Ask any student which subject he or she hates most, 9 out of 10 students will answer "math". 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 so many 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(減)numbers.① In fact, math is not so much about calculation as it is about learning to think logically and solving problems. ②Of course，Jenny was right that we could use computers to do calculations, but how would we even know how to use the computer if we couldn't 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 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.

1.According to the passage, which subject do students always learn in different grades at school?

A. Chinese. B. Math. C. Geography. D. Art.

2.What does Jenny Sanders think of learning math?

A. Interesting. B. Boring. C. Useless. D. Difficult.

3.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. Math helps students learn all the other subjects well.

4.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 help students find a good job in the future.

You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.

In China, I had English classes five times a week since the fifth grade. ①However, I didn't know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.

When I first studied English, I was told to say "I am fine." when people say "How are you?" But in the US, I found that people say, "I am good." or "I'm tired."

One day, someone greeted me with "What's up?" It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn't know what to say.

Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.

To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or "whiter".

I was also surprised by how hard-working US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that's it. But here, a "good" student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.

The kids here are so talented. ②I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.

1.According to the writer, textbook English is everyday English.

A. quite different from B. the same as

C. more different than D. easier than

2.What does the word "tan" in the sixth paragraph mean in Chinese?

A. 曬黑 B. 曬白 C. 能量 D. 熱量

3.A good US student spends his / her time_______.

A. only in doing homework

B. only on sports or music

C. on studies, sports or music and public work

D. on public work

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. My Own Travel in the US B. My Studying in the US

C. My Opinion About the US D. My Poor English in the US
