9．Thomas Adams first tried to change chicle（树胶）into rubber products，before making a chewing gum（口香糖）．Thomas Adams attempted to make toys，masks，rain boots，and bicycle tires out of the chicle from Mexican trees，but every experiment failed．Consequently Mr Thomas Adams intended to throw the remaining into the East River．
    It happened that before this was done，Thomas Adams went into a drugstore where he saw a little girl come in to ask for a chewing gum for one penny．So an idea struck him that perhaps they could use the chicle he wanted to throw away as chewing gums．After the child had left the store，Mr．Thomas Adams asked the druggist what kind of chewing gum the little girl had bought．He was told that it was made of paraffin wax（固体石蜡）．When he asked the man if he would be willing to try an entirely different kind of gum，the druggist agreed．

7．Bali Beach Resort has plenty of attractions．It is a holiday paradise．The self-styled‘Ultimate Island'certainly has plenty for everyone．
Where in the world？
Bali is located just off the eastern edge of the main Indonesian island of Java．To the east is the neighboring island of Lombok．To the south of Bali lies the expanse of the Indian Ocean，while to the north is the bali Sea．The most popular resort with hokidaymakeers is Ubud north of Sanur．
When to go？
Bali has a tropical climate year round with an average daily temperature of
3℃（8℉）．The wet season is between October and April．The dry season is between May and September，and is the busiest time to visit the island as travellers take advantage of the long hot days and little rain．
Beach
Bali has a string of beaches，mainly in the south of the island．Head away from Bali's beaches and a totally different world awaits you．Ubud is an easily accessible jungle resort town with a good range of hotels，shops and restaurants．The active volcano of Mount Batur is a highlight and so are the mountain lakes．
Family fun
All of the resorts have plenty of facilities for families．In Ubud there is a monkey park，where young ones can see monkeys that are not kept in tiny cages and an elephant park where holidaymakers can ride an elephant．
Eating out
All of bali's holiday resorts offer international cooking to suit every tourist's taste，with most of the better hotels having excellent restaurants．Indonesian bintang beer is very popular．
Getting around
There are a limited number of local buses．The other public transport is to take the local"bemo"minibuses．These colourful little minibuses speed around the winding roads with fares negotiated on board，so it helps to speak a little of the local language．There are also taxis and both electric bikes and cars can be hired．

13．India was once part of the British Empire，but thanks to modern technology and a booming economy，it has turned the tables on its former colonial master．Indian tutors are helping to teach math to British children over high-speed Internet connections．Early results suggest the idea is improving exam results．But not everyone is happy at this"outsourcing"of tutoring．
   It's 3：30，and pupils at Raynham Primary School in London are gathering for their after-school maths lessons．
   Five time zones-thousands of kilometers away-their math tutors are also arriving for class．High-speed Internet has made it possible for Indian tutors to teach British pupils in real time．Each pupil gets a dedicated one-to-one online tutor．The students work with activities on their computer screen and wear a headset and microphone to talk to their tutor．
   The class teacher，Altus Basson，says he has seen an improvement in results．"There are some children who've really rocketed in their results．Children who struggleto focus in class focus a lot better on the laptops．The real advantage is that each child gets a focused activity and a single tutor，"he said．
   Such individualized teaching is the core idea of Brightspark Education，the company that provides the online tutoring，says founder Tom Hooper．"Children today feel very confident online； they feel very engaged； they feel very in control．And that's half the battle with education．Give them control，make them feel confident and enjoy their learning and you'll see them start to improve and embrace it，"he said．
    Raynham Primary School is among the first in Europe to try online tutoring．At between 20and25 an hour，it's about half the cost of face-to-face coaching．But some people say an Internet connection is not enough of a connection for teaching and learning．Kevin Courtney is deputy General Secretary of Britain's National Union of Teachers．"We think，there's a really important emotional connection between a teacher and a child whether it's a whole class or whether it's one-to-one．You need that immediacy of feedback and we're not convinced that that can happen across an Internet connection．In one of the wealthiest．countries in the world，we think that we can afford to have teachers with genuine emotional connection there with the
children，"he said．
    Brightspark Education says the online tutoring is used only as an addition to supplement regular teaching．The company says its service does not represent a threat to teachers'jobs in Britain．
    Parents say they're very satisfied with the results they've seen．And what about the children？Children："I love it!"I love it!"I hate maths!"So math--or，as the British call it，maths-is still not everyone's favorite subject even with the latest technology to teach it．
49．What do we know about the online tutoring？B
   A．Indian tutors are helping to teach math in Britain．
   B．Tutors and students are in different places．
   C．An online tutor helps several students at the same time．
   D．Tutors and students communicate by telephone．
50．What can we learn about Brightspark Education？D
   A．It shows a threat to teachers'jobs in Britain．
   B．It can take place of the regular teaching．
   C．It only pays attention to math teaching．
   D．It emphasizes the individualized teaching．
51．According to Kevin Courtne，C．
   A．online tutoring will represent a threat to teachers'jobs in Britain
   B．online tutoring has a great influence on British．
   C．the emotional connection between a teacher and a child is important
   D．immediacy of feedback can happen across an Internet connection

B．Indian Teachers and British Students
