Suppose you are going to Boston,and you have n 1      visited the city before. If someone tells you about the i 2      places in this city,you b 3      to get some idea of what you will see. But you don’t have a c 4      idea of where these places are or of how to find them.

However,if someone has a map of the city and s 5      you the main roads and buildings,you may say,  Oh,now I  t 6      I can find my way with no trouble at all. ” Working in maths is somewhat like trying to find your way a 7      a new city. Perhaps in problems the words may tell you some things and you have heard about them,but you can’t see any clear road t 8      the answers. Maybe you need to have a kind of map of the m 9      roads in maths to help you find your way. Explore what goes on in maths,and try  your best to  find the  main roads.  They  will  lead

you to  answers. If you can find the  road map,the  maths  problems will  be e 10       worked  out.

 Two businessmen were invited to dinner at the house of a professor. One of them didn’t have much education,so his friend told him, “Don’t talk about anything if you don’t really understand. ”

The first man got through the dinner successfully,but at last he drank too much and began to get careless.

A guest asked him whether he liked Shakespeare(莎士比亚).and he answered, “It’s very pleasant,but I like scotch(苏格兰酒)better. ”There was a silence in the living-room,and soon people began to leave.

When the two friends were out of the house,the second man said to his friend, “You made yourself a fool after making that silly remark(言论)about scotch. What do you mean?”asked the other man, “What was wrong with it?”

“Everyone knows that Shakespeare isn’t a drink”’his friend replied. “It’s a kind of cheese. ”

Dear Major(市长).

It’s is not fair. Our teachers are too strict with us. We have to get up early and come to school

on time. We can’t be late for class. We can’t do other things in class. We have to listen to the teacher carefully and be ready for(准备)any surprising questions.

We have to do our homework even on weekends. We have to hand in the exercise books on school days.

We can’t play ball games after class,even after school,because our parents and teachers think it’s bad for our study. We can’t play computer games while they can. We can’t watch TV because they think it’s dangerous. We can’t do the things we want to do because they don’t want us to do. They only allow us to do things they want us to do.

We never have any fun. What should we do? What do you think we will be if things go on like that?

 Children’s schooling is changing very fast today. In the past,teachers k 1      children sitting still for hours. They made them remember d 2      kinds of things. In other w 3     ,the children had to go on repeating things until they knew them “by heart”.

Today,many teachers want to know if it is p 4      to make children learn at all. They say you can o 5      help them learn. They say you must let children learn and find out things by t 6      But for these children,school is a kind of prison (监狱).They are there only because their p 7      make them go. They get out of the classroom as soon as the teacher lets them 1 8      .

Many of them want to find work,but the law(法律)will not let them work until they reach a certain a 9     . And so,they have to stay in school. Often they do not learn anything at all and h 10      every moment.
