The Goddess Shines on America

Time, late August.

Location: Twenty miles away from the city of London, in the small town of Windsor, on the banks of the Thames, on the other side of Windsor, Eton College.

A gray-haired but well-dressed old man was sitting behind a mahogany desk, wearing a gold-framed glasses, with a thoughtful smile on his mouth, reading a copy of ********.

This is the first time Williams has been so caring about a single girl since Eton College began enrolling female students last year.

King Alice, this Chinese-American girl, from the perspective of her national identity, can be said to have no match with the style of Eton College. In fact, throughout the history of Eaton College, the style mismatch has occurred at least twice, and every Eaton person is well aware of its process.

Eton College is an ancient institution founded by Henry VI in 1440. It is well-known in the world as the cradle of elites and gentleman culture. It is also known for its strict militarized management. Most of its students have excellent grades and are recognized as the best middle school in the UK. It is also a training place for the British royal family, political and economic elites.

This school is called a public school, but it is actually a private middle school. The original intention of Henry VI naming it as a public school was to provide free education to poor students, so that poor children can also enter the school, and then serve as a preparatory school for King's College at Cambridge University. It can be said that this is the original Eaton and the purest Eaton.

However, just two hundred years later, in the seventeenth century, Eton College gradually became the most famous aristocratic school in Britain. Because the children of the nobles are proud of being able to enter this school, they rushed to enroll, forming a noble atmosphere, but the children of the common people were beyond expectation, causing the school to gradually become a school with strict hierarchy and open to the children of the nobles.

This can be said to be the first change, and it is also a change in line with the historical process. Every Eaton person takes a calm attitude towards the behavior of the early ancestors who abandon the founder's purpose. Because, and precisely because of this calm attitude, when the pace of development of the times becomes more and more rapid, Eaton also takes advantage of the trend to make the most appropriate changes, so that he will not get lost in the trend of the times.

Eaton used to be a noble school, and the children of the family had to register after they were born. But now, especially after the end of World War II, there are very few nobles left in the school, and the so-called "nobles" has actually become a synonym for "expensive people." If it is said that in the past, the nobility’s enrollment relied on the noble’s own advantages, and the common people could not see it. However, in the country, but the world’s economy is booming, the tuition fee of 20,000 pounds per year is really not considered what.

Although the world often regards the British aristocracy as a model of stubbornness and stubborn adherence to tradition, in fact, in many ways, they have been quietly conforming to the times invisibly. It is like the existence of the royal family, from Magna Carta to constitutional monarchy, although in the eyes of a purely democratic country, this may still be a representative of backwardness and adherence to tradition. But since it can stand in the world as a powerful country, it will naturally not make mediocre people think.

Therefore, when time moved towards the 1980s, the third round of changes in Eton College took advantage of the trend.

"Alice..."

Just as Williams murmured the name, there was a knock on the door, and he raised his head and lowered his glasses: "Please come in."

The door of the principal's room opened, and a man with blond hair and black eyes walked into the room.

In fact, it is a man, which is somewhat suspicious, because although he has a Adam's apple, his facial contours are too smooth and rounded, and his figure is not very strong, but has a softness that tends to be feminine.

Entering the room, he politely said: "Principal, you are looking for me."

Williams smiled slightly, and handed Alice's ******** to the man: "Evan, look at this kid's file."

Yiwen didn't doubt that he had him, so he took it directly.

"King Alice."

He raised his eyebrows slightly.

The girl who will be fifteen years old at the beginning of next year is just the age when she started high school. Although she has only been coaching for three years, Ivandlov has already seen too many pornography. As for what kind of files a student who will be going to high school should have, he has already learned by analogy and recitations.

For example, if you were a journalist for the school newspaper in junior high school, or performed well in debates, some parents would also make the first deeds of the sports event. Of course, the most frequent performances of club activities, non-punitive community volunteers, and some 13- to 14-year-olds can do part-time jobs, such as mowing the lawn for neighbors.

But King Alice didn't write these things at all.

In fact, the content she wrote is very concise. Compared with what many parents teach their children, the chapter describing her own deeds is more wonderful. Her sentences are simply declarative sentences.

