Most middle school students find it boring to learn math . But students in Yat Sen middle school in New York, US, don’t think so. Why? Because they are in the school of One Program, which asks students to work on their own or in small groups on computers to have math lessons.

“The program gives the students a new learning style. No traditional classroom can compare with it. We give each lesson according to the students’ interest and their strong and weak points,” said JoelⅠ. Klein, the school’s head teacher, “we’re looking for a new way that interest students children.”

Students enjoy these math lessons, especially lessons with video games. They must find out the answers to math problems to get through the game. One such game is Dimension M. As students move through mazes(迷宫) with their keyboards, some questions come up.

Caleb Deng had to answer the question: What is 5+ (6×3)? He calculated on paper quickly because there was just a minute left to play.

“ I was right,” said Deng, 14, as he ended the game with a high score (高分). “this really makes math lessons more exciting, since we are fighting to learn better.”

 Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then  31   ? Here is an example.

    There was a farmer who   32   corn (玉米) all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market to take part in a competition. Then each time his corn was chosen as the   33   and won the first prize.

    One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something   34   about how he grew it. The farmer   35 his seed corn to his neighbors.

    "How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?" the reporter asked.  "You know they are taking part in the   36   with you each year. "

    "Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The   37   picks up pollen (花粉)from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow   38   corn, cross-pollination (异花传粉) will affect the quality(质量) of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must   39   my neighbors to grow good corn. "

    The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve   40   his neighbor's corn improves.

     As a great man says, "We make a living by what we   41  ; we make a life by what we give." We can't   42   without food, clothes, and many other things. However, a meaning of life is not decided by how much we can  get,    43   by how much we can give others. Giving, instead of taking, makes us   44    from other animals.  So those who choose to live well must help others to live well and those who choose to be happy must help others to find   45   in their life.
