There is a fun math puzzle. Tom has some apples. He gives half of his apples to his friend Lily. Then Lily gives Tom three apples back. Now Tom has seven apples. How many apples did Tom have at the beginning?
Let's think about it step by step. Tom gives half of his apples to Lily. Then he gets three apples back and has seven apples. So before getting the three apples back, he had seven minus three which is four apples. And this four apples is half of what he had at the beginning. So if four is half, then the total number of apples Tom had at the beginning is four times two which is eight.
Now let's do another little puzzle. There are some pencils in a box. Mary takes out three pencils. Then John puts in five pencils. Now there are ten pencils in the box. How many pencils were there in the box at the beginning?
We can work this out by doing ten minus five which is five. Then add back the three pencils Mary took out. So there were five plus three which is eight pencils in the box at the beginning.>
1. How many apples did Tom have at the beginning?
A. Six
C. Eight
D. Nine
答案：C。

解析：文章中明确提到Tom 最后有七个苹果，在得到Lily 给的三个苹果之前有四个苹果，而这四个苹果是他最初苹果数的一半，所以最初有八个苹果。

Math games are not only fun but also a great way to improve your thinking skills. One popular math game is called “Number Hunt”. In this game, players are given a set of numbers and they have to find a specific pattern or relationship among them. For example, they might be asked to find the number that is twice as large as another number in the set. Or they might need to find the sum of all the numbers and then divide by a certain number to get a specific result.
Another exciting math game is “Math Riddles”. In this game, players are presented with riddles that can only be solved by using math. For instance, “I am a number. When you add me to myself and then subtract
me from the result, you get 20. What number am I?” This kind of riddle challenges students to think creatively and use their math knowledge to find the answer.
Math games can be played alone or in groups. Playing in groups can be even more fun as you can discuss and collaborate with others to find the solutions. It also helps to develop teamwork and communication skills.
6. What is one example of a task in “Number Hunt”?
A. Finding the largest number in the set.
B. Finding the number that is half as large as another number.
C. Finding the number that is three times as large as another number.
D. Finding the difference between two numbers.
答案：B。

解析：文章中提到在“Number Hunt”游戏中可能会被要求找到一个数是另一个数的两倍大，选项B 是找一个数是另一个数的一半大，与之类似。

A 找最大数、C 找三倍大的数、D 找两数之差在文章中未提及。

7. What kind of riddles are in “Math Riddles”?
A. Riddles about animals.
B. Riddles about colors.

In our daily lives, we can find many interesting math phenomena. For example, when we go shopping, we need to calculate the total cost and change. If a pen costs 5 yuan and a notebook costs 8 yuan, and you buy two pens and three notebooks, how much will you spend in total? The answer is easy to figure out. We multiply the price of pens by the number of pens and the price of notebooks by the number of notebooks, then add the two results together. That is, 2 * 5 + 3 * 8 = 10 + 24 = 34 yuan.
Another example is about time. If a movie lasts for 120 minutes, how
many hours is that? We know that 60 minutes is one hour, so 120 minutes is 2 hours.
Math is also useful when we divide things equally. Suppose there are 15 apples and we want to divide them equally among 5 people. How many apples will each person get? We divide 15 by 5, and the answer is 3. Each person will get 3 apples.

16. If a book costs 10 yuan and a pencil costs 2 yuan. You buy three books and four pencils. How much will you spend in total?
A. 30 yuan
B. 38 yuan
C. 42 yuan
D. 48 yuan
答案：B。

解析：Three books cost 3 * 10 = 30 yuan. Four pencils cost 4 * 2 = 8 yuan. So the total cost is 30 + 8 = 38 yuan.

17. If a train travels 60 kilometers in one hour. How many kilometers will it travel in three hours?
A. 120 kilometers
B. 150 kilometers
C. 180 kilometers
D. 210 kilometers
答案：C。

解析：In one hour, the train travels 60 kilometers. In three hours, it will travel 60 * 3 = 180 kilometers.

18. There are 20 candies and we want to divide them equally among
4 children. How many candies will each child get?
A. 4 candies
B. 5 candies
C. 6 candies
D. 7 candies
答案：B。

解析：We divide 20 candies by 4 children. 20 ÷ 4 = 5. So each child will get 5 candies.

19. If a shirt costs 25 yuan and there is a 20% discount. How much will the shirt cost after the discount?
A. 20 yuan
B. 21 yuan
C. 22 yuan
D. 23 yuan
答案：A。

解析：The discount is 20% of 25 yuan, which is 25 * 0.2 = 5 yuan. So the cost after discount is 25 - 5 = 20 yuan.
