What is it about maths, anyway? Why is it that a 1 who would rather die than 2 they found reading difficult at school will happily say he is brain-dead when it 3 to numbers?
“I was 4 at maths at school,” they say. “still am. Can’t 5 up to save my life. My little girl takes after6. Thinks take-aways are something to do with fish and chips. Ha-ha!” Oh, how we all laugh.
But how many of us remember it being 7 at the time? How many of us remember the blind panic of the Monday morning maths test when the 8 we could hope for was a miracle(奇跡) to make the numbers we 9 without thinking as answers somehow 10 the questions?
On the face of it, today’s children can 11 be considered happier and more satisfied. They have a daily numeracy lesson 12 to improving their maths skills. But if that sounds like hell to you, you may 13 find that your child surprises you by actually quite 14 it.
One of the 15 is that over the last ten years or so, there has been a 16 in the way maths is taught. And many of those who teach it feel it’s been a 17 for the better. There’s generally much more emphasis now on 18 arithmetic, getting children used to doing calculations without forever having a pen in one hand and a calculator in the other. Often the first question a teacher will ask is: can you do this in your19? And if they can, they do.
The whole approach is more20, the goal to get children understanding numbers, not just putting them through the uninteresting process of learning something by repeating it until they remember it.

A school teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few    16  . Each tomato will be given a name of a person that the child    17  , so the number of tomatoes that a child will put in the plastic bag will depend on the number of people the child hates.
So when the day came, every    18   brought some tomatoes. Some had two; some three while some up to five tomatoes. The teacher then told the children to    19   with them the tomatoes in the plastic    20   wherever they go.
Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the    21   smell let out by the rotten tomatoes. Besides, those having more tomatoes had to carry    22   bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.
The teacher asked: “How did you    23   while carrying the tomatoes with you for 1     24  ?”
The children let out their frustrations and started    25   of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and    26  tomatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the    27  .
“This is exactly the    28   when you carry your hatred(憎恨) for somebody inside your heart. The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your    29   and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten tomatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the smell of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”
So    30   others is that best attitude to take!

科目:高中英語 來源:2012-2013學(xué)年四川南充蓬安中學(xué)高二下期第二次階段性考試英語卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解

Remembering names is an important social skill.Here are some ways to master it.
Recite and repeat in conversation.
When you hear a person’s name,repeat it.Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips.You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
You can let other people help you remember their names.After you’ve been introduced to someone,ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you.Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
Admit you don’t know.
Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed.Most of them will feel sympathy if you say.“I’m working to remember names better.Yours is right on the tip of my tongue.What is it again?”
Use associations.
Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual.For example,you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair.” To reinforce (加強) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
Go early.
Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic review for you.
【小題1】How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?

A.They will be moved.B.They will be annoyed.
C.They will be delighted.D.They will be discouraged.
【小題2】 If you can't remember someone's name, you may __
A.tell him the truthB.tell him a white lie
C.a(chǎn)sk him for pityD.a(chǎn)sk others to help you
【小題3】When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __
A.a(chǎn)ll their namesB.a(chǎn) couple of names first
C.just their last namesD.a(chǎn)s many names as possible
【小題4】What does the text mainly tell us?
A.Tips on an important social skill.B.Importance of attending parties.
C.How to make use of associations.D.How to recite and repeat names.
