Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldnt work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday.

I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldiers turn.

For example, if your address is 73 Lemon Street, you would write down 73. Next, double(翻一倍) it. In other words, multiply(乘) it by two. Then, add five to this doubled number. For example, if your address was 73and you doubled it, you would get 146. Then, if you added five, youd get 151. So, to repeat the first three steps, write down your house number, double it, and add five. Fourth, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, if you multiply 151 by 50, youll get 7550. The fifth step is to add your age to this total. For example, if youre 26years old, you should add 26 to this total. In our example here, the result would be 7550 plus 26, youll get 7576. Sixth, you have to add the number of days in a year, which is 365. In our example here, 365 added to 7576 is 7941. The seventh and final step is this: subtract(減) 615 from the number that you have. In our example, 7941 minus 615 is 7326. The result here, 7-3-2-6, is the trick. The first part of the number is the address and the last part of the number is the age of the person. That is, 73is the address that we started with, and 26is the age that we used. If you follow these seven steps with any address and the age of any person. You will get the same result. 1. According to the trick, what number can you get if you are 16 years old and your house number is 85？A. 1685B. 8516C. 8165D. 16582. How can your age number appear at the last part of the result?A. Its really a trick. B. By taking all the steps except Step1 and Step 2. C. By taking Step 6and Step 7.D. By taking all the steps. 3. Whats the secret of the trick? A. Its impossible to know. B. By taking Step 2 and Step 4, we get the formula(公式)：your address number ×2×50. C. By taking all the steps except 1 and 2, we get the formula: 5×50+your age number+365615=your age number. D. Both B and C. 4. Is it possible for us to design another program of getting the same result？A. No, its impossible to find out another way. B. No problem. C. I m not sure. D. Its nothing but a trick. 【答案與解析】 本文主要介紹一個數(shù)學(xué)的小把戲。1. B。推斷題。由文章的倒數(shù)第2段，“The first part”我們可以得出這條算術(shù)的答案：共有四位數(shù)字，前兩位是地址的號碼，后兩位是年齡的數(shù)字，所以答案是B。2. D。推斷題。只有將步驟全部算完才可以得出答案，因此選D。3.

C。由文章的第1段You can jump alone or with your classmate，既然是alone或with classmate，我們可以得知跳繩是一人或一人以上玩的游戲。3. B。第1段的最后一句講到Try ropes of different lengths until you find a right one for your size(試試各種不同長度的繩子，直到你找到適合你的身材的一個 right on)，據(jù)此顯然可推出其中的one指的是“繩子”。4. B。文章的第1段最后兩句告訴我們If you jump alone, you，所以玩跳繩以前，必須找到適合自己的繩子。5. D。我們可以在第2段找到Turning the rope freely and safely needs careful timing，這是與D項完全對應(yīng)的；另外，文中說的是slowing enough，而不是像A、B項所說的as slowly as possible和as high as possible，故排除A和B。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的You must learn when to stop for a rest before you jump again可將C項排除。*結(jié)束內(nèi)容總結(jié)（1）”我們可以得出這條算術(shù)的答案：共有四位數(shù)字，前兩位是地址的號碼，后兩位是年齡的數(shù)字，所以答案是B
