This man was very good at math. He knew that in order to get shoes that fit him perfectly, it would be necessary to measure his shoe size.So before he went to the market, he carefully measured his feet and drew a very detailed picture of his feet on a piece of paper. He wrote the exact size of each foot on the paper so that he would not buy the wrong size. Then before leaving the house, like a good mathematician, he rechecked his picture.It was a very long way from the mans home to the market where he wanted to buy the shoes. It was afternoon when the man arrived at the market. When he reached a shoe store and was about to get in, the man realized that he had forgotten to bring the paper that he had carefully written on. He turned around and walked all the way back home to get it.It was nearly sunset when the man arrived back at the market. The market was closing. The shoemaker had packed up all of his shoes in bags and was ready to go home. Seeing this, the man stopped the shoemaker quickly and asked him to unpack his bags to sell shoes.“Hey! Ive never seen a bigger bean brain like you,” the shoemaker said, “why didnt you just try on the shoes in my store, but go home and get your paper?”The mans face turned red, hanging his head down. “I thought there was only one way to solve my problem. I should have thought to check with others if they had better solutions that might be as good as mine, or even better than my own.”The above short story works well with school students and also teachers. Don t try to solve a problem with a single point of view: there may be many other ways of solving the same problem.45 .

In the US, mobile phone users were about 340, 000 in 1985. Now there are 205 million mobile phone users in the US. Studies also show that over 50 percent of children in the US own their own personal mobile phones. The mobile phone explosion(激增) has led to a huge number of waste phones. The number of mobile phones users has also increased throughout the world. In the middle of 2005, the number of total users jumped to 2.4 billion worldwide.Mobile phone wasteWhen people throw their mobile phones away, they usually end up in the open air. Mobile phones include some materials like lead, mercury and cadmium. They can go into public drinking water and food and do harm to peoples health. About 75 percent of mobile phone users dont throw their phones away. Instead, they prefer to keep the waste ones sitting around the house as they are not worth very much. People are also afraid that others may know their information if they sell their waste phones. Less than 20 percent of them are recycled each year.Benefits(益处) of recycling mobile phonesMobile phones have valuable materials inside. The most valuable material is gold, which is used in the phone circuit boards. Recycling can reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放物) and keep natural resources like gold. If all of the waste phones in the US are recycled, it will save enough energy to offer over 194, 000 U.S. families electricity(电力) for one year.How mobile phone recycling worksMany people do not know how mobile phone recycling works. One method of recycling mobile phones is to take the working parts of broken phones, then combine(使结合) them with the working parts of other used mobile phones to make one ready-to-use mo
