The Basics of ath—ade Clear
Basic ath introduces students to the basic concepts of atheatics, as well as the fundaentals of ore tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithetic and to prepare the for Algebra(代数) and beyond.
The lessons in Basic ath cover every basic aspect of arithetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perfor various atheatical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular atheatical topic relates to other branches of atheatics, and how these operations can be used practically.
Basic ath starts fro the relatively easier concepts and gradually oves on to the ore troublesoe ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the aterial by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “ake sense” of atheatical knowledge that ay have seeed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college atheatics and overcoe their anxiety about this aazing—and copletely understandable—field of study.
By the conclusion of the course, students will have iproved their understanding of basic ath. They will be able to clear away the ystery(神秘性) of atheatics and face their studies with ore confidence than they ever iagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting atheatical challenges.
Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best ath teacher in Aerica,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining atheatical concepts in ways that ake the see clear and obvious. Fro the basic concrete ideas to the ore abstract probles, he is aster in aking ath lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.
With a PhD in atheatics Education fro Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches atheatics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various ake-up classes and a nuber of lectures for future priary school teachers.
If the course fails to provide coplete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your oney back.

B
Peanuts to This
Proudly reading y words, I glanced around the roo, only to find y classates bearing big siles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward y stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide yself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day iss Lancelot gave e the task. This was the first real talk I received in y new school. It seeed siple: go on the Internet and find inforation about a an naed George Washington. Since y idea of history cae fro an ancient teacher in y hoe country, I had never heard of that nae before. As I searched the nae of this fellow, it becae evident that there were two people bearing the sae nae who looked copletely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led soe sort of ary across Aerica. I stared at the screen, wondering which one y teacher eant. I called y grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the coander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, y report would be about the great an who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly ass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at y desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classate began his report, it all becae clear, “y report is on George Washington, the an who started the Aerican Revolution.” The whole world becae quite! How could I know that she eant that George Washington?
Obviously, y grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to iss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishent was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw yself heartily into y work for the rest of the school year. Ten onths later, that chance unfolded as I found yself sitting in the headaster’s office with y grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I siled and flashed back to the ebarrassing oent at the beginning of the year as the headaster infored e of y option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

60. What did the author’s classates think about his report?
A. Controversial. B. Ridiculous.
C. Boring. D. Puzzling.
61. Why was the author confused about the task?
A. He was unfailiar with Aerican history.
B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.
C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction.
D. He was new at the school.
62. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably eans _______.
A. annoyed B. ashaed
C. ready D. eager
63. In the end, the author turned things around _______.
A. by redoing his task
B. through his own efforts
C. with the help of his grandfather
D. under the guidance of his headaster

C
Decision-aking under Stress
A new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative (负面的) consequences of a decision.
The research suggests that stress ay change the way people ake choices in predictable ways.
“Stress affects how people learn,” says Professor ara ather. “People learn better about positive than negative outcoes under stress.”
For exaple, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect iages(影像) with either rewards or punishents. In one experient, soe of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult ath probles in front of an audience; in the other, soe were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants reebered the rewarded aterial ore accurately and the punished aterial less accurately than those who hadn’t gone through the stress.
This phenoenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or soking a cigarette while under stress ?at those oents, only the pleasure associated with such activities coes to ind. But the findings further suggest that stress ay bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences reebered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.
The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-aking differently in en and woen. While both en and woen tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.
en who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take ore risks in the experient while woen responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big, en ay tend to do better, when caution weighs ore, however, woen will win.
This tendency to slow down and becoe ore cautious when decisions are risky ight also help explain why woen are less likely to becoe addicted than en: they ay ore often avoid aking the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.

64. We can learn fro the passage that people under pressure tend to ______.
A. keep rewards better in their eory
B. recall consequences ore effortlessly
C. ake risky decisions ore frequently
D. learn a subject ore effectively
65. According to the research, stress affects people ost probably in their ______.
A. ways of aking choicesB. preference for pleasure
C. tolerance of punishentsD. responses to suggestions
66.The research has proved that in a stressful situation, ______.
A. woen find it easier to fall into certain habits
B. en have a greater tendency to slow down
C. woen focus ore on outcoes
D. en are ore likely to take risks

D
Wilderness
“In wilderness(荒野) is the preservation of the world.” This is a faous saying fro a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environentalis. The frequency with which it is borrowed irrors a heated debate on environental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.
As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in iages of the wild, the untouched; ore than anything else, they speak of the nature that any people value ost dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such iages untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real. Soe of these wildernesses also perfor functions that huans need—the rainforests, for exaple, store carbon in vast quantities. To r.Sauven, these ”ecosyste services” far outweigh the gains fro exploitation.
Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing vie He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all huan presence, or indeed coercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever ore people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than erely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have iproved, there is still a growing need for raw aterials, and soe wildernesses contain the in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the arguent goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.
I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to e is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little ore directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without har.
This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves uch ore serious thinking.
67. John Sauven holds that_____.
A. any people value nature too uch
B. exploitation of wildernesses is harful
C. wildernesses provide huans with necessities
D. the urge to develop the ecosyste services is strong
68. What is the ain idea of Para. 3?
A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.
B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw aterials.
C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.
D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.
69. What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?
A. Objective. B. Disapproving.
C. Sceptical. D. Optiistic.
70. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A. B.
C. D.

根据短内容，从短后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Epathy
Last year, researchers fro the University of ichigan reported that epathy, the ability to understand other people, aong college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. __71__ Today, people spend ore tie alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.
Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen progra, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, copeting, and generally treating one another with no respect. __72__
There are good reasons not to follow those bad exaples. Huans are socially related by nature. __73__ Researchers have also found that epathetic teenagers are ore likely to have high self-respect. Besides, epathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.
Epathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, any top copanies report that epathy is one of the ost iportant things they look for in new anagers. __74__ “Acadeics are iportant. But if you don’t have eotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.
What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __75__
To really develop epathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing hoe or a hospital, join a club or a tea that has a diverse ebership, have a “sharing circle” with your faily, or spend tie caring for pets at an anial shelter.

A.Everyone is different, and levels of epathy differ fro person to person.
B.That could be because so any people have replaced face tie with screen tie, the researchers said.
C.“One doesn’t develop epathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says.
D.Huans learn by exaple—and ost of the exaples on it are anything but epathetic.
E.Epathy is a atter of learning how to understand soeone else—both what they think and how they feel.
F.Good social skills—including epathy—are a kind of “eotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in any areas of life.
G.Having relationships with other people is an iportant part of being huan—and having epathy is decisive to those relationships.