For example, the first one.

"On December 12, 1980, I promoted Apple's stock to my family, bought original shares worth US$50,000, and closed the day and made a profit of US$350,000."

Take another example.

"On May 10, 1984, successfully developed the Internet hardware product router."

Then followed by the registration date of Cisco Systems, and then the fourth article about writing a novel called "Jurassic Park."

Of course, the compilation of Windows 1.0 does not unexpectedly appear at the bottom of the list.

From the objective perspective of the documentary, with the expression of declarative sentences, and the refined terms as defined by the sea of ​​words, the long list is dense and dense at a glance.

Evan was silent, and then spoke: "It turns out that this lady is coming to our school to study, but it is reasonable. A genius like her will not let Eton College go to study."

After that, he respectfully put the file back to his desk: "Then Mr. Principal, what is your purpose of looking for me?"

"This kid chose your virology as an elective course."

Williams said gently: "I'm not sure, what will be the consequences of letting a girl like her enter the field of scientific research, and it is still a virus, such a very sensitive subject. Ivan, I know how high your virological attainments are. , So I want to ask you something...this girl, what might she be thinking?"

Ivandlov smiled slightly: "You really broke me, the principal, I don't know Miss Wang, and I am not a psychologist myself. How can I guess her heart by relying on a file?"

"This girl... is actually quite interesting."

Obviously, he really thought of something interesting, Williams shook his head and smiled: "Ivy...my former lover, she recommended her little granddaughter Ashley to school at Eaton, but I'm not surprised at all. But what I did not expect is that this Alice actually has some relationship with Ivy. Not only did she put herself on her recommended list, but she even brought two other little girls. You said it was fun or not?"

"That's naturally very interesting."

Ivan replied indifferently, but turned to be puzzled: "The other two little girls, and this Ashley, Mr. Principal, won't they all choose my virology as an elective course, right? "

"Hahaha, that's not the case."

Williams waved his hand and said: "That is, Alice and Ashley are just two people, but Yiwen, I have noticed that among the 250 freshmen this year, virology is selected as an elective, but they are the only two. You, I’m afraid I’ve been busy these past few years."

So, finally fulfilling Williams' expectations, Ivan frowned dissatisfied.

But no way, this is the teaching system of Eton College.

At Eaton, there has never been a one-size-fits-all "speed and slow shift". Eaton has classes, but it is not based on general grades, but divides each subject into different classes, and each class does not exceed 20 students. A student may be assigned to class C, which requires more tutoring, but French class can be enrolled in class A. It is Eaton’s tenet to equip different teachers and teaching methods according to the characteristics of each person, so that they can be excellent in all aspects.

Then, like many high schools and universities, there are elective courses. It's just that Eaton is one of the top middle schools in the world, and its elective courses will naturally not be ordinary content, such as choosing one of Spanish, French and German, the kind of content that is almost lousy.

Virology is an elective subject taught by Ivandlov, and even in Eaton, a school that has always insisted on teaching in small classes, the total number of students has never exceeded ten. You know, the entire school is 12 to 18 years old, and there are 250 people in each grade!

Of course ~www.readwn.com~ This may have something to do with him coming to Eaton for only three years. Compared with many predecessors who taught in this century-old school many years ago, he still has little publicity about his subjects. Besides, viruses are indeed unpopular subjects.

The current situation is that there are thousands of students in the school, and there are no more than ten students of their own, and two high school girls who have been admitted to the ninth and tenth grades together, are they going to directly choose his class?

"I disagree!"

Yiwen categorically said: "They probably just looked at the list of courses and thought the course of virus seems to be cool, so they just choose it. Virus research is not the same as ordinary biochemical experiments. Neither of them is mentioned in the archives. I don’t want to be a nanny for girls who have experience in experimentation!"

Williams sighed slightly, and he guessed it would be the result.

"Ivan, I decided not to go so fast. I know the girl Ashley very well. She has very strong hands-on skills. She has long been a fashion designer with small achievements. This Alice is even more of a genius. Even if you want to object, at least See you first too, right?" (To be continued.)
