The study rooms in the library are on a first-come, first-served basis, i.e. it does not allow reservation for the study room, so we must be there before the library opens the door.  Please arrive no later than 12:55 PM in front of the library door near the parking lot.

Please bring Kaplan book, Princeton Review book, a calculator, a pen and blank papers.

———————————————————————————————————————————-

What if you can not attend the make up class on Feb.19,

I will offer the same make up class at the same location on either April 8 or April 15 afternoon, 1 – 3 PM, and 3 – 5 PM.  Both days are Sundays and there are no Chinese school on these two days.  Please let me know which day and session works for you, April 8 or April 15?

The make up class will cover Chapter 12, Chemical Kinetics on Kaplan book.  This chapter is very independent in terms of its connection with the later chapters.  So there should be no negative impact on studying future chapters if one has to attend the make up class in April. 

Thank you for your corporation.

寒门子弟 母亲炒瓜子培养出“航天英雄” – 第六,八课附加教材

中国航天员翟志刚2008 年9月27日完成太空行走后…综合新华社驻外记者报道:

翟志刚幼时家境困难,由于父亲长年卧病在床,家全靠母亲贾桂芝卖瓜子支撑。从中学到高中,翟志刚每天放学到家就做饭,然后骑自行车把妈妈从镇上接回来,再帮妈妈炒一锅瓜子,再匆匆赶回学校上晚自习,六年里风雨不误。

空军飞行学院来招人了,翟志刚高兴地报了名。得到考上消息的那天,母亲比翟志刚都高兴,“哎哟,我老儿子可出息啦!” 贾桂芝向邻居借了20元钱,给翟志刚买了一个旅行包,可是却没有什么东西来装满它。母亲实在是没有什么可以给儿子带的,便细心地炒了一锅瓜子,一粒粒地选出个大饱满的,装到旅行包里,可还是撑不鼓包,老人对着旅行包默默流泪。

临走前一天,母亲从贴身的小包里掏出一张带着体温的5元钱,硬塞到儿子手里。翟志刚将一个用纸糊的小箱子留给母亲,里面全是1分、2分、5分的硬币,这是他高中3年积攒的零用钱,足有100多元,看到这些全家人都哭了。翟志刚到学校后,每月津贴12元,自己只留下2元,其余全寄给了母亲。
