    Most middle school students find it boring to learn math.But students in Yat Sen Middle School in New York, US, don't think so.Why? Because they are in the School of One Program, which asks students to work on their own or in small groups on computers to have math lessons.

    "The program gives the students a new learning style.No traditional classroom can compare with it.We give each lesson according to the students' interests and their strong and weak points，" said Joel I．Klein, the school's head teacher."We're looking for a way that interests children."

    Students enjoy these math lessons, especially the lessons with video games.They must find out the answers to math problems to get through the game.One of the games is Dimension M．As students move through mazes(迷宫) with their keyboards, some questions come up.

    Caleb Deng had to answer the question: What is 5＋(6×3)? He calculated on paper quickly because there was just one minute left to play.

    "I was right，" said Deng，14, as he ended the game with a high score(高分)．"This really makes math lessons more exciting, since we are fighting to learn better."

    Annie lived alone in Chicago. One day, she fell down in her bedroom and broke her leg. So she tried to call her friend Lisa. But she dialled(拨) a wrong number. The call reached Taylor, an 18-year-old girl. She was a college student and she lived hundreds of miles away from Chicago.

    At that time Taylor was reading in bed. She thought it was somebody playing a joke. When she was going to hang up the phone, she heard a woman saying "Help! Help!" From it Taylor thought something bad must have happened to the woman. After she got the woman's name and address, Taylor called 911 at once. Then she tried to make Annie feel comfortable. She spoke to Annie on the phone till the doctors arrived at Annie's house. At last Annie was taken to the hospital in time.

    As soon as Annie felt better, she wrote a letter to Taylor to thank her.

Women usually a lot of time the clothes in the mall.

    Kevin is a cute boy. One day, his mother asks him to buy some food. He buys six eggs, five bananas, four apples, three oranges, two doughnuts (甜甜圈) and some biscuits in the shop. But on the way home, Kevin meets some animals and they want some of the food in his bag.

    When he comes out of the shop, he first meets a bear. "I want those eggs," says the bear. "If I throw an egg up in the air, I don't think you can get it," says Kevin. In this way, he saves all but one broken (破碎的) egg. And then he meets other animals. A monkey wants the bananas; a giraffe wants the apples; a duck wants the oranges; a pig wants the doughnuts, and an elephant wants the biscuits. Kevin thinks of some other ways to keep his food in the bag safe. When he gets home with all the food, his mother is happy.

    In 1940s，the first computers were bigger than cars. Now computers (become) smaller and better. Some computers are tiny. We may be (aware) of them. There is probably one inside your TV or washing machine. We depend  computers more than we realize.

    We can use computers to calculate. They can calculate at a (fast) speed than we can and almost never give wrong answers. We can also type and draw things with (they). In addition, computers can do important jobs like (operate) railways, flying planes and spaceships.

    But they are not cleverer than people, because humans can produce new ideas. , one day computers may be able a better job than human beings. They may change our (life), but will they make them better?
