They are popular with the opposite sex. They are good-looking and people want to   12    their style. They can do their homework but they don’t make a big effort. That would not be cool.
The    13    kids are in the other corner of the playground. They are very bright, but they don’t have great    14   skills, not popular with the opposite sex and they are    15   at sports. When they are not programming puters or doing calculus (微积分) , they are watching shows like the “X Files”. They are known as the geeks.

But there are also    24  . Geeks were often bullied (欺侮) or laughed at in school. Now a geek may be your    25  . Perhaps it is time for punishment.
