分章摘要 · 12 章
Ch.1 Squanto and Pocahontas：十一月的一天放学时，全校学生被叫到多功能厅集合。校长Mr. Klutz和图书管理员Mrs. Roopy扮成印第安人Squanto和Pocahontas跳上舞台，说要庆祝感恩节。他们走到幕布后面，要给大家介绍一位特别的朋友。
Ch.2 Turkeys Are Weird：那位朋友竟是一只穿着清教徒装的活火鸡Gobbles。Mr. Klutz承诺只要每个班做出漂亮的感恩节展板，他就和火鸡结婚。结果Gobbles受惊挣脱，全场大乱，还撞倒了刚进门的教育委员会主席Dr. Carbles，Mr. Klutz当场被解雇。
Ch.3 Meet the New Boss：第二天全校师生都为Mr. Klutz被解雇而伤心，大家回忆他倒挂在旗杆、雪橇和天花板上的糗事，并猜测新校长是谁。放学时学区总督学Mrs. Haney上台宣布新校长人选，走出来的居然是Dr. Carbles本人。
Ch.4 Dr. Carbles Is a Meanie：Dr. Carbles穿着军装、带着扩音器和鞭子上任，宣布学校要抓四个R：阅读、写作、算术和规矩，取消课间休息和游戏，还要求学生穿统一校服。放学后他带着全校学生在操场上一圈圈地列队行军。
Ch.5 Being Frank：A.J.被叫到校长室，发现办公室里全是鱼相关的东西。Dr. Carbles反复说"Let me be Frank"，A.J.却以为他改名叫Frank，一直喊他Frank。Dr. Carbles其实是想打听孩子们为什么爱Mr. Klutz，最后被A.J.绕得恼火，把他赶了出去。
Ch.6 Dr. Carbles Is Watching You：班上继续做感恩节展板，同学们学到第一个感恩节在1621年、持续了三天。餐厅里换上了"禁止说话"的标语和监控摄像头。孩子们担心失业的Mr. Klutz会抑郁，决定去他家探望，Andrea答应通过当PTA副主席的妈妈打听地址。
Ch.7 The Truth About Dr. Carbles：周六孩子们到Mr. Klutz家，发现他客厅里造了半管滑板道，正开心地练滑板，梦想成为滑板冠军，根本没有抑郁。他透露Dr. Carbles名叫Milton，是他少年时的滑板对手，因为被他起外号"Walrus Face"又嫉妒他有头发而记恨至今，还说Dr. Carbles戴假发。临走时Klutz太太请孩子们务必让丈夫回学校上班。
Ch.8 Far-out, Man!：雨天里Dr. Carbles照样逼学生行军。交通协管员Mr. Louie建议孩子们像六十年代那样抗议，教他们做标语、喊口号、唱抗议歌曲。第二天抗议队伍越来越大，连老师都加入了，结果Dr. Carbles开着一辆坦克冲出来要镇压"叛乱"。
Ch.9 How to Drive Grown-ups Crazy：抗议失败后，孩子们决定像对付Ms. Todd那样把Dr. Carbles逼疯。Neil提议偷他的假发，A.J.想出用校长办公室的钓鱼竿从二楼窗户"钓假发"的主意。可假发粘得太牢钓不下来，Dr. Carbles抬头发现了他们，命令A.J.立刻到办公室去。
Ch.10 The Torture Room：Dr. Carbles拉上窗帘、用台灯照着A.J.审问是谁泄露了假发的秘密，还怀疑老师们在合谋对付他。他的"酷刑"是逼A.J.读一本书，A.J.立刻招供是Mr. Klutz说的，包括滑板队和"Walrus Face"外号的事。Dr. Carbles发誓要报复Mr. Klutz。
Ch.11 The Big Skate-off：Dr. Carbles在体育馆造了半管滑板道，向Mr. Klutz发起滑板对决。两人各显绝技，最后在空中相撞，Dr. Carbles的假发都飞了出去。恰好总督学Mrs. Haney走进来，怒斥他不务正业，当场解雇了Dr. Carbles。
Ch.12 You Can Rent Anything：感恩节前一天，Mr. Klutz扮成清教徒滑滑板到校并摔进灌木丛，大家欢呼他复职了。他说不能娶火鸡Gobbles了（明天要吃掉她），改娶一头租来的猪，由扮成治安法官的Mrs. Roopy主持婚礼并亲了猪。最后全班说出自己的感恩之事，A.J.感谢有四天不用上学。

第 2 关 Vocabulary & Language Points 词汇与语言点 · 5 题
25
Dr. Carbles keeps saying 'Let me be Frank.' What does that idiom really mean, and how does A.J. misunderstand it?Dr. Carbles反复说"Let me be Frank"，这个说法本意是什么？A.J.是怎么误解的？
Ans: 'To be frank' means to be honest and speak directly. A.J. thinks 'Frank' is a name, so he calls Dr. Carbles 'Frank' — a pun on the word and the name.be frank意为"坦白说、说实话"。A.J.把frank当成人名Frank，就一直叫他"Frank"，这是同形词造成的双关笑点。
26
A.J. mixes up 'incompetent' with 'incontinent.' What does each word mean?A.J.把incompetent听成了incontinent，这两个词分别是什么意思？
Ans: 'Incompetent' means not able to do a job well. 'Incontinent' means unable to control one's bladder — which is why A.J. asks if Mr. Klutz wears diapers.incompetent意为"不称职、能力不足"；incontinent意为"大小便失禁"。因为发音相近，A.J.才会问"他穿尿布吗"。
27
What does the title expression 'losing his marbles' mean, and how is it used as a pun in the book?书名里的"losing his marbles"是什么意思？书中是怎么玩这个双关的？
Ans: 'To lose your marbles' means to go crazy. A.J. says 'Dr. Carbles is losing his marbles!' and puts it on his protest sign because 'Carbles' rhymes with 'marbles.'lose one's marbles意为"发疯、失去理智"。因为Carbles和marbles押韵，A.J.就喊"Carbles is losing his marbles"，还写在抗议标语上。
28
Andrea says it will be hard to 'fill Mr. Klutz's shoes.' What does that expression mean, and how does A.J. take it?Andrea说很难"fill Mr. Klutz's shoes"，这是什么意思？A.J.怎么理解的？
Ans: It means it will be hard to replace him or do the job as well as he did. A.J. takes it literally and asks what they would fill his shoes with.意思是"接替某人、达到他的水平"很难。A.J.按字面理解，问"那要往他鞋里塞什么呢"。
29
Explain A.J.'s joke about the 'No Bell Prize' and Michael's 'solitary confinement' mix-up.解释A.J.说的"No Bell Prize"和"solitary confinement"这两个误听笑点。
Ans: 'Nobel Prize' sounds like 'no bell,' so A.J. thinks it is a prize for people who have no bells. 'Solitary confinement' (being locked up alone) sounds like the card game 'solitaire,' so A.J. thinks kids are forced to play solitaire.Nobel（诺贝尔）听起来像no bell（没有铃铛），A.J.以为那是发给"没有铃铛的人"的奖。solitary confinement（单独禁闭）听起来像纸牌游戏solitaire（接龙），A.J.以为是罚孩子玩纸牌。

Ans: hint: Connect it to your own life — a joke can feel funny to one person and painful to another. Talk about apologizing, telling someone how you feel, and forgiving.提示：联系自己的生活——同一个玩笑，说的人觉得好玩，听的人可能很难受。可以谈道歉、表达感受和原谅。
