“Welcome to a new school year. Im Mr Stevens and Im sure Ill learn all your names in no time.” He walked around the class handing out math books. When it was done， he returned to the front of the class and looked at us. We stared back. “What are you waiting for？ Get started，” he said.

We looked at him and were confused. Wasnt he going to teach us？

“Is there anything wrong with your ears？ Youre not all deaf， are you？”

A brave boy at the back of the class asked what we all wanted to know. “Mr Stevens， arent you going to teach us？”

Mr Stevens said， “Youre smart kids. Open your books and get down to your study. If you have any trouble or any questions， raise your hand， and Ill help you.”

My friend Paul and I exchanged glances and opened our books to the first chapter （章）. A competition began. Paul and I spent all our free time at home working through the lessons. Mr Stevens， keeping his word， helped anyone who was stuck in a problem. We worked hard and finished two and one half math books the first year. It was a turning point in my life. Mr Stevens made me realize I was good at math and also able to reach the top of any class I attended.

Monty Pythons Flying Circus （馬戏团） was a popular television show back then. The actors brought the best British humor into our Canadian lives. Mr Stevens would often act out one of their skits in front of the class. Some thought he was strange， and I guessed he was， but he knew how to make a math lesson interesting.

It is hard to say the first day of school in the United States because when the first day of school is and what happens on the first day of school usually are different by districts （地区）.

The first day of school for many school districts in different states is on the day after the first Monday in September. In some other school districts， school begins in mid-to-late August. For example， the Denver， Colorado schools go back in mid-August and schools in Cleveland， Ohio start back usually one week before the first Monday in September. The Boston， Chicago， New York City and San Diego schools start back on Tuesday or Wednesday after the first Monday in September.

Schools in Cleveland， Ohio used to start the school year on the day after the first Monday in September， but in the 1976—1977 and 1977—1978 academic years， the school year was affected by several bad snowstorms， especially cold. In the 1978—1979 school year， the Ohio Department of Education moved the start of the year to late August， one week before the first Monday in September. This went into effect in the 1980—1981 school year.

In most school districts in Utah， the school year starts between August 25 and August 30， and goes until the last week of May or the first week in June next year.

In American high schools， the freshmen classes usually go back one or two days before the rest of the school bodies for an orientation period. An orientation period helps the freshmen get familiar with their new school， its rules and surroundings.

In some schools， the freshmen classes have their photographs taken for identification （身份证明） purposes. Some high schools have tried to make the first week of school fun for incoming freshmen.

5. According to the text， where does the school year start earliest？

A. Denver. B. Boston. C. New York City. D. Cleveland.
