、e Points,21 Debbies eyes widened in amazement. 22 One day I was browsing through the library. I spotted Debbie sitting at a table, absorbed in a crossword puzzle. She was frowning, apparently stumped on a word. I leaned over and asked if I could help. 23 “Four-letter word for Oriental female servant
19、,” Debbie said. 24 “Try amah,” I said, quick as a flash. 25 Debbie filled in the blanks, then turned to stare at me in amazement. “I dont believe it,” she said. “I just dont believe it.”,Language Points,26 And so it went, that glorious, joyous, romantic sophomore year. Debbie seemed to relish our li
20、ttle conversations and hung on my every word. Naturally, the more I read, the more my confidence grew. 27 In the classroom, too, I was gradually making my presence felt. One day, during a discussion of Coleridges “The Ancient Mariner”, we came across the word albatross. 28 “Can anyone tell us what a
21、n albatross is?” asked Mrs. Larrivee.,Language Points,29 My hand shot up. “The albatross is a large bird that lives mostly in the ocean regions below the equator, but may be found in the north Pacific as well. The albatross measures as long as four feet and has the greatest wingspread of any bird. I
22、t feeds on fish and shellfish. The albatross has an enormous appetite, and when its full it has trouble getting into the air again.” 30 There was a long silence in the room. Mrs. Larrivee couldnt quite believe what she had just heard. I sneaked a look at Debbie and gave her a big wink. She beamed pr
23、oudly and winked back.,Language Points,31 What I failed to perceive was that Debbie all this while was going steady with a junior from a neighboring school a basketball player with a C+ average. The revelation hit me hard, and for a while I felt like forgetting everything I had learned. I had saved
24、enough money to buy Volume II Asthma to Bullfinch but was strongly tempted to invest in a basketball instead. 32 I felt not only hurt, but betrayed. Like Agamemnon, but with less drastic consequences, thank God.,Language Points,33 In time I recovered from my wounds. The next year Debbie moved from t
25、he neighborhood and transferred to another school. Soon she became no more than a memory. 34 Although the original incentive was gone, I continued poring over the encyclopedias, as well as an increasing number of other books. Having tasted of the wine of knowledge, I could not now alter my course. F
