Changing Lives Through Maths!
Mathnasium of North Oxford, your neighbourhood maths-only learning centre!
We help children aged 13 — 18 understand maths in a special way. Our way of teaching children maths, the Mathnasium Method, has changed the way students learn maths for over a decade across 800 + centres worldwide:
• We know how to teach your child maths.
Our specially trained maths teachers will teach your child how to understand maths in a special setting—our unique approach enables us to effectively explain maths concepts (概念)well and lend a helping hand to every student. Our teachers create a caring, encouraging environment that helps your child "catch up, keep up and get ahead" in their maths learning.
• We find exactly your child' s learning needs, meet them where they are and take them where they need to go.
At Mathnasium we use our unique assessment process (评估过程)to determine exactly what each child knows and what they need to learn. Next, we design an individual(单独的)learning plan for each student. It doesn' t stop there—our teachers continually check progress along the way to make sure students truly understand the concepts we've taught. Students learn maths at their own speed and according to their own level. They will see obvious changes in attitude, confidence and school progress.

27、 National lawmakers are calling for more effective environmental protection of the Qilian Mountains, a vast natural habitat in western China.
The mountains stand across the border between Gansu and Qinghai provinces. The nature reserve became a national protected site in 1988, but hundreds of mines in the area and various construction projects took a toll on the environment.
Thanks to the recovery of the mountains’ environment and greater efforts to protect wildlife, many protected and rare wild animals have been sighted very often in recent years.
The city has also moved away all farmers, herdsmen and one-third of its people who were living in the mountains to a new zone and helped them find jobs in an effort to reduce the pressure on the environment.
Scientific research and advanced technology are key to the restoration (重建) of the mountains’ ecology (生态), said Wang Tao, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources.
Wang said a research center led by the institute was set up last year to focus on ecosystem recovery and the ecological management of the mountains under the influence of global climate change.
The center has begun research to carry out environmental observation and assessment (评估), providing support for the creation of a Qilian Mountains national park, he added.
To better protect the mountains, Wang said, it’s necessary to promote large-scale, rapid observation approach and build a great ecological assessment system in the reserve.
A data-sharing (数据共享) management system should be pushed forward to create a database (数据库) of the mountains, environment, which would support its protection in a scientific way, he added.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “took a toll” in the second paragraph mean?
A.protected B.ignored C.harmed D.controlled
【2】What’s the purpose of moving away people working and living in the mountains?
A.To create a national park
B.To found a research center.
C.To increase the number of wildlife.
D.To reduce the pressure on the environment.
【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Rare wild animals can be seen everywhere in the reserve.
B.A research center was established for ecosystem restoration.
C.Since 1988, the Qilian Mountains have been well protected.
D.Many effective laws have been made to protect the environment.
【4】What do Wang Tao’s words suggest?
A.An ecological assessment system should be set up.
B.Scientific research plays the biggest part in restoring ecology.
C.Global climate change influences the research on ecological assessment.
D.A data-sharing management system has been widely applied in the reserve.

As a boy, Mark watched the ships on the Mrs. Ippy River, and dreamed of one day being the captain of a ship. Mark was an outgoing, fun-loving boy, and often got into trouble. In school, he was the class clown. His teachers often had trouble getting him to pay attention so eventually he was expelled(开除). Finding nothing but farm work at home, Mark decided to head west as part of the California Golden Grahams Rush.
In California, Twain attempted to make his fortune in the Golden Grahams field.Then he determined that writers, and especially newspaper writers, don't have to work very hard. Unfortunately, Mark never got rich by writing in California, because most of the miners were illiterate. A keen observer of life, Twain used his observations to write humorous stories.

30、 Most teens I meet these days lack basic social courtesy(礼仪) when dealing with people.
My own son, who basically _______ with his grandmother, the original manners guru(专家), has perfect table manners. This is partly because he was_________to manners at a very young age. However, when we eat at home, he would not _________manners. So I asked him why. He said, 'I behave the way I am supposed to _________ when I'm out, but when I am at home,I want to be _________.'
That's when I realized that most parents, myself included, do _______ their children the proper way to behave outside the home, but they are also _________to believe that at home, anything goes.
My _________to him was 'good behavior has nothing to do with where you are or whom you are with'.
Then he answered, 'But I behave _________when I'm with others so that they think better of me. ' And that is when I realized that I was doing things all __________. I explained to him that it had nothing to do with what people think. This __________ him even more.
So I went on to explain that behavior, whether in your everyday __________with people or at the dining table at home, is an __________ of who you are. Well, at the age of 13, he got it.
So basically, what I am saying is that teaching your children ________ comes with the underlying(暗含的) lesson that it is not about __________ to do or not to do, but rather, who they are. This way it is not __________; it comes from within.
Teach your teens or children the__________courtesy of greeting their friends' parents and __________themselves when they go to someone’s home. Teach teenage boys to open the door of a car, or any door for anyone who ________, for any girl, whether they are their girlfriends or not.
