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. In fact,

math is not so much about calculation (計算) as it is about learning to think logically (邏輯地) 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 can'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.

C. Math can do calculations and store information.

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

Look at the plant in the picture. It looks beautiful, right? Can you imagine (想象) it kills?

The Venus flytrap is a kind of meat-eating plant. It grows in very few places, like wetlands near the sea in North Carolina in America.

The Venus flytrap is not a large plant. It grows to be only about a foot tall. The plant has white flowers in the spring, but it is the plant’s leaves that make it so interesting. The ends of the leaves have folding parts with stiff, tiny hairs (帶小硬刺的可折疊部分). These are the plant’s “traps ”.

What does the Venus flytrap eat? As you might guess, the Venus flytrap eats flies . It also eats spiders, ants and crickets . The Venus flytrap makes most of its food with sun, air and water, just like other plants. Living things just give it extra nutrition to grow well in wetlands.

How does this plant trap and eat living things? The Venus flytrap uses a sweet liquid to attract its food. When a fly lands on one of the plant’s open traps, hairs on the surface make the trap close. And when the trap closes, the fly is dinner!

If you want to have your own Venus flytrap at home, you have to buy the plant from a special place. You can’t take a Venus flytrap from where it grows! There are laws about taking it out of the wild.

1.Where does the Venus flytrap grow?

A. In the wetlands. B. In the desert.

C. In the rocks. D. In the sea.

2.About the Venus flytrap, which of the following is true?

A. It is a large plant.

B. It only eats spiders.

C. It has white flowers.

D. It can fly in the sky.

3.Which is the right order of the following events in Paragraph 5?

A. The trap of the Venus flytrap closes.

B. A fly lands on one of the plant’s open traps.

C. The fly is kept in the trap as the food of the plant.

D. The Venus flytrap uses a sweet liquid to attract its food.

A. d-b-a-c B. a-b-c-d C. b-d-a-c D. d-b-c-a

4.How can people get a Venus flytrap?

A. They can get it from where it grows.

B. They can buy it from a special place.

C. They can grow it in their gardens.

D. They can buy it in a park.

5.Why does the Venus flytrap kill?

A. Because it needs extra nutrition.

B. Because it hates flies.

C. Because insects are its main food.

D. Because it kills for fun.
