It was time for lunch. Mr El's fourth graders were waiting in line (排队等候)for lunch. Mr El said, "Every year we use alphabetical order (字母表顺序)to get lunch, to get on the school bus, to go home and so on. This year we will use reverse(反向的)alphabetical order. "
Mindy Vale put up her hand, "I always stood at the back of the line! Now I'm near the front. Thank you, thank you!"
The teacher smiled. Then he saw Christopher Cash raise his hand. "Mr EI, I don't think this is a good idea. This could be difficult for some of us!" he said.
"Don't worry, Christopher. We only have smart kids in this class. "
"How many of you think this is a good idea" asked Mr EI. Some students put up their hands. Many of them were usually at the back of the line. Zoe Watney put up her hand the highest.
