Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

"The Agricultural Revolution directly brought about the first explosion of human civilization. With the development of agriculture, human beings independently gave birth to seven major civilizations around the world starting from 3000-3500 BC. After thousands of years of development,

..."

"The earliest origin of modern human civilization was the Mesopotamian Plain in the Middle East. Near today's Iraq, the Sumerians may have been the first nation to have a written language..."

"Yawn~"

Sitting in the small classroom, Carter numbly listened to the "Mediterranean" talk on the podium. There was no disturbance in his heart, and he even felt a little sleepy.

The only effect of taking this course is probably that the greasy "Mediterranean" on the podium proves that this is a normal world. It is not a buttery world with sexy female teachers or extremely open female classmates.

Even if American history textbooks tell history based on a macro timeline and the development and evolution of civilization, Carter feels that it is somewhat new. But the content is still that content?

Apart from the difference in perspective, how in-depth can you expect a high school history to be? The content is similar to the world history I learned in China in my previous life. It’s just that because of the historical origins of the United States, the history textbooks here will describe more European history.

A few, that's all.

The summary is that it is slightly new, but still unremarkable!

The textbook is boring, what about the female classmates? Carter looked around and excluding the little black girls who accounted for almost half, the remaining white female classmates...

Carter might be a little interested if they didn't have those dense freckles. But the Angsa people... nine and a half out of ten Angsa people have freckles...

What else are you looking at? If there’s anything good to see, let’s just dream!

Throwing away the textbook, folding his arms, and burying his head, Carter decisively chose to look for "true love" in his dreams. Thinking that it was now 1979, 12 years later the Soviet Union would disintegrate, and he specialized in sheltering homeless Slavic girls.

..

They are also white people. Look at Slavs, they generally don’t have freckles! In a dozen years, after China’s economy takes off, Internet beauties will also appear. By then... forget it, I won’t even know how old I will be then.

Already...

"Pa~"

Just when Carter was daydreaming about various young ladies and little sisters, he suddenly received a blow on his head. He raised his head in confusion, and Carter only saw the "Mediterranean Sea" in front of him, and the people covering their mouths behind the "Mediterranean Sea"

The snickering classmates.

"Carter! Did you not sleep well last night? Do you need to sleep during class time?"

"Of course you can't sleep on a woman's belly!"

"Oh, Carter, tell us, is it expensive where you go?"

"Mediterranean" glared angrily. Apparently, the blow to Carter's head just now came from him. He turned around and scolded the students who were teasing and hooting, and with an angry look, Mediterranean pointed his gun at Carter again:

"Answer this question: In China, the fifth civilization, in the Xia Dynasty in 2070 BC, who was the king who successfully organized the flood control project?"

Although the Mediterranean language is weird, even a Chinese primary school student will know this question. Dayu controlled the floods, Dayu controlled the floods, it must be Yu!

"yu!"

Carter rolled his eyelids, turned his head, and prepared to go back to sleep. In public schools, we are already in high school, how can any teacher care about sleeping in class? Besides, the question has been answered by itself, and it’s time to let yourself sleep for a while...

.

But just as Carter's head was turning halfway, he was hit again on the head. At the same time, the roar of the Mediterranean sounded in his ears:

"Wrong! It's Wu! I asked you to preview your homework yesterday. It doesn't matter if you don't preview it well. You actually fell asleep in class today. Taylor, please bring my board!"

Meow meow meow??

Dayu controlled the floods. Tell me, it was not Yu who controlled the floods, but Wu. Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wenwu, and there was no Wu among the six emperors in ancient times. While he was surprised that Yu could make mistakes in controlling the floods, Carter suddenly caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye.

The figure of the girl named Taylor, especially the wooden board in her hand, is about an arm's length and about one centimeter thick.

What is this for?

"Turn around and lie down on the table!"

Okay, now I understand! It’s not enough to hit yourself on the head with a book, but you also have to hit yourself with a board?

"Teacher, are you corporal punishment? It's illegal!"

"Who told you it was illegal?"

Yes, who told me that corporal punishment of students is illegal in the United States? It seems to be public knowledge on the Internet in the future?

Carter was a little confused. Not to mention that he didn’t understand the present, he didn’t know much about the specific laws of the United States in the future. Ordinary college entrepreneurs would never have the opportunity to go abroad. Therefore, Carter didn’t know at all, not only

Now, even in the future, it will still be legal for teachers to physically punish students in Georgia schools.

As of 2011, after New Mexico passed a law prohibiting teachers from corporally punishing students, a total of 31 states in the United States and Washington, DC, have passed legislation prohibiting corporal punishment, but corporal punishment is still legal in 19 states. Unfortunately, Georgia is here.

List...

Getting slapped is a small thing, but being embarrassed is a big deal! Not to mention being spanked in public. Not to mention that Carter is a 22-year-old adult at this time. Even a real 16-year-old boy has to save face.

So cool!

In order to avoid being embarrassed, Carter quickly shouted:

"Wait! Who told you that it was wrong? The person who controlled the floods in the Xia Dynasty was obviously Yu. He was also the first emperor of the Xia Dynasty. Because of his merits in controlling the floods, the throne of Shun Chan was given to Yu. The feudal system was passed down from father to son.

, it started from him!”

If Carter's speech was expressed in Chinese, it would be just this short. If it were expressed in English, the word "abcession" alone would be a long phrase of "non-hereditary imperial session". Complete this paragraph completely.

The words made Carter very tired, and the Mediterranean Sea was also very shaken...

Although I didn't understand what Carter was saying for a while, being able to say so many words in one breath sounded a bit unclear. Mediterranean put down the board on his right hand suspiciously, raised the textbook on his left hand, and looked through it carefully.

stand up.

"whose legendary monarch wu organized flood control projects that..."

Okay, I’m sure, this guy is talking nonsense! It’s written in the textbook that he is King Wu, not King Yu!

Feeling that he had been cheated, Mediterranean became more and more irritable. He dropped the textbook on his left hand and raised the board on his right hand again to give Carter some color. See see...

While flipping through the books in the Mediterranean, Carter was not idle either. After glancing at the textbook on the table urgently, he was also dumbfounded. Damn it, the textbook was printed wrong, what's going on?!

Douglas is a small place. It doesn't have a Chinatown like Los Angeles or New York. You can find an "authentic" Chinese person to prove that you are right. As for the Internet... Google, which is a search engine, was only established in 1998...

Then wouldn’t it be difficult for me to defend myself now?

Seeing that the board was about to fall, Carter shouted again:

Please bean sack... No!

"Wait a minute! I want to see Mrs. Mary! Does corporal punishment by teachers also require the consent of the principal?"

ps: This chapter is considered a complaint chapter. I will complain about Lao Mei in the description of daily life. The content of the textbook mentioned in the chapter comes from "ways of the world with sources for ap". The author is robert strayer. This textbook was published 13 years later.

Yes, American history textbooks from 13 years ago rarely mentioned China. There were also histories such as the "Open Door Policy" and the "Eight-Nation Alliance" that were very painful and shameful for us.

In addition, I would like to ask all readers, how do you feel about this kind of description that intersects the description of daily life with the main content? Do you think it is too wordy, or do you not find the theme?
