符建辉 编者的话 放假了,紧张了一个学期的大脑终于可以放松一下了。我们无意在“减负”的大背景下给同学们布置什么暑假作业,只是考虑到同学们在这么长的暑假里玩久了可能会觉得腻,于是请出几位故事高手,给大家一边讲故事,pes of different lengths until you find aright one for your size(试试各种不同长度的绳子,直到你找到适合你身材的一个right one),据此可推出其中的one指的是“绳子”。
。文章的第2段最后两句告诉我们lf you jump alone,you will need ashort rope and it will be just enough for your height,由此可知,我们玩跳绳游戏以前,必须找到适合自己的绳子。
。我们可以在第3段找到Turning the rope freely and safely needs timing,这是与D项完全对应的。另外,文中说的是slowing enoush,而不是像A、B项所说的ss slowly as possible和as hi8h aS possible,故排除A和B。根据文章最后一段中的You must learn when to stop for a rest before you jumpagain可将C项排除。

It is possible to do many simple tricks with numbers. Here is one trick. Ithas seven steps.
First, write down your house number. For example, if your address is 73Lemon Street, you write down 73.
Next, double it. In other words, multiply(乘) it by two. Then, add five tothis doubled number. For example, if your address was 73 and you doubled it,you would get 146. Then, if you added it to five, you'd get 151.
Now repeat the first three steps, write down your house number, double it,and add it to five.
Fourth, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, if you multiply151 by 50, you'll get 7550.
The fifth step is to add your age to this total. For example, if you're 26years old, you should add 26 to this total. In our example here, the result is7550 plus 26, you'll get 7576.
Sixth, you have to add the number of days in a year, which is 365. Inour example here, 365 added to 7576 is 7941.
The seventh and final step is this: subtract (减) 615 from the number thatyou have. In our example, 7941 minus 615 is 7326.
The result here, 7-3-2-6, is the trick. The first part of the number isthe address and the last part of the number is the age of the person. That is,73 is the address that we started with, and 26 is the age that we used.
