Chapter FIVE 'Isadora!' said Zoe the following day when I walked into the classroom. 'How was the maths test yesterday?' I looked at my best friend in confusion. 'I don't know,' I said. 'I wasn't here. I was ill.' 'Oh!' said Zoe. 'I was ill too! I had

第五章伊莎多拉！第二天，当我走进教室时，佐伊说。 “昨天的数学考得怎么样？”我困惑地看着我最好的朋友。 “我不知道，”我说。“我不在这儿。 我病了。“哦!佐伊说。 “我也病了！”我有

a bad sneezy cold. We must have both missed it.'

严重的打喷嚏性感冒。我们一定都错过了。”

Then Miss Cherry came into the room. 'Good morning class!' she beamed. 'I hope everyone's feeling better. We had so many of you off ill yesterday that I decided to postpone the maths test until today!' I felt a tiny squiggle of nervousness but this time it was mixed in with excitement too. Miss Cherry handed out paper and pencils. 'Now, there is nothing to worry about,' she said. 'All you have to do is try your best. It's just for me to see how well you're getting on. Nobody will know your score but me.'

这时，樱桃小姐走进了房间。 “同学们早上好！”她笑道。 “我希望每个人都感觉好些了。 昨天你们很多人都生病了，所以我决定把数学考试推迟到今天！”我感到一丝紧张，但这次也夹杂着兴奋。 Cherry小姐发了纸和铅笔。 “现在，没什么好担心的了，”她说。 你所要做的就是尽你最大的努力。 我只是想看看你过得怎么样。 除了我，没人会知道你的分数。”

Miss Cherry began to read out the questions and I put my head down and focused on the test. Some of the questions were easy and some were hard but I knew that I was getting more right than I would usually. Visions of dancing fruit kept floating into my head, making me smile. It made it easier to think of the right answers! At the end of the test, Miss Cherry said we could mark our own papers. She read out the answers and I only got a few wrong. It felt nice to see quite a few ticks on my piece of paper. 'Wowhoo I got full marks!' whooped Zoe from next to me. 'Well done, Zoe,' I smiled.

切里小姐开始朗读问题，我低下头，专注于考试。 有些问题很简单，有些很难，但我知道我比平时答对了更多。 水果跳舞的画面不断浮现在我的脑海里，逗得我笑了。 这样更容易想出正确的答案！考试结束时，切里小姐说我们可以自己批改试卷。 她把答案念出来，我只错了几个。 看到我的纸上打了几个勾，感觉很好。 “哇呜，我得了满分！”佐伊在我旁边嚷道。 “干得好，佐伊，”我笑着说。
