Midterm reading review


Read the following passage and answer the questions in 英文:

因为我的数学老师很无聊,数学也很难,所以我的数学考得特别不好。我考了四十七分。数学老师除了很无聊以外,他还非常严肃。我不喜欢做数学功课。
我的中文也没有考好。我的说话小考考了五十九分。我的老师说我的发音特别不好,我说的话她都听不懂。她说我也写得不好,我写字她都看不懂。我觉得这是因为我的中文老师耳朵不好,眼睛也不好。她该去给医生检查一下。吃一点儿药。
我最喜欢历史课了!我的历史老师长得闭月羞花,身材娇小。她的皮肤晒成古铜色的。她的性格很温柔。但是因为每天上课我都忙着看我的老师,所以我没有听她说话。我这星期的历史大考得很糟糕,我考了六十二分。
我的妈妈很生气,她说因为我太懒,不学习,所以考试考不好。她说明天开始我不能和女朋友去约会,也不能和朋友去看电影,打电玩和打篮球。我必须在家念中文课文,练习写中文字。我也必须复习数学和预习历史。
