specially interested.He took a great interest in me and he quickly discovered that I loved puzzles.He would often waylay me as I was going to class and produce a piece of paper from his pocket,often with a puzzle already on it.The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical.As time went on,they slowly got more difficult,but I loved them.They kindles within me a love of mathematical and problem-solving that stays with me to this day.They also served to show me that intellectual activity was rewarding when the correct answer were found ,but perhaps more importantly it was great fun.

三、段落翻译
Why are so many people so anxious to get away from the small town or village where they were brought up ,and to make for the big cities?They usually describe their hometown "boring"or "dead," or -the harshest criticism of all-as "provincial."
If we examine the question from a distance,as if we were viewing the whole country from a long way off,we start to get a clue about what it is that lures us intothe big city.The main point to notice about big cities is that they are big:there are a lot of people,and there are a lot of things going on,If you look down on a city,literally from a great distance,from an airplane at night,you will be struck by the incredible brightness of a city:there are so many lights that you cannot help feeling that all the bright things of life are down there waiting for you.But a feeling of disappointment will set in shortly after you land,because you will discover as you drive into the city center from the airport that the lights are just that:lights,miles and miles of streets lights and neon signs.They are not in themselves sources of joy and happiness:city lights are not friendly ,they are merely lights.In fact,the effect will probably be to make you feel lonely and isolated.
为什么那么多人十分急切地想离开自己从小长大的小城镇或村庄,奔向大城市呢?他们常说自己的家乡“枯燥乏味”,或者“死气沉沉”,或者最
苛刻地指责为“土里吧唧”。
如果我们超脱一点来研究这个问题,就像我们远距离地审视整个国家一样,我们对到底是什么诱使我们到大城市来这个问题就会有一点眉目了。
大城市值得注意的主要一点就是“大”:人多,发生的事情也多。
如果你真正从一个很远的距离,如夜晚航行的飞机上,服饰一座城市,你会被眼前难以置信的明亮所打动:那么多的灯光,以至于你会情不自禁地以为五彩缤纷的生活就在下面向你招手。
然而,一旦你落地,失望之情便会油然而生,因为当你驱车从机场驶入市中心时,你会意识到光明不过是延绵几英里的路灯和霓虹招牌。
他们本身并非是快乐与幸福的源泉。
城市之光并不友善,仅仅只是灯光而已。
事实上,其效果或许还让你感到寂寞和孤独。
