A 33-year-old financial analyst in California recently quit his job to devote himself to an unpaid job teaching math on the Internet, and his lessons are reaching almost 100,000 people a month. Salman Khan’s voice is heard every day on the net --- by tens of thousands of students around the world who are hungry for help learning math. He has posted 1,200 lessons on YouTube ... lessons that appear on an electronic blackboard, which range from basic addition to advanced mathematics for science and finance. And they are free.
Khan lives in Silicon Valley, with his wife, a doctor, and their new baby. He got the idea for his “Khan Academy” four years ago, when he taught a young cousin how to convert kilograms to grams. With Khan’s help, the cousin got good at math, and Khan began a new career.
Now, Khan records his lessons himself, but he never goes on camera. “It feels like my voice in their head. You’re looking at it and it feels like someone’s over your shoulder talking in your ear, as opposed to someone at the blackboard, which is distant from you,” he said.
When Springfield High School in Palo Alto, California invited Khan to speak in person --- he immediately connected to the students there.
The idea of short lessons that can be played over and over again attracted high school senior Bridget Meaney. She says she had trouble with math in the seventh grade. “I think the teachers are good, but they can’t teach at a speed that’s perfect for everyone,” she said. “I like the idea of learning something in class but then going back and pressing pause or rewind and actually getting a deeper understanding of it.”
Originally, Khan kept his lessons short because of YouTube restrictions. Now, he thinks short is better. “Education researchers now tell me that 10 minutes is how long someone can have a high level of concentration. And anything beyond that and your brain switches off,” he said.
For Khan, teaching math, science, and finance is just the beginning. He says he’s ready to expand his YouTube site to include other subjects as well.
小题1:What gave Khan the idea of teaching math online?| A．His success in helping his cousin learn math. | | B．His discovery that many students found learning math difficult. | | C．A suggestion made to him at a local high school. | | D．His interest in Internet teaching. |
小题2:Why does Khan never go on camera?| A．He’s too shy to show his face on camera. | | B．It’s restricted by YouTube for education videos. | | C．He wants to keep distance from the viewers. | | D．He wants to create a more relaxed learning atmosphere. |
小题3:From the passage, we know that ________.| A．Khan travels to many schools to promote his lessons | | B．Khan plans to include more subjects in the future | | C．Khan gives live math lessons every day for free | | D．Khan set up the Khan Academy with his wife |
小题4:Why does Bridget Meaney like Khan’s lessons?| A．Khan teaches seventh grade math better than her teacher. | | B．The lessons can be watched repeatedly until fully understood. | | C．She can perfectly follow the pace of Khan’s teaching. | | D．She cannot concentrate when learning in class. |
小题5:What does Khan mean by “short is better” in the 6th paragraph?| A．Keeping the lessons short can ensure better concentration. | | B．YouTube recommends short lessons for its site. | | C．Short lessons encourage students to return to the website. | | D．Students enjoy short mathematics lessons more. |

The drug store was closing for the night and Alfred Higgins was about to go home when his new boss approached him.
“Empty your pockets please, Alfred,” Sam Carr demanded in a firm voice.
Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew he’d been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.
“I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.
“Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.
Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”
“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.
Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.
“He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.
Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”
The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.
Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”
In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.
His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.
This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.
小题1:Which of the following is true according to the passage?| A．It was the first time Alfred had stolen anything. | | B．Alfred tried to sound big to hide his fear. | | C．Mr. Carr set a trap to catch Alfred stealing. | | D．Mr. Carr had planned to forgive Alfred from the beginning. |
小题2: What does the underlined word “disarmed” probably mean?| A．annoyed | B．made less angry | | C．convinced | D．got over |
小题3:What was the mother’s attitude toward Alfred?| A．She felt disappointed with him. | | B．She was very strict with him. | | C．She was supportive of him. | | D．She was afraid of him. |
小题4:What impressed Alfred most about his mother at the drugstore was ________.| A．how angry she was | | B．that she didn’t cry | | C．that she was able to save him | | D．how effectively she handled Mr. Carr |
小题5: From the last paragraph, we know that Alfred ________.| A．was no longer a youth | | B．felt proud of his mother | | C．wanted his mother to be happy | | D．felt guilty and regretful for his deed |
