  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 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.

“I believe you’re the right person to write an advice column (专栏) for the students called Dear Amy!” Jenny, editor of the school newspaper, said to Andy, who finally agreed to accept the job if Jenny promised not to tell it to anyone else.
At first it wasn’t too bad. Most of the letters he received were interesting and quite easy to answer. Then came a letter from a person named Joe.
“Dear Amy,” it began, “I’m in real trouble. I’ve wanted to be a songwriter all my life, but my parents won’t even let me take music lessons. I have a guitar, but they both get angry if I play. I’ve tried explaining, but they won’t listen. I feel sad. Should I run away from home? Maybe that will make my parents agree.” The letter signed “Joe”.
Andy thought about this letter for a long time. Should he advise someone to run away from home? Probably not. But didn’t Joe have a right to be a songwriter if he wanted to? Andy thought hard, but couldn’t think out a good answer. Andy couldn’t sleep. He just worried about poor Joe.
At a bar a few days later, Eleanor, a girl in Andy’s math class, sat down next to him and asked, “ What’s wrong with you? You look a little worried.”
“I guess I do,” said Andy.
“If you got an problem, why don’t you try writing to Dear Amy about it?” asked Eleanor.
Andy sighed; but she continued, “in fact, I guess Dear Amy is rather busy with other problems. She still hasn’t answered the phony letter I wrote her last week. You’d better read it – it may even make the most hard-hearted person cry! It was supposed to be from a songwriter named Joe.”

判断正误,正确(T), 错误(F)

We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There's no real word for it yet, so we'll call it e-talk. People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters (called acronyms). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms(聊天室). Some of them are: BTW (by the way); BRB (be right back); LOL (laughing out loud); IMO (in my opinion).

People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are: info (information); puter (computer); pic (picture); sec (second).

We usually don't see people when we communicate(交流)on the Net, so people have

new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw "feelings", such as:

:-)  (happy)     ;-)  (joking)       :-(  (sad)        :-O  (surprised)

These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example:

 


(happy)            (sad)            (angry)             (cool)

There are even whole new words, like "newbies"(someone who is new on a chat board

or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it's called "flaming" the

person. It takes time for people to get used to(适应) e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net

have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people

what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.

1  People type acronyms so that they can type them quickly.

2  “BTW, my puter is not working well.” means that the person is sad that his compute having problems.

3  If someone is angry, he may type “LOL” or “BRB”.

4  E-talk will probably be used by people on the telephone.

5  The best title for this passage is E-talk
