24、of mathematics, as well as thefundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra（代數(shù)） andbeyond.The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into expone

25、nts（ 指數(shù)）, the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.Bas

26、ic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “makesense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. T

27、hey also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing and completely understandable field of study.By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery（ 神秘性 ） of math

28、ematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as“the best mathteacher in America, ”is a devoted teacher an

29、d has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr.

Con fused, I gla need toward my stone-faeed teache

34、r. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “ What could be caus ing every one to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lan celot gave me the task. This was the firstreal talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Inter

35、net and find in formatio n about a man n amed George Wash ington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the n ame of this fellow, it became evide nt that there were two people beari ng the same n ame who looked

36、completely differe nt! One inven ted hun dreds of uses for pea nu ts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the scree n, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for agolden piece ofadvice; flip （ 擲）a coin. Heads the comma nder, and tails the pea nuts

37、 guy. Ah! T ails, my report would be about the great man who inven ted pea nut butter, George Wash ington Carver.Weeks later, sta nding before this unfrien dly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I loweredthe paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate beg

38、an his report, it all became clear,“ My report is on George Washington, theman who started the American Revolution.” Thleole world became quite! How could Iknow that she meant that George Wash ington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this aroun d. I talked to

39、 Miss Lan celot, but she in sisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chanee. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten mon ths later, that chanee unfolded as I found myself sitting

40、in the headmaster s office wranmfather,now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrass ing mome nt at the begi nning of the year as the headmaster in formed me of my optio n to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!60. What did the authorclassmates think ab

He followed the advice and flipped a coin.C. He forgot his teacher s in struct ion.D. He was new at the school.62. The underlined wor

42、d “ burning ” in Para. 3 probably means.A. anno yedB. ashamedC. readyD. eager63. In the end, the author turned things around .A. by redoing his taskB. through his own effortsC. with the help of his grandfatherD. under the guidance of his headmasterCDecision-making under StressA new review based on a

43、 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 （ 負面的 ） consequences of a decision.The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.“ S

44、tress affects how people learn, ” says Professor Mara Mather. “ People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress. ”For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images（ 影 像 ） with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participan

45、ts were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material l

46、ess accurately than those who hadn t gone through the stress.This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eatingcookies or smok ing a cigarette while un der stress-at those mome nts, only the pleasureassociated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings furthe

47、r suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus o

48、n rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big, men

49、may tend to do better, when caution weighs more, however, women will win.This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually hard

50、en into addiction.64. We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to .A. keep rewards better in their memoryB. recall consequences more effortlesslyC. make risky decisions more frequentlyD. learn a subject more effectively65. According to the research, stress affects people most pr

51、obably in their .A. ways of making choicesB. preference for pleasureC. tolerance of punishments D. responses to suggestions66. The research has proved that in a stressful situation, .A. women find it easier to fall into certain habitsB. men have a greater tendency to slow downC. women focus more on

52、outcomesD. men are more likely to take risksDWilderness“ In wilderness（ 荒野 ） is the preservation of the world.” This is a famous saying from awriter regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whethe

53、r to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.farAs John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such imag

54、es untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation（ 開發(fā) ） brings to such landscapes（ 景觀 ） is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr.Sauven, these” ecosystem servicesoutweigh the gains from exploita

55、tion.Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are e

56、ver more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapp

57、ed without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument 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 sug
