People often say, Children cant do math problem, its because parents cant do their childrens homework. Heres an example to show what I mean.
The other day my daughter brought home her math homework. I have to subtract (减) 179 from 202, she said.
Its quite easy, I said. You put the 202 over the 179.
But we need a 10 here. Where is the 10?
I dont know where the 10 is. Lets just subtract 179 from 202. Nine from two is three. You carry one and add it to seven. Eight from zero is two. The answer is 23.
We cant do it that way. We have to use the 10.
Well, Im going to call your teacher to see how she subtracts 179 from 202.
Over the telephone, I said that I was having a bit of trouble with the homework she had given to my daughter. The teacher said, In the right-hand column (栏) we have units of one. The two in that column counts for two ones. The zero in the center counts for zero tens. The two in the left-hand column counts for hundreds. Are you clear? But I didnt think I was clear.
I hung up and found my way to the medicine box. My head was now hurting. I started putting pills of medicine into my mouth. How many did you take? my wife asked. I took one and then I took anotherI know one and one was two, but dont ask me what it is now.

【答案与解析】
作者向我们讲述了很多人都可能遇到的一个问题:父母往往回答不上来小孩子问的一些非常简单的数学问题。文中作者的女儿向他询问怎样计算二百零二减去一百七十九这道题。结果,他的女儿不但弄不懂他的解释,而且他还无法解释清楚女儿提出的问题。他只好向女儿的老师求助,而自己被老师的解释搞得天昏脑胀
1.D 细读第二段,再联系父女俩的谈话即可得出答案。
2.B 根据but I didnt think I was clear.以及I took one and then I took anotherI know one and one was two, but dont ask me what it is now.可知B项是错误的。
3.A 根据短文内容, 那位老师所说的她的意思是说个位上的数字是几就表示几个一,当然应是小于1的数。
4.D 由My head was now hurting.这句话,可知父亲听了老师的解释后没有生气、焦虑或悲伤,而是头昏脑胀,疲惫之至。
5.C 选项A是不现实的,而选项C、D更是荒诞离奇。体会一下文末一段父亲的举动,就可以想起他是一种什么样的心情。
