One afternoon some boys made a lot of noise in class. The teacher got very angry. He 1 them in the class after school. He told them to add all the 2 from one to one hundred together.
The boys took out their exercise books. All of them began to 3 the numbers down except one boy. He was new in the school. He looked out of the window for a few 4 . Then he wrote a number in his exercise-book and put up his 5 .
“May I go home, sir?” he asked. “I know the 6 now.”
The teacher and the other boys were very surprised.
“ 7 it here,” said the teacher.
The next morning, the teacher asked the boy, “How did you find the answer so quickly?”
“Well, sir,” he said. “I didn't want to stay here 8 . So I tried my best to find the answer quickly. Soon I found it. You see, if you add one hundred to one, you get one hundred and one, and ninety-nine and two is one hundred and one, ninety-eight and three is one hundred and one too, and when you 9 fifty-one and fifty, you have one hundred and one fifty times. That is five thousand and fifty.”
After this, when the teacher gave the class exercises to do, he gave this boy 10 exercises. The boy's name was Karl F. Gauss. When he grew up, he became a great scientist.

Italian
“noodles”are different from Chinese noodles. Italian pasta(面)comes in many shapes(形状), not just long strands(根). Italian people make pasta look like shells(壳), bows and many other shapes to hold sauces(酱汁)better. Pasta also comes in different colours. It can be red, green or black, with vegetables or eggs in it.Sauce is important in making pasta. Some say it's the sauce that makes Italian pasta special. People use not only pork or vegetables, as you do with Chinese noodles, but also cream, olives
(橄榄)and seafood! It is said that there are more than 500 kinds of Italian pasta. But if you add different sauces the number could be more than 1,000.You cook Chinese noodles and Italian pasta, except
(除了)that you let the water go before mixing(混合)the pasta with sauce. If you're not sure whether pasta is done, just throw a piece at the wall. If it sticks(粘), it's time to prepare plates!根据短文内容,判断句子的正误,正确的写“

Sugar—free beets(甜菜)that still taste sweet, tastier tomatoes and brighter-colored fruits and vegetables that stay ripe(熟的)longer are all foods that are being grown now. How can they
carry traits, such as being tastier, brighter, and riper? They are genetically engineered.
Genetic engineering(基因工程)is like making a change in a recipe. For example, when you make cakes, you mix together all of the usual ingredients. If you add an extra ingredient, like salt, the cakes will taste differently.
Genes are ingredients in the recipe for life. They carry the traits of living things. Your genes dictate what color hair and eyes you’ll have, how tall you’ll be, as well as many other traits. Genes carry traits for plants, too. By adding genes to a plant, you can sometimes create new traits. For example, adding a certain gene to a potato plant can make the potato plant distasteful to bugs(虫子). This makes some farmers happy because they don’t have to use chemicals to keep bugs away from their plants.
It sounds great, but some people are opposed to the idea of food that is genetically engineered. Ronnie Cummins, from the Campaign for Food Safety, is against it. He says that one of the major concerns is allergies(过敏). Supermarkets don’t always label foods that are genetically engineered. A customer could unknowingly buy food that has an added gene from another plant that he or she is allergic to. It could be dangerous.
Gary Burton from Monsanto, a seed(种子)company that engineers food, disagrees. He says his company tests for allergies. Burton believes that genetic engineering is a valuable tool for making better food. The technology can help farmers use less insecticide(杀虫剂)and grow healthier crops. Burton thinks there are many advantages.
But Cummins says that we just don’t know what will happen in the future if we keep adding genes to foods. We could mistakenly create a monster.
People have different opinions about genetic engineering. One side supports it and thinks it will only help us. The other side is opposed to playing with nature and fears health risks. Which side do you think is right?
