I felt excited, curious and nervous at the same time. I was excited because I would be skipping(跳级)two grades. I was curious because I didn't know how high school students were taught. However, I was most nervous at the idea that I would be doing high school homework.
I had just walked into the class when the bell rang. This wasn't a good start. But the kid in front of me looked very friendly. Luckily, since it was the first day of school, my teacher talked for about half of the period and we just had the rest of the period to start the class. I didn't know what he was saying at first, but when I saw the problems on the paper, I knew what to do.
The next day, the kid said hi and I said hi back. We got into a conversation. It seemed that whenever I was talking to my friend, everyone stopped staring at (盯着看)me. Then the class started. It was easy. But I was still unfortable because I couldn't look around without meeting others’eyes, so I just kept my eyes on the whiteboard and on my textbook.
However, my friend didn't show up the next day, and the eighth graders just kept on staring at me. I didn't know why.
The next day everything changed. My friend was back to school. I was praised for my homework. Everyone stared at me less. Some started to be a little friendlier towards me. I felt at home at last here. My teachers also seemed pretty nice.

(答案→)B
解析：作者连跳两级，开始八年级的学习生活，作者既兴奋又紧张，因为他对高中的知识很陌生，结果证明，他很好地融入了新的班级。
【小题1】根据第四段“...and the eighth graders just kept on staring at me”可知，作者不跳两级的话，应该上六年级，故选B。
【小题2】根据“I was curious because I didn't know how high school students were taught.”可知，作者不知道高中生在学什么，故选B。
【小题3】根据第三段“But I was still unfortable because I couldn't look around without meeting others’eyes, so I just kept my eyes on the whiteboard and on my textbook.”可知，作者盯着黑板是为了避开同学们的眼睛。故选D。
【小题4】根据最后一段“My friend was back to school. I was praised for my homework. Everyone stared at me less. Some started to be a little friendlier towards me. I felt at home at last here. My teachers also seemed pretty nice.”可知，同学和老师都对作者很好，作者融入了新的班级。故选A。
