A篇

You may feel that math is difficult and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? Li Xing, a math professor at Ningxia University, thinks math can be beautiful and fun. I completely agree with what he said.

Numbers are beautiful

There is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure the length from your head to your belly button and from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings.

In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “My skiff has left ten thousand mountains far away”, “A thousand miles in one day” — all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt.

Curves (曲线) are beautiful

“Sine curves” are beautiful. They go towards the two opposite directions on and on without ever ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly moving. “Tangent curve” is like a waterfall, just as Li Bai wrote, “dashing down three thousand feet from on high.”

Formulas (公式) are beautiful

There are some amazing formulas. In a right-angled triangle (直角三角形), the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. How amazing! Just as Chinese-American mathematician Shiing-Shen Chern said “fun!”

B篇

What’s your dream job? How much do you know about it? A group of students from Tianjin found a problem among young teenagers: Most of them have few ideas about their career (职业) plans.

To offer teenagers proper career guidance (指导), the students from Tianjin TEDA No. 1 Middle School started a project called “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi”. “Our survey shows that 75 percent of students want to know more about different jobs. Doctors, accountants (会计) and lawyers are the top three,” said Wang Xinran, 16, the project leader.

Based on students’ needs, the team interviewed (采访) 32 experts in different fields and put their interviews online. They shared true stories behind each job, allowing students to learn about the jobs clearly. “We also invited the experts to give speeches in our school in order that students could talk to them face to face,” said Wang.

Team member Lu Jinyan said his most impressive (印象深刻的) interview was with a photographer (摄影师). “I used to think being a photographer was cool. But now I know that they need to deal with lots of problems, such as a sudden change of weather or broken cameras. They also need to communicate (交流) with different people, which is very hard.”

But the project doesn’t mean disappointing students by telling them the truth. “We want to show their good sides rather than the bad sides,” said group member Zhao Yajie. “The project’s name means turning a career into a poem. We believe working is not just about bread and butter. It should be like a poem, full of love and beauty. And we hope our project can let students know that.”
