After noticing this, she started using an abacus(繁盘) to help her son visually (形象化地) understand mathematics. “I would ask him something like 35 minus 13 but he‘couldn’t’ do it,” said Dhruv’ s mom Dr. Mantri. “Idecided to change the way he looked at numbers,” she said. “An abacus is a tried and tested method, and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid.” In just six days he started to make progress in using the abacus and would go on to become an outstanding kid with numbers, with even his classmates' parents reaching out for help. She never thought she would teach her son to use an abacus, which she used as a child in India and it was always helpful. Within six days she started to notice a difference and see results. So dramatic was the change that school staff asked. him to perform with the abacus at a meeting, where some parents even came to ask for advice on using it for their kids. IT specialist Dr. Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations and kids enjoy learning on it because it's like a game. “It becomes a playing tool for younger children, for it feels like a game. I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them,” she added. By the age of 12, Dhruv was giving online cyber security class and is now pursuing a career in data science and analytics. Dhruv has now got an apprenticeship(实习) at an international firm. During the four-year apprenticeship, he will spend one day a week studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Glasgow Caledonian University. “He is so confident now and I am so proud,” Dr. Mantri said, with Dhruv adding, “I don't think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time. 4.

On hot days, her mother used to take her to the mall to cool down.“Now that these heat waves are getting longer, methods used in the past aren't going to work as well,” Rivas added. The California Environment Protection Agency will create a heat wave ranking system to give public warnings. It's supposed to help the public, especially those outdoor workers, know the seriousness of the heat wave and then learn what they should do. The idea is backed up widely: Many health researchers point out the health risks of heat are worse for outdoor workers, saying that in summer, there's an 8% increase in deaths on the hottest days. Lawmakers of California are also considering making indoor cooling a housing right. It can especially help renters like Minerva Contreras, a mother of two living near Bakersfield. Her neighbourhood has seen many days with temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.“It's very difficult because it's like not being able to breathe,” said Contreras. Indoor cooling standards are valued by renters but may face a serious fight, and many house owners think the standards fail to consider the variety of elimates in the state. For now, the cost of keeping cool for renters mostly falls on them, Contreras doesn't hold much hope that California will pass cooling standards, saying,“But I would like it very much.” 8. What can we learn about Californians? A. They are more affected by hot weather. B. They can be more adapted to hot weather. C. They are more concerned about their health. D. They always have a bigger demand for air conditioning. 9. How is the method of cooling down in the mall according to Rivas in paragraph 2? A. It is a marketing strategy. B. It is worthy of a try. C. It has gained popularity. D. It is not as useful as before. 10· Why does the author mention the increase of deaths on hot days? A. To have pity on outdoor workers. B. To prove the necessity of the system. C To tell outdoor workers to work harder. D. To warn people to fight against the heat outside. 11. What does Contreras think of passing indoor cooling standards? A. Amusing. B. Challenging. C. Shocking. D. Puzzling. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 D Primary and secondary school learners, university students, and guests were invited on Wednesday and were treated to a colorful celebration at the Confucius Institute at the University of Nairobi, to mark the beginning of the year of the dragon which officially sturts on Saturday, The place featured beautiful decorations with red and gold colors and lucky symbols.

A recent study has measured, for the first time, the damage that can be caused to animals in urban areas on China's fast-developing road network. 17 . Li Zhongqiu and his team from Nanjing University's School of Life looked at the problem in cities,where roadkill could have an even larger impact. They chose Nanjing as the study subject, where there are more than 9,700 kilometers of paved roads. A total of nine roads were chosen for the research, including three national highways. 18 The researchers then monitored the roads every two weeks over a year. The team recorded a total of 293 individual roadkill cases. Birds.made up nearly half the total, making them the most susceptible(易受影响的) group to roadkill. 19 This may be owing to the large number of stray(流浪的) cats and dogs in urban areas,” Li said.“Abandoned pets are more likely to wander into traffic.” Also, there are a large number of black birds in East China, and they can be afracted by flies or other insects, leading to further accidents. 20 . This may be owing to the fact that some warm-blooded animals have to go out and search for food during these times when food is hard to find.“Roadkill has resulted in the decline of urban animal populations and must be taken seriously,” Li said.
