【題目】Most people graduate from school and then get a job. Everyone wants a job that pays well. How much money can you make? Ask yourself these questions: What can I do? What skills do I have? Also ask yourself: How much education do I have? For most jobs, the higher your education, the higher your earning power.

In the United States, high school graduates make about $18,600 a year. If you do not finish high school, you make only $10,800 a year. You can make $7,800 more each year by staying in high school!

If you stay in school, then you can make more money. A person with a high school degree makes about $18,600 a year. If that person goes to college and gets a bachelor’s degree (學(xué)士學(xué)位), he can make $42,000. With a master’s degree (碩士學(xué)位), he can make about $53,000. If the person gets a PhD (博士學(xué)位), he can make almost $79,000 or more a year.

We can learn a very important thing from this information. If you want to work and make more money, get a good education.

【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.① In fact, math is not so much about calculation as it is about learning to think logically and solving problems. ②Of course，Jenny was right that we could use computers to do calculations, but how would we even know how to use the computer if we couldn'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 students always learn in different grades at school?

A. Chinese. B. Math. C. Geography. D. Art.

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

A. Interesting. B. Boring. C. Useless. D. Difficult.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

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. Math helps students learn all the other subjects well.

【4】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.

C. Math helps us think logically and solve problems.

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