Jenny Sanders, a high school student in California, asks, “What good do we get from learning maths? We can use computers to compute numbers, and we can use computers to store information. I think learning maths at school is a waste of time.”

However, there is much more to maths than just learning to add and subtract (减) numbers. In fact, maths 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? 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. Maths. C. Geography. D. Art.

C. Maths can do calculations and store information.

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

【4】What does the underlined word “resources” mean in the passage?

A. 科目 B. 效率 C. 信息 D. 资源

【5】What does the writer want to tell us?

A. Maths is just learning to add and subtract numbers.

B. Maths can be good for both our body and our mind.

C. Maths helps us think logically and solve problems.

D. Maths can help students find a good job in the future.

Then you began to cry to make sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.

On that day you came to understand the secret of the language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is not as good as a word unless everyone agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, they can understand each other, so these people have a language.

After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as books, chairs and shops. Some of the words meant actions such as go and swim. And other words described things such as good or dirty. Soon you learned to put words together to express one’s idea, such as“I want to go out and play with my friends.”This is language. By the way of language people can communicate. So we say languages mean communication.
