Some boys and girls think math is difficult. But in fact, it isn’t so difficult to learn (学习) math well. Here is what you can do.

Listen well in class. The math teacher knows so much. When you listen well, you can know much, too. So be a careful (认真的) student in class and listen well.

Ask your classmate for help. Your math teacher isn’t always with you. When you find a math problem is too difficult and you can’t work it out, please ask your classmate after class. A good classmate is a good friend. He or she must be happy to help you.

Practice (练习) it every day. Do you want to be good at math? It takes time. You can’t learn it well in a day. So practice it every day and then you’ll find it so easy.

Math is a useful subject. Let’s do our best to learn it well.

There are five people in my family—my grandmother, my parents, my brother Tom and I.

We always have a birthday party for everyone. Mom is the first to have a birthday party. It is on January.     40     Because we help her with it. And we usually have a big dinner.

    41     Her birthday is on May 20th. We have a party in the yard (院子). My grandma is seventy-two years old this year. She has a healthy lifestyle (生活方式).     42     Dad’s and Tom’s birthdays are both on July 15th.     43     So they have the party together. How interesting!

My family also eat out to celebrate (庆祝) our birthday. My birthday is in November, so my party is the last one.     44     I can wear beautiful clothes on that day and get many gifts (礼物) from them. It’s fun.

Rick is a baker (面包师). He is a kind man. He     45     (make) birthday cakes in a shop. His cakes are big and nice,     46     many people buy his cakes. He makes     47     (friend) with his customers (顾客). They all like him very much.

One evening, it’s time     48     (go) home. Rick closes (关) the shop, and he is going home, but many of     49     (he) old customers come in. Rick says to     50     (they), “I am sorry. It is too late (晚的) today. If you need cakes, please come tomorrow.”

“ Oh, Rick! We don’t come here     51     (buy) cakes today.” They all smile at Rick. One of them takes out a nice cake and     52     (say) to him, “Happy birthday, Rick! You make so many big and nice cakes for us. This birthday cake is     53     you, Rick.”

“ Yes, today is my birthday!” Rick says. Rick is very happy. He     54     (know) it’s not just a cake. It’s love from his friends.
