【題目】Ask any student which subject he or she hates most. 9 out of 10 students will answer “math”．No matter which country you visit，no matter which grade you are in，you may not learn art，geography，chemistry or Chinese，but you always learn math. Why is this so？How come so many students hate math，and yet cannot avoid learning it in school ?

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

However，there is much more to math than just learning to add and subtract(減)numbers. In fact，math is not so much about calculation (計(jì)算), it is also about learning to think logically (邏輯地) 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 (高效地)？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 most students always learn in different grades at school?

A. chemistry B. math C. geography D. art

【2】What does Jenny Sanders think of learning math?

A. interesting. B. boring. C. useless D. useful

A. 90% of the students hate learning math.

B. Students can learn math well with computers.

C. Math can do calculations and store information.

D. Computers can take people’s place to think about everything.

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

A. 科目 B. 效率 C. 資源 D. 能源

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

A. Math is just learning to add and subtract numbers

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

How to lead a balanced life

Many students suffer from stress in their daily lives. They are under stress because their lives are not balanced. They focus too much on studying, worrying about what others think, and not enough on other things.

You may wonder whether stress is a serious matter. The answer is “Yes”. You should be aware that stress is a risk to your health. If you want to live a long and healthy life, you need to begin to guard against stress from a young age.

Here are some ways to deal with stress and bring balance to your life.

Be positive

One way to cancel out stress is through positive thinking. You should always look on the bright side of life, and imagine that you will have a happy and successful future.

Learn to relax

Force yourself to take a break from your studies and worries about exams. You can do this by taking a walk, reading a book, going to a concert or seeing a film, or just sitting in a quiet place and being silent for a moment.

Take up a hobby

Learn to paint, take up skating, or start playing a musical instrument. When you are busy with a hobby, you leave all your worries behind.

Take care of your body

Stress is your body’s enemy. Taking regular exercise, eating a healthy diet and getting enough sleep are all the things that can help you.

Laugh

Sometimes laughter is the best medicine for stress. Seeing a funny film or telling jokes with friends will often make you happy when you are low.
