“We expected our first child to be perfect.” Most parents have thought so.

I know that’s what I 11 of our oldest son, Joe. He would be perfect. Joe would sail through 12 from learning ABCs to being awarded a Ph.D.

Joe, 13 , had other ideas.

He was always a 14 kid. He wasn’t the kind of boy who threw 15 at passing cars on a freezing winter day or who dropped water balloons on the mailman during the heat of August.

But he wasn’t perfect, especially when it came to that nice little 16 that I had about Joe’s sailing through school. From the day Joe started kindergarten he struggled — with scissors and handwriting and math. Always math. He passed each grade with great 17 , never at the top of his class.

How I 18 friends who had children with the “math gene”. A mom told me her daughter was doing high school algebra(代数) while in the sixth grade. Another mom said her son had just taken first ___19____ in the district’s annual Math Challenge.

After hearing these stories, I would look at Joe and 20 : Why didn’t we raise a mathematical talent? How is he ever going to get into 21 if he does not get better at math? Needless to say, my motherly 22 never really amounted too much. Does it ever? Moms tend to worry and worry, while whatever they’re worrying about usually 23 on its own.

During high school, Joe slowly 24 at math. He got through algebra I & II, and geometry(几何), our state requirements for math. I felt greatly 25 at his little achievement. Then he announced that he’d take pre-calculus (微积分) in his last year of high school, which 26 me a lot.

“Why?” I questioned.

“Because I need to keep my skills up”, he explained. “I 27 math, but I need to take it.”

“For college,” he added. “I want to do really well in college, Mom. I know it will be 28 but I think it’s important that I try my best.”

My oldest son wasn’t perfect. He wasn’t a math talent, either. But he knew what was important: he was focusing on his 29 while I was worrying over his past. And that, to me, is even better than being 30 .

A

Which tablet(平板) computer should YOU be buying: There’s a style to suit everyone.

Best for young children

LeapPad Explorer 2, ￡68?

Aimed at children between three and nine (though a nine-year -old might find it a little simple), it comes in pink or blue and with five built-in education games (you can buy more). Besides, the LeapPad does not allow access to the internet — so it is impossible for your child to stumble across anything inappropriate.

Pros: The education games are well- designed, the built-in video camera is a fun way to play at being a film director.

Cons: Some of the games are shockingly expensive. And the power adaptor is not included.

Best for teenagers

iPad 4th generation, ￡399-￡659?

The iPad is still the market leader, and for good reason. If the teenager in your house enjoys playing computer games, the latest offering from Apple is the one to choose.

Pros: No other tablet can compete with the near one million ‘apps’ (the name Apple created for specially-designed downloadable programs) available for the iPad.?Simple to use, even for those who usually struggle with technology.

Cons: Considerably more expensive than most competitors.?



Best for working parents

Microsoft Surface, ￡399-￡559

Tablets are brilliant for leisure — but what if you want to do a bit of work? No tablet can yet compete with?a full-size laptop computer, but?this is the only tablet? that allows you to use Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint (they are all pre-installed and included in the price) and you? can buy a pretty lovely mini-keyboard for typing letters and emails, which also doubles up as the cover.

Pros: The Surface is good for watching movies — a bonus when stuck in the airport on a business trip — and surfing the internet.

Con: The keyboard is an expensive add-on — costing up to ￡109. It might be cheaper to buy a laptop (though a tablet is much smaller and lighter).

Best for bookworms

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, ￡109

Nearly all tablets let you download books. It's a great way to take a mountainous pile of hardbacks on holiday without stuffing your suitcase.?

But most tablets have a shiny screen — which can be very distracting (分心) when you're trying to read. The Paperwhite is different: its matt screen and crisp black lettering imitate the look of words on paper brilliantly. And yet you can still read the words in the dark.

Pros: Easy on the eye, excellent battery life, 180,000 free books (if you subscribe to the Amazon Prime customer loyalty service) plus hundreds of thousands more to buy.

Cons: No TV, films, games, internet or camera.?





31.?The underlined phrase “stumble across” most probably means “_________”.

A. quarrel with B. meet with C. compare with D. compete with

32. Which of the following about Surface is TRUE?

A. You have to pay extra to install Microsoft Word.

B. The keyboard can serve as a cover.

C. The keyboard will not add to the cost of the tablet computer

D. You cannot watch movies or surf the internet with it.

33. If you are a game lover, which tablet is least likely to be your choice?

A. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. B. iPad 4th generation.

C. Microsoft Surface. D. LeapPad Explorer 2.

34. If you want to add something to your prepared PPT for a presentation at a meeting, which tablet is

most helpful?

A. LeapPad Explorer 2. B. iPad 4th generation.

C. Microsoft Surface. D. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite.

Do you enjoy street performers? The tradition of wandering entertainers goes back for almost a thousand years to the Middle Ages in Europe. Then they were called “troubadours”, but, today, most people call street performers “buskers”. Buskers are usually musicians, but some are actors, clowns, or jugglers. In Singapore, hundreds of street buskers from around the world participate in an annual festival. In other cities, you often come across buskers on busy shopping streets and near parks, but the most popular places are subway stations. Passengers listen to the musicians while they wait for underground trains. In exchange for a few minutes of entertainment, they give the busk
