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(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 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 (分)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.
( )4.According to the passage,which subject do students always learn in different grades at school?
A.Chinese. B.Math. C. Geography.
( )5.What does Jenny Sanders think of learning math?
A.Interesting B.Boring. C.Useless.
( )6.What does the underlined word “resources” mean in the passage?
A.科目 B. 资源C.效率
( )7.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.

All my friends at school smoked. My dad smoked; he didn’t want me to smoke but my friends kept saying I was stupid. They asked when I was going to grow up. So I started when I was sixteen and after a month I couldn’t stop. But two years later I could feel what smoking was doing to me. I couldn’t run far, and I coughed ev ery morning. I got very ill and decided to stop. It wasn’t easy, but now I’ve done it, and I feel better. Now I have money for other things.
If you smoke, you are twice as likely to die from a heart attack. And the more you smoke, the earlier the heart attack is likely to be. For example, a 50-year-old who smokes more than 20 cigarettes a day, is four times more likely to have heart disease than a non-smoker of the same age.
What does smoking do to the heart? First of all, it makes the heart beat faster and increases the blood pressure. The cigarette smoke also reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood. Consequently, the heart has to work harder, with less oxygen. Finally, your arteries will narrow faster if you smoke.
So if you want to reduce your chances of getting heart disease, the answer is easy –– not to smoke. Don’t copy your friends and other people who smoke. If you smoke, find out how to stop. Stopping isn’t easy, but you’ll be healthier, and ……

A. A smoker B. A non-smoker C. A 50-year-old person
( )9. What does the writer think of smoking?
