26、 In middle school, math was my least favorite subject. I understood history. I loved English. However, math never made sense to me, no matter how many times I worked through a problem. I wanted to be good at math, but I didn’t think it possible.
I started taking classes offered by Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) during the summer after my eighth-grade year. I had to admit that in my first class I felt like I was completely unqualified (不合格的) to be in the class, surrounded by so many smart kids. There were times when I felt lost in a sea of materials that I could never hope to understand. But slowly and surely, a few weeks later, AoPS taught me how to love the process of learning math. I went from being a kid who hated math classes to begging my parents to let me take an extra math class on Friday nights.
The most common wrong idea I hear is that people who are skilled at math come by their skills naturally. Many of my high school friends laughed at me for being a math nerd (书呆子). People thought that math came easy to me, when, in fact, the exact opposite was true. Math was not easy for me to learn. It was something I worked hard at.
Math is often viewed as a subject you either “get” or you don’t. But most of math is not about natural talent. If people approach math thinking they can’t be good at it, then they have set themselves up to fail. Just like any other skills, success comes with practice. There are many great mathematicians in this world, but we should remember they all had to start at the beginning just like we do.
The skills we learn from problem-solving in math can be useful in our lives. So don’t give up math. Just remember that you can learn math well if you have a right attitude towards it and work hard enough.

27、I was living in Delta in 2015. There was a man, Boniface, who owned a store which I’d often visited. Gradually we became friends. One day, we talked about the business opportunities in our country at that time, and during the communication, I found the most practical one was starting a barrow (手推车)rental business. Then we talked more on it, and both of us thought there was a strong possibility of succeeding. So we went into the business.
We started as a small business with 6 barrows. The barrow-men gave us 51 cents per day for renting the barrows. It seemed small but later grew and made our life better. But we didn’t stop there. That was because when we first started our business, our aim wasn’t only to make money. The most valuable thing for us is to touch others’ lives positively.
In Nigeria, being a barrow pusher is not a very attractive job. But for people who were poor farmers or young people without jobs, wheelbarrow pushing helps them make a living. It doesn’t require much skill. With hard work and vigor, a person can make money daily.
We saw the meaning of this business and then decided to spend money and resources on rebranding (重塑…的形象) barrows. We gave each barrow-man a branded T-shirt to show they belonged to a good brand. We also held small classes for them to educate them on how to make their barrows better transporters and how to be extra polite to people so as to build up a good fame. We marketed them as polite and excellent pushers to attract more customers. These methods worked. They started getting more jobs and earned more. And a number of them even saved up enough to start businesses of their own.
Today, that little business made us millionaires while hiring over 20 people and touching their lives positively. Over 20 families are fed because two Nigerians decided, despite all the difficulties, to do something.
【1】What made the author start the barrow rental business?

【2】Which of the following did the author consider most important in running the business?
A．Hiring more workers.
B．Improving people’s lives.
C．Cutting the company’s costs.
D．Making customers touched.
【3】What does the underlined word “vigor” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Energy.
B．Praise.
C．Creativity.
D．Education.
【4】What did the author and his friend do to rebrand the business?
A．They sent the barrow-men to school.
B．They lent money to the barrow-men.
C．They taught the barrow-men to make clothes.
D．They turned the barrow-men into professional pushers.
28、When you are reading something in English, you may often meet with a new word. What's the best way to know it?
You may look it up in an English-Chinese dictionary. It will tell you a lot about the word: the pronunciation, the part of speech ( 词性), the Chinese meaning and also how to use the word. But how can you know where the word is in thousands of English words? How to find it in thousands of English words? How to find it in the dictionary quickly and correctly?
All the English words are arranged in the alphabcrical order ( 按照字母表的順序 ) in a dictionary. In the dictionary you can first see the words beginning with the letter A, B, C, D... That means, if there are two words "general" and "morning", "general” will be certainly before "morning". Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter, you may look at the second letter. Then the third, the fourth... For example, "before" is before "begin", "foreigner" is before "forest", etc.
The dictionary will be your good friend. I hope you'll use it as often as possible in your English learning.

29、Birds that migrate long distances tend to be more likely than others to break up with their partners, according to an analysis of 232 species conducted by Sun Yat-sen University.
About 90 per cent of bird species are socially monogamous (一夫一妻制的), which means once they form pairs, they will stay together for life. However, some do end up getting “divorced” and move onto new partners.
To identify reasons that lead to bird break ups, Liu Yang at Sun Yat-sen University in China and his colleagues studied 232 species in one of the world’s largest bird databases, Birds of the World. They found that species that migrate particularly long distances to obtain food typically have higher rates of breaking up.
Great blue herons, for example, migrate more than 3000 kilometres and have a divorce rate of 100 per cent. This may be because travelling further makes it harder for a pair to return home at the same time, says Liu Yang. “If you’re the one who gets back first, it’s risky waiting for your partner because you don’t know if it’ll show up — it may have died or been blown off course,” Liu adds. Finding a new partner may seem a safer bet even if it requires energy to please a new mate, he says.
Liu and his team members acknowledge that it makes sense for birds with long migrations to have higher divorce rates, but there are exceptions.
Black-tailed godwits, for example, migrate more than 1000 kilometres from Iceland to the UK or southwest Europe each year but have relatively low divorce rates. This seems to be due to a super ability to keep pace with their partners. Although members of a pair will follow separate migration paths and typically end up more than 900 kilometres away from each other, they are somehow able to return to Iceland at almost the same time, which reduces the risk of break-ups. “But most birds are not able to do that — it’s pretty amazing.” Liu concludes.
【1】What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A．Most bird species have more than one partner for life.
B．Few bird species are devoted to their partners.
C．Most bird species have higher rates of breaking up.
D．Most bird species tend to have only one partner.
【2】Why do great blue herons have a divorce rate of 100 per cent?
A．Because the bird pairs choose different migration routes.
B．Because they get tired of their partners.
C．Because they are impatient with waiting.
D．Because it is safer for them to move onto a new partner.
【3】What can we learn about black-tailed godwits in the last paragraph?
A．They have a higher divorce rate than great blue herons.
B．The nearly same returning time reduces the risk of their divorce.
C．It is typical of them to migrate at the same speed with their partners.
D．They set a good example of romance for other birds.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text? .
A．Migration Linked to Bird Divorce
B．Reasons for Bird Migration
C．Bird Migration with Long Distances
D．Birds — with High Rates of Divorce.
