Chinese kids are good at math. This is what a lot of people the world think. They may have a
good reason for believing this. Of all the teenagers who took the international Student Assessment （评估）, Shanghai students scored the highest in math. Does this mean Chinese students like learning math?
In an online survey of 5,000 Chinese people,30 percent of these people don’t have a special interest in math. Another 30 percent just say that they don’t like math. “I spend a long time finishing all of my math homework. It is terrible. And many of my friends feel the same way.” said Chen Yongxin, 14, from Guangdong.
“Many students don’t like math because they don’t find it fun and don’t see how it will be useful in the future.” said Dun Ji’an, a math teacher from Beijing.
To make math learning more enjoyable, China can learn from North America. Teachers there help students understand fraction（分数）like 3/4 by pouring water into different cups. Besides, schools offer math courses with different difficulty. In this way, students can choose course according to their needs. Zhang Siming, a high school headmaster said, “after all, math lessons should grow kids’ logical thinking（逻辑思维）instead of just working out problems or exam papers. That will help them all their life.
26.Many people think Chinese kids are good at math because Chinese students ______.
A. are all interested in learning math
B. think math is the easiest of all the subjects
C. are smarter than the students from other countries
D. can score high in math in International Student Assessment.
27. What can teachers in China learn from North America?
A. Giving students more homework to do.
B. Giving examples in real life to help students understand.
C. Giving all the students the same math course to save time.
D. Giving students more exams to check their understanding.
28. According to the article, the writer agrees that ______.
A. higher scores in math mean stronger interest in it.
B. math is useful only in exam papers but not in real life
C. students’ interest and needs are important while learning
D. the more homework you do, the better you will be at math

In the Olympics, people always wish star players to win gold medals. In China, gold medal winners receive the warmest welcome from people. But this year is a little different for Chinese people because some of their most-loved players didn’t win gold medals.
在奥运会上，人们总是希望明星选手能赢得金牌。

在中国，金牌获得者受到人们最热烈的欢迎。

但今年对中国人来说有点不同，因为他们最喜爱的一些选手没有获得金牌。

Fu Yuanhui, a bronze medal（铜牌）winning swimmer. Has become a new hero of Chinese
people. On August 8, after she got a new personal best in the game, Fu said, “I’ve already … used my prehistorical powers（洪荒之力）.” And when report ers asked her what she thought of the final the next day, Fu answered, “I don’t have too much hope. I am already happy with myself.”
傅远辉，获得铜牌的游泳选手。

成为中国人民的新英雄。

8月8日，在得到新的个人最好成绩后，傅家俊说："我已经...使用我的史前权力（*）。

当记者问她第二天对决赛的看法时，傅家俊回答说："我没有太大的希望。

我已经对自己很满意了。

Fu’s honest y and happy personality won her millions of fans on the Internet. People call her the “Prehistorical Girl”. Fu Yuanhui and her large number of fans teach us a lesson: Sport is about the hard wok and especially enjoyment, but most certainly not about gold.
傅家俊的诚实和快乐的个性赢得了她在互联网上的数百万粉丝。

人们称她为"史前女孩"。

傅远辉和她的大批球迷给我们上了一课：体育是硬锅，尤其是享受，但肯定不是金牌。

Winning was everything for China’s Olympic players in the past. Liu Xiang became a national hero at the 2004 Athens Olympics. But for years later at the Beijing Olympics, when he had to give up just before his first race, few people showed understanding.
Now China is ready to welcome a sports star without a gold medal. “When we learn to enjoy competition itself, cheer for all the players, and face both winning and losing, we can show the greatness of a country.” said CCTV in its Weibo post.
