The soles of Professor McCarthy's shoes are in close contact with the ground, getting closer
This time, Xia Xiaolan didn't sit alone. She and Richard were in a team, which was considered organized. Although the team members didn't trust Xia Xiaolan's ability, they didn't bully her alone.
"Have you finished reading "Structural Elements"?"
At the last moment when the big devil's footsteps reached the door, Xia Xiaolan received Daisy's care.
Xia Xiaolan patted the thick notebook, "I'm really working hard on it, believe me, it's the hardest time I've ever worked in my lifeProfessor McCarthy's class, I must get an A!"
Xia Xiaolan's rhetoric made the pimples on Daisy's face shrink.
"If this were the Southern California Film School, I'm sure you could take whatever you wanted"
But here is the Cornell Architecture major!
It is a construction engineering course controlled by the big devil Professor McCarthy!
It's a pity that Xia has such a beautiful face. Daisy has never seen such delicate and three-dimensional facial features among Asian girls. It's different, Xia has a delicate and beautiful face, and a hot figure This poor Huaguo girl, she came to the wrong place, why did she fall into the clutches of Professor McCarthy.
Daisy suspects that in the eyes of Professor McCarthy, there is no gender distinction at all, let alone beauty and ugliness!
A pair of feet stepped into the classroom, and Daisy quickly retracted her neck.
Professor McCarthy is here!
The great devil came back to the world, and the devastated students were trembling.
Xia Xiaolan heard Richard encourage herself with a very small voice:
"Pass! Pass! This time I will definitely pass!"
Xia Xiaolan couldn't help but glance at the "homework" created by the three of Richard. To be honest, she felt that it was not much different from the model that was dropped last time. Xia Xiaolan's suggestion was not accepted, so she was in charge of this homework. Let's do it.
Can you pass?
The big devil's eyes swept across the classroom. He usually doesn't call names. It is said that no one dares to skip McCarthy's class. Although McCarthy may not be able to remember the name, he obviously has his own way of identification.
"Let's check the homework first! Chuck, would you like to bring your team's model to the stage?"
Richard, whose name was forcibly changed, carried the model to the stage together with Lyle, another boy in the group, and Xia Xiaolan and Daisy also went up.
McCarthy asked them to present the assignment themselves.
"Do you think this structure is stable enough?"
Richard's eyes fluttered: "Yes."
"Shear wall"
"Building Plane Stiffness."
"Earthquake calculation?"
McCarthy threw one question after another, and Richard was sweating.
Fat Lyall's flesh was shaking.
Daisy's face turned red, as if even pimples were about to explode.
Bite the bullet and answer the question, McCarthy snorted coldly: "I don't want to see unqualified homework again. If your group fails to pass next time, you won't even get a C this semester!"
What? !
Xia Xiaolan, who didn't say anything, and whose opinion was not accepted, was lying on the ground.
In the first semester of her exchange at Cornell University, she couldn't even get a c in the required courses. The Department of Architecture of Huaqing and Mao Kangshan probably wanted to drag her back for a beating, which was too shameful.
But McCarthy didn't give Xia Xiaolan a chance to choose at all, so he gave her to this study group that screwed up twice. What can Xia Xiaolan say?
A third chance is the last chance.
Richard also knows that the trio screwed up, that the group performed poorly and angered the Big Boss.
The big devil took turns to check the homework. The group that failed last time passed more than half of it this time, leaving only one other group with the same treatment as Xia Xiaolan's group.
Ning Xue looked over with sympathy in her eyes.
This high-pressure environment is completely different from that in China.
In Huaguo, it is difficult to pass the university entrance exam. As long as you pass the exam, you will be very easy. As long as you are not expelled and have no major violations of discipline, you will always get a job when you graduate.
It's nothing more than the fact that the benefits of the units you go to are good or bad, and most of them have similar starting salaries when they graduate.
After graduating from Huaqing, it is not necessary to go to a poor unit.
?But in the United States, it is very difficult to apply for university without paying tuition fees, and the entrance is wide and the exit is strict. The most difficult thing is graduation, and the most difficult thing is to graduate with all A'sIndustry The elite can call the wind and rain, and the mediocre are destined to be reduced to stepping stones. I also graduated from Cornell Architecture, whether I am excellent or not, it will be reflected in the starting salary when I first work!
Ning Xue was thinking, can Xia Xiaolan adapt?
At Huaqing University, Xia Xiaolan seems to have enough energy. She is usually in school, and she has to go to other places to run her business on weekends.
Arriving at Cornell University, Xia Xiaolan can only study hard honestly, unless Xia Xiaolan wants to become a member of the "Mediocre".
"No, Xia Xiaolan is not the kind of person who is willing to be mediocre."
As soon as this idea came to Ning Xue's mind, Professor McCarthy asked Xia Xiaolan to answer the question again.
Xia Xiaolan patted her notebook.
Anyone who wants to see the jokes of the newcomers this time is doomed to be disappointed. She has a week to intensively read "Structural Elements". Ning Xue was right. Xia Xiaolan had been forced by Professor McCarthy to temporarily give up the idea of ??making money in the United States. There were 1.27 million US dollars lying quietly in her account. According to Xia Xiaolan's personality, she wanted to use money to make money. The multi-million turned into 2 million, 3 millionbut she didn't have time, she read the book for a whole week!
This at least gave Xia Xiaolan more confidence when she answered Professor McCarthy's question.
Although she didn't know whether her answer was completely correct, Xia Xiaolan's words were unambiguous.
When she was still stumped by Professor McCarthy again, Xia Xiaolan thought for a while, but she was not completely unable to answer, not completely correct, at least it was close to the correct answer.
Xia Xiaolan has improved so fast!
Sure enough, he is talented, so he didn't devote himself wholeheartedly to his studies before, right?
Ning Xue secretly sighed.
The members of Xia Xiaolan's team were astonished.
Is this the rookie Xia who was forced to dig into the ground last week by the big devil's question?
When the get out of class was over, as soon as Professor McCarthy left, Daisy came up to him:
"How did you do it?"
Xia Xiaolan rubbed her eyes: "Sleeping no more than 5 hours a day for a week, that's all. I think I might die suddenly before I get an A!"
Or, will she become short-sighted?
After all, the amount of eyesight is too much.
The chubby Lyle pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "You must have a special learning method, you can ask other students, everyone's sleep is compressed to 4-5 hours, but most of them are not learned by you." so fast!"
"So why don't you trust me? I may not be weak, I just didn't adapt to Professor McCarthy's rhythm before!"
Xia Xiaolan was also anxious.
If she doesn't get involved, will she just watch the whole study group get hanged by Professor McCarthy?
Daisy reasoned about Richard's arm:
"Or, we trust Xia once?"
Richard tousled his hair: "But she hadn't even touched¡ª"
Xia Xiaolan's expression was calm, "I haven't watched "Structural Elements" before." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
