106 对数学绝不马虎 Very serious about math

A little girl was failing math. Her mother enrolled her in Catholic school in the hopes to improve her math grades. During the first marking period,her mother noticed a dramatic improvement in her math studies. In order to study more,the girl would refuse playing with friends or eating dessert after dinner. On report card day,her mother was astonished to see that her daughter got an A + in math.

She asked her daughter,"Why the sudden change of attitude about math—do the nuns punish you"

The girl replied,"No,but when I saw the little man on the wall nailed to the plus sign,I knew that this school was very serious about math！"

一个小姑娘数学不好,她妈妈把她转学到一所天主教学校,希望她的数学有进步。在第一阶段考试,她的数学成绩就有了很大进步。为了能学得更多,她饭后不吃甜食,也不去和小朋友玩。期末发成绩报告单的时候,她妈妈惊讶地发现她的数学得了A+。

她妈妈问她:"为什么你学习数学的态度有了这么大的转变? 是不是修女们惩罚你了?"

小姑娘回答说:"不是,不过当我看见墙上那个小男人被钉在加号上面,我知道这所学校对数学是绝不马虎的。"
