Hi David,
I’m very interested in math, and I dream of becoming a mathematician(数学家). But
every time I didn’t do well in the math exam, I felt really sad and would cry. What should I do?
Eason
Hi Eason,
It’s sad when we don’t do well in something we really want to be good at. But you need
to think. What will crying do? Nothing. Much of math is about logical (逻辑的) thinking. How
can we fix problems mathematically? What can be done to get the results you want? It’s also
about trial and error (不断摸索). Instead of being sad, learn from your mistakes. Think, “OK,
where did I go wrong? What are my weak points and where do I need more practice?”
Make a habit of practicing math out of school every day. Many online math programs,
like Mathletics, are interesting and useful to help your math. And I’m sure if you talk to your
teacher, they can also help you.
You want to do math, which means you are motivated (有积极性的)! That’s already half
the battle (战役).
David
4. To help Eason do well in the math exam, which old saying may David use?
A. Love me, love my dog. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Out of sight, out of mind. D. Seeing is believing.
5. After reading the letter, Eason may feel __________.
A. afraid B. angry C. glad D. helpless
6. The two letters are mainly about __________.
A. online programs B. teenage problems C. close friends D. different hobbies
C
Friends, an important kind of people in your life — like the bright light in the dark tunnel (隧
道), the only boat in the sea and the warm clothes in winter — always overcome (克服)
difficulties with you. “How to make friends” is a question that troubles a lot of people. Joining a
sports team, taking part in group activities, or traveling can help. I totally agree on the idea that
taking part in group activities is the best way to make friends. The reasons are given as follows.
First, friendship which is established (建立) by group activities is more lasting and stronger.
In the activities, you have the same motivation (动力) and work for the same goal (目标). It will
make you closer. Also, facing difficulties together is a good way to make your friendship stronger.
When you are in trouble, you will try your best to work out the problems. You will help each other,
trust each other and work as a team. When you finally work out the problem, you will understand
each other better. If you live very near each other, it will be easier to visit your friends.
Second, these friends may be more outgoing than the friends you meet in other ways. For
example, two friends can do what they can to help others, because both of them are kind and like
to offer help to someone in need. As an old saying goes, “To help others is the fountain (源泉) of
happiness.” So, you and your friends can get happiness, and it will also help make you closer.
All in all, this is why I hold the idea that taking part in group activities is the best way to
make friends.7. Why is friendship established by group activities more lasting and stronger?
A. You live very near each other.
B. You can do what you can to help others.
C. You have the same motivation and work for the same goal.
D. You are more outgoing than the friends you meet in other ways.
8. How does the writer talk about his idea in Paragraph 3?
A. Giving examples. B. Listing numbers.
C. Making comparison (比较). D. Using pictures.
9. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Friends are important in life.
B. Traveling is a good way to make friends.
C. Facing difficulties together is a good way to make friends.
D. Group activities are the best way to make friends.
10. The writer writes the article to __________.
A. encourage (鼓励) readers to take part in group activities
B. tell readers about different ways to make friends
C. make readers happy with stories about friendship
D. keep readers away from people without friends

任务型阅读
With its beautiful art, the cartoon movie Chang An 《( 长安三万里》) takes us back to the Tang
Dynasty (618 - 907). The stories of Li Bai and Gao Shi come to life before our eyes.
In the movie, Li is a poetry genius (诗歌天才). Gao is a common man. Gao stammers (口吃)
when he is young. He also has problems with reading. When he sees words, there seem to be a
group of tadpoles (蝌蚪) swimming around on the paper.
However, even so, I still like Gao. A girl named Pei Shier wins a fight over him. This makes
Gao see that he needs to work harder on his skills. He doesn’t make it to the military exam (武考).
Then he chooses to read the classics and poems again to get ready for the imperial exam, or keju.
It shows us that Gao always takes a positive attitude (积极的态度) to different problems.
And it also turns out that luck likes those who work hard. In the end, Gao becomes a great military
leader and leads his team to win a big fight. From a young boy to an old, Gao walks a long way
between reality (现实) and dreams in his lifetime.
Geniuses such as Li Bai are too few. The hard-working Gao Shi, however, is the common
people’s example to follow.
