No matter which country you visit, no matter which grade you are in, you may not learn art, geography, chemistry or Chinese, but you always learn math. Why is this so? How come somany students hate math, and yet cannot avoid learning it in school? Jenny Sanders, a high school student in California, asks, What good do we get from learning math? We can use computers to compute numbers, and we can use computers to store information. I think learning math at school is a waste of time. However, there is much more to math than just learning to add and subtract(减) numbers. In fact, math is not so much about calculation（计算） as it is about learning to think logically（逻辑地）and solving problems. Of course, Jenny was right that we can use computers to do calculations, but how would we even know how to use the computer if we cant think logically? In short, computers are only tools when solving problems. For example, imagine you are a cook and must serve dinner to 100 guests. How should you divide your resources(资源) so that you can get the job done most efficiently (高效地）? In situations like this, the ability to think logically will get you to a reasonable answer and solve your problem.46. What does Jenny Sanders think of learning math? A. Interesting. B. Boring. C. Useless. D. Useful47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. 90% of the students hate learning math. B. Students can learn math well with computers. C. Math can do calculations and store information. D. 9 students dont like math.48. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Math is just learning to add and subtract numbers. B. Math can be good for both our body and our mind. C. Math helps us think logically and solve problems. D. Math can improve your cooking skills.B Homestay is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local (当地的) family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitors language ability, said a teacher during a school meeting last term. Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you wont be disappointed（失望的） After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago. As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family（寄宿家庭） was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too. The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities. The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave home for Hong Kong.49. In the homestay program, a visitor can_.

From the passage, we know that the writer_ in London.A. wished to stay a little longer B. spent three weeks in her homeC. had classes in many interesting places D. helped the teacher take the students in a carC A man came back home from work late, tired, to find his six-year-old son waiting for him at the door. Daddy, how much money do you make an hour? If you want to know, I make $20 an hour. Oh, the little boy replied, with his head down He thought for a moment, looked up and said. Daddy, could you lend me $10? The father was furious, If you asked for money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think why you are being so selfish! The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so, the father calmed down, and started to think, Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didnt ask for money very often. So he went to the little boys room. Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now, said the man. Heres $10. Oh, thank you, Daddy! the boy said gladly. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had some money, he got angry again. Why do you want more money since you already have some? the father shouted angrily. Because I didnt have enough, but now I do, the little boy replied, Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.53. How much does the man make if he works 10 hours? A. $20. B. $50. C. $100. D. $200.54. In this passage, the underlined word furious means _.

A. often played with his son B. spent little time with his son C. didnt love his son at all D. often came back home earlyD Whats the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions (提到 ) hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck. If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按-r母表IYJ顺序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, I for a 2 for b, 3 for c., you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+1 8+4+23+15+1 8+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge:11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96.while love:12+15+22+5=54, and luck:12+2l+3+11=47, a small markNone of these words can give one a full markWhat about money or prayer(祈祷）?They cant, either. Then what else? Dont be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things，or your attitude（态度）Yes，attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+2l+4+5=100, a full mark. Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed ones attitude. When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, youll meet more smiling faces towards you1n the same way. if you take a positive（积极地）attitude towards failure（失败）, youll find its also rewarding though it has caused you losses.57.
