3．The Basics of Math-Made Clear
Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics，as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas．These 30fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra（代数） and beyond．
The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic．They also look into exponents（指数），the order of operations，and square roots．In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations，students discover why these operations work，how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics，and how these operations can be used practically．
Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones，so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students．The lectures offer students the chance to"make sense"of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening．They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing-and completely understandable-field of study．
By the conclusion of the course，students will have improved their understanding of basic math．They will be able to clear away the mystery（神秘性） of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined．In addition，they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges．
Professor H．Siegel，honored by Kentucky Educational Television as"the best math teacher in America，"is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious．From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems，he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary．
With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University，Dr．Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College．His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers．

2．Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror．Your face is firm and young-looking．In 2035，medical technology is better than ever．Many people your age could live to be 150，so at 40，you're not old at all．And your parents just had an anti-aging（抗衰老的）  treatment．Now，all three of look the same age!
You say to your shirt，"Turn red．"It changes from blue to red．In 2035，"smart clothes"contain particles（粒子） much smaller than the cells in your body．The particles can be programmed to change clothes'color or pattern．
You walk into the kitchen．You pick up the milk，but a voice says，"You shouldn't drink that!"Your fridge has read the chip （芯片） that contains information about the milk，and it Knows the milk is old．In 2035，every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip．
It's time to go to work．In 2035，cars drive themselves．Just tell your"smart car"where to go．On the way，you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve．Such"smart technology"is all around you．
So will all these things come true？"For new technology to succeed，"says scientist Andrew Zolli，"it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already．"The Internet is one example what will be the next？

1．A
When milk arrived on the doorstep
When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s，we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep．His name was Mr．Basille．He wore a white cap and drove a white truck．As a 5-year-old boy，I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt．He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer．
Of course，he delivered more than milk．There was cheese，eggs and so on．If we needed to change our order，my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles．And then，the buttermilk would magically appear．
All of this was about more than convenience．There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen．Mr．Basille even had a key to out house，for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors，so that the milk wouldn't freeze．And I remember Mr．Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table，having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery．
There is sadly no home milk delivery today．Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk，thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete．Besides，milk is for sale everywhere，and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service．
Recently，an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories．I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）．Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is．So I start telling stories of my boyhood，and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk．
56．Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changerC．
A．to show his magical power．B．to pay for the delivery．
C．to satisfy his curiosity．D．to please his mother．
57．What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house？D
A．He wanted to have tea there．B．He was a respectable person．
C．He was treated as a family member．D．He was fully trusted by the family．
58．Why does home milk delivery no longer exist？B
A．Nobody wants to be a milkman now．B．It has been driven out of the market．
C．Its service is getting poor．D．It is forbidden by law．
59．Why did the author bring back home an old milk box？A
A．He missed the good old days．B．He wanted to tell interesting stories．
