You may feel that math is hard and boring.Is it possible that you've been looking at math in
the wrong way?March 14 is International Day of Math.Teenagers interviewed Li Xing,a math
professor()at Ningxia University.We asked if math can be beautiful and fun.Here's what
he said.
Numbers are beautiful
Many people today want to have beautiful looks.But there is math hidden in beautiful human
bodies.Measure(测量)the length(长度)from your head to your belly button(肚脐)and from
your belly button to your feet.The ratio()of these two numbers is always around 0.618.
This is the golden ratio(黄金比例),which can be seen everywhere,like in nature,music and
paintings.
In Chinese poems(诗歌),we can also see the beauty of numbers.As Li Bai wrote,“I've
sailed a thousand miles through Gorges in a day(千里江陵一日还),”“My skiff has left ten
thousand mountains far away(径舟已过万重山).”“A thousand miles in one day”,“ten
thousand mountains"-all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt.
Numbers give us freedom(自由)to imagine.
Formulas(公式)are beautiful
There are many amazing formulas..For example,in a right--angled triangle(直角三角形),
the square(平方)of the longest side is equal to(等于)the sum(f和)of the squares of the other
two sides..How neat(简洁的)!Just as the Chinese--American mathematician(数学家)Shiing-
shen Chern said,“Math is fun!”
()31.How much is the golden ratio?
A.0.618.

A.it has a golden color
-167-

(
)34.Which formula did the underlined sentence describe in the last paragraph?

Have you ever tried riding a bike while singing a song,or walked home while sending a
message to a friend?These are examples of "dual-tasking"-doing two things at the same time.
While it sounds simple,your brain works hard to manage it!
Imagine your brain is like a power station.It supplies energy(提供能量)to different
tasks,just like electricity powers cities.If one task(like solving math problems)uses a lot of
energy,other tasks(like listening to music)might get less power.This is why "dual-tasking"
can feel tricky-your brain does not have enough energy to share!
When you learn a new skill,like playing basketball or baking cookies,it takes a lot of focus
at first.But with practice,your brain gets better at it.Over time,the task becomes easier,
freeing up energy for other things.That's why older students might find it easier to talk while
doing homework-they've practiced both skills!
Why do you sometimes forget to say something before you say it?The answer is that you are
likely to have been "dual-tasking"just before speaking.It might have been because you were
thinking about the words you wanted to say and something else at the same time.Or maybe you
were focusing on listening while trying to think of what to say.
Forgetting things is normal for everyone and can happen when you are doing too many things
at once.When it happens to you,take a deep breath and relax!Perhaps those words will come
back to you later when you clear your head and re-energize.
Remember,"dual-tasking"is a skill.Younger kids might meet difficulties because their
brains are still learning.But as you grow and get experience,your brain becomes a stronger
"power station",ready to deal with more tasks.So next time you forget something,don't stress-
your brain is just balancing its energy!
-169-
(
)41.What does the underlined phrase "power station"mean in the text?
A.A place that offers electricity to cars.B.A supply of energy from the brain.
C.A tool that controls brain.
D.A shopping center in a busy city.
(
)42.What does the underlined word "tricky"mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Easy.
B.Simple.
C.Difficult.
D.Fun.
)43.How does Paragraph 3 support the text?
A.It gives examples of why practice works.
B.It explains more tasks are useless.
C.It tells us the younger students are smarter.
D.It shows the challenges of dual-tasking.
(
)44.What should you do if you forget something while dual-tasking?
A.Get upset and try harder.
B.Take a break and relax.
C.Forget the mistake and continue.
D.Ask someone else for help.
)45.What is the text mainly about?
A.Ways to develop dual-tasking skills.
B.Reasons for avoiding dual-tasking.
C.Bad influence of dual-tasking
D.Dual-tasking and brain improvement.

中有一项为多余选项。
How to Be a Good Listener!
As students,we should listen carefully in class.Listening needs us to pay attention and
think about what we hear.46.
Here are some useful tips for you to follow.
Be prepared for class.Before class starts,we should review our notes from the last class,
and think about how much we know about today's topic.When it's time to go to class,check if we
have taken all the things needed.47.
Listen with a purpose.48.
If you are clear about the problems you wish to solve in
class,you may listen to them carefully as teachers explain.
Pay attention to teachers'body language.Lots of communication is not from talking.The
body language also carries information.49.
When the teacher points to the blackboard
and raises the voice,we should realize that this is the key one.
Take good notes.Taking notes is another good way to pay attention in class.But not
everyone can take a good one.Here are some examples.It is much clearer if we keep our notes
organized by subject.50.
Writing the date at the top of each page is helpful for the
-170-
later review.
In a word,class is the key period for every student.We should make good use of it and try
to become an excellent listener in class
A.It helps you know what's important.
B.But how can we become a good listener?
C.In this way,we will be ready for a lesson.
D.A good listener should think about what you want to learn.
E.The same body language can be read with different meanings.
F.Some students mark the differences with pens of different colors.

realize that the more work I put into Chinese study,the more interesting I found it.

The University of Leeds had more than 600 Chinese students.So it was not difficult to find one.
Soon I met my new Chinese friend,Li Hua.She helped me practice my spoken Chinese and go
over everything I had learned in class.Finally,I made it.
Although there are so many words and idioms(习语)in Chinese,I am confident(自信的)

My English Learning
Nowadays,English is widely used all over the
world.And it's also one of my favorite subjects.
I started learning English when I was ten years
-2
old.But in the very beginning,I found it difficult to
understand every sentence when I was listening.So I
did a lot of listening practice,such as listening to
tapes,watching English TV programs and so on.
These ways improved my English a lot.
In fact,there are some more helpful ways to
learn English well.For example,I enjoy singing
English songs and I want to join an English club or
find a pen pal from English-speaking countries.
As the saying goes,"Nothing is impossible if
you put your heart into it."Stick to your purpose all
the time,and then you will learn it well.
