Sally was fourteen. She studied in a middle school. She liked dancing and singing and spent a lot of
time on them. But she hated math and even decided to give it up.Her father was anxious (焦虑) about it.
     It was Sunday. ①Sally's father called to his sister who taught math in another school. He hoped she
would come and tell his daughter how to learn math.The woman came and said, "You are a clever girl,
Sally. I'm sure you will soon learn math well if you do your best."
     "I'm afraid I can't, Aunt," said Sally. ②"Girls can't be good at math."
     "I don't think so," said the woman. "I was good at it when I was a girl. You must do more exercises
and try different ways to practice ③ ______ (do) math problems until you work them out or at least
understand them better. Here is a math problem. ④Please think it over and see if you can work it out."
     "OK." said the girl. "Let me try."
     About an hour later Sally took the exercise book to her aunt and said, "I've tried several times and
worked out the problem at last!"
     "Well done!" her aunt looked at her answer and said happily, "Now you see, math is not as difficult
as you thought."

                                                      Memories about Teachers
     Recently we made a survey (调查) and asked a large number of people to tell us about their teachers. Here is what they remembered about their teachers: 
     "What teachers do I remember? Well, I remember my first teacher. She was so kind and pretty, and she told
us many interesting stories." 
     "I remember an English teacher-he always had coloured socks: red, green, even orange." 
     "I remember a math teacher. She was always dressed very well. I couldn't stop looking at her. I wanted to be like her."
     "Our chemistry teacher. He was so strict. We were afraid of him. I don't think he liked us." 
     "The physics teacher was so boring. He could make us fall asleep very quickly." 
     "One year we had a really good Chinese language teacher. He was very patient and told very funny stories.
He was popular with all the class. We always worked hard for him. We are his friends." 
     "The P.E. teacher always said I was stupid. I thought teachers should give us encouragement. I am not
interested in sports because of him."
     "I had one history teacher who always wore clothes of the same colour. In three years 1 never saw him
change." 
     "I remember two teachers well. One was my music teacher who was very active, and usually had a loud
voice. The other was my computer teacher, who was very serious, but he really helped me when I had problems
at any time."
