Super Doctor of the Universe

On the morning of July 28, the courier rode a tricycle through the streets and alleys, with the back compartment filled with various packages.

The United States Postal Service is one of the few official "state-owned enterprises". While employees have high benefits, they don't have to worry about unemployment. As long as they are laid off, they will have the support of the union, which makes employees lazy and delivery speed is very slow. amazing.

If it weren't for this, other companies wouldn't have grown up smoothly. The staid SSAT organizing committee members, probably to save money, still use the U.S. Postal Service to send transcripts.

The report card was finally delivered to her home today. After receiving it, Lisa called Link down and said, "Take it apart and see how it goes. It doesn't matter even if you fail in the test."

Link took the envelope and tore open the outer paper bag at will. There was only a thin page of transcript inside, which was folded in the middle.

Link lowered his head and looked at the printed content, and said: "The total score is 2389, and the proportion of each subject is more than 99%. This kind of score is almost stable, and it will not be a problem to get a scholarship at Lola High School."

The SSAT total score is not just about the score, the key is the SSAT percentage.

The SSAT percentage is used to indicate the position of a student's performance compared with all candidates of the same grade and gender in the past three years. It ranges from 1% to 99%. The higher the score, the better. Students are excellent, and American school admissions officers attach great importance to this.

The total SSAT score was only 2,400 points, and he only lost 11 points. With this kind of score, even the top private schools in the United States would compete for him.

He had estimated that the score should be good before, but Link didn't expect it to be so high. After all, there were essay questions, and he was not as good at this as science subjects.

After hearing this, Lisa couldn't help but said excitedly: "Thank God, you are such a good kid, I am so proud of you!"

After getting the good news, Lisa immediately called Robert who was still at work, and then waited until they came back from dinner. After discussion, the family decided to hold a barbecue party to celebrate.

Statistics show that Americans eat an average of twenty-five pounds of beef a year, and Texans obviously love beef more, so they only need a few months to eat so much, especially those who like barbecue and beer.

It can even be said that the three things Texans are most interested in are God, football and barbecue, in no particular order.

Of course, Robert didn’t invite too many people. He just invited a few neighbors and best friends to clear the place in his backyard, prepare the oven and beef, and then these guests would also bring some of their own dishes. Peggy’s parents Barry and Linda also came to the barbecue.

Barry is tall and thin. He is a dentist and earns a very good income.

There is a very strange phenomenon in the United States, that is, fat people are generally poor, while people in the white-collar class or even the wealthy class rarely have fat people, and they all maintain a good figure.

In fact, the truth and reason are very simple. Rich people can spend money on fitness to stay in shape, but of course poor people don’t have the money to keep in shape.

Moreover, rich people can buy expensive organic food to eat, while poor people can only eat cheap inorganic food or junk food. Of course, they cannot compare with rich people or even white-collar workers.

Barry casually said to Link: "So Link, before I knew your results, I had heard that you were very smart, and I didn't really believe it before..."

"I do have some talents, but compared to Peggy, I really can't be called smart." Link said: "You know, Peggy is the kind of real genius. I can't help but envy her."

"No matter what, being able to achieve such results shows that you are a genius." Link behaved maturely and appropriately, which made Barry always have a good impression of him.

"Link is right. Even if he is smarter than ordinary people, in my opinion, the difference is not big." At this moment, Peggy next to her interjected, and her mother Linda immediately Said: "Peggy!"

Seeing this, Peggy could only glare at Link, and Linda said to Link: "No matter what, Link, we will regard you as Peggy's brother. You know, Peggy is very special, and Very few people want to be friends with her, but since she met you, she is obviously much happier.”

"You're welcome. In fact, I also like getting along with Peggy. After all, my future ambition is to become a scientist. It would be great to have someone with whom I can communicate. I also learned a lot from her."

Peggy's mother was a little more enthusiastic towards Link. After all, Peggy had almost no friends her own age because of her high IQ.

After all, when you are with someone and you feel that you are worthless, it is difficult for you to have a good impression of someone. Even Peggy's sister has a very average relationship with Peggy.

Linda also spent a lot of energy to prevent Peggy from becoming the kind of child who lacks emotional intelligence.

But even so, the crushing brought by high IQ makes Peggy feel somewhat stupid and self-centered when facing other people, but Peggy is not as exaggerated as Sheldon. , coupled with her increasing emotional intelligence, Peggy has begun to learn to hide these.

After chatting with Peggy's family for a while, Link went over to Robert's place. He was wearing beach shorts and a black T-shirt, the standard casual look of most American family men.

Most Americans dress casually, even the rich will dress like this when going out.

So Americans are always laughed at by Europeans, saying that Americans dress rustically like country bumpkins.

Americans don't take it to heart, they dress as they feel comfortable, and don't care about other people's eyes and opinions at all.

Of course, this only refers to leisure time. When working or attending important dinners and parties, Americans still dress formally.

"Oh, our genius is here!" Robert saw Link coming, so he pulled Link and a few colleagues to chat, and said:

"William King's son was admitted to California University of the Arts and he was very proud. So what, it's just an art school in California.

Those artists can only doodle or indulge in drugs, but my Elizabeth is ready to go to the Department of Biology at the University of Chicago, and will become a doctor in the future, and Link will also become a scientist in the future..."

In terms of chatting and bragging, and comparing their own children, both sides of the Pacific actually have some similarities.

The next thing was simple. Everyone ate barbecue and drank beer. Parents and children, husbands and wives gathered in their own small circles.

Robert and a group of middle-aged men held beer and ate barbecue while being unrestrained, while the wives gathered together to gossip, such as which wife in the community had an affair, and which husband had a mistress outside.

In short, these housewives who were busy with housework on weekdays basically talked about these gossips and scandals. It was a bit boring, but they enjoyed it.

The children were playing around and playing with each other. Link also noticed that Peggy chatted with a few girls aged 11 or 12 for a long time. It seemed that they were gradually getting used to it. Overall, it was a very happy night.
