For the first time in Hong Kong's history，an entertainer has been written into middle school textbooks. He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong. Yes，he is Chow Yun fat．

The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbook．Using his experience，students can learn to make the most of their time and to get every opportunity to succeed．

On hearing about this，Chow said happily，“I really hope that my experiences can make young people understand that one should not be afraid of difficulties and setbacks（挫折），for they are the only way to success．”

Indeed，Chow has travelled a long and difficult path to reach his success．In 1955，he was born into a poor family in Hong Kong. When he was 17，he had to leave school．He worked in a number of jobs—as a postman，camera salesman and taxi driver. These experiences paved the way for him to play all kinds of roles later in life．

Chow broke into the film industry in the late 1970s. He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and films including “Shanghai Bund”（《上海灘》） and “A Better Tomorrow”． Since 1985， he has won many awards including Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards .

In 1995, he went to Hollywood． Although he was already in his 40s, he had to learn English．He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds. His film， “Crouching Tiger，Hidden Dragon”，began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world．In 1998，the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12 as “Chow Yun fat Day．”

Ten-year-old Lena Draper decided to reach out to the Marion Police Department on Facebook after getting stuck on the maths questions. Instead of ignoring her request, Ohio officer Lieutenant B. J. Gruber did his best to lend a hand.

Lena informed the policeman that she was stuck on the problem(8+29)×15. He quickly responded: ”Do the numbers in the parentheses(括號) first so in fact it would be 37×15.”

After settling the first question, Lieutenant Gruber was given a more difficult task. Lena asked him for the answer to (90+27)+(29+15)×2. The confident officer responded with what he believed to be the correct answer, advising: ”Take the answer from the first parentheses plus the answer from the second parentheses and multiply that answer by two. Work left to right doing the work in parentheses first.”

But embarrassingly, Facebook users were quick to notice that his maths solving didn’t quite add up. To solve the problem, you must actually add the numbers in the second parentheses and multiply the answer by two, before adding the numbers in the first set of brackets.

Lena’s mum Molly said, ”I didn’t believe her at first. I thought it was pretty funny. I was happy, but not surprised that they responded so quickly. They are wonderful with their communication with the community.”

After Lieutenant Gruber was told about the mistake, he joked: “Hoping it is truly the thought that counts since obviously I can’t! Especially since the answer was wrong, it was very nice for Molly to recognize our attempt to help her daughter with some maths homework.”

It’s not the first time that adults have been left feeling trapped by a maths assignment aimed at kids.

1.What is the text mainly about?

A. A new job is added to the police

B. A new approach to maths problem-solving

C. The Marion Police Department’s Facebook page

D. A policeman helps a girl with her maths problems

2.According to the policeman, the result of the second problem is .

A. 205 B. 322

C. 456 D. 555

3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Some adults are too stupid to help kids with their homework

B. Some homework for children is not as easy as it appears

C. It is stupid for Lieutenant Gruber to make the mistake

D. Kids often ask the police to help them with their homework

The brain is a remarkable part.It's responsible for thoughts and feelings.Now a new study finds that going through tough times as a kid also can have an impact.The adult brains of people who lived through lots of stress before the age of six—and then became depressed or anxious as teenagers—were different compared with adults who had an easier childhood.It seems that teens changed the shape of their brains by internalizing (使內在化) the stresses experienced years earlier.

Researchers already knew that the shape and size of a child's brain can change in response to lots of stress.They also knew that adults were more likely to be depressed if，as kids，they'd lived in poverty.Some studies showed that these depressed adults had unusual changes in their brain shape.But no one had tested if the early stress and later brain changes were linked.

Scientists in England studied almost 500 boys from birth until the ages of 18 to 21.Sarah Jensen is one of the new study's authors.Almost all of the boys her team studied experienced some hard times as kids.And，she concludes，“This is not necessarily harmful.”To some extent，that's just life.What can be dangerous，she says，is when children experience too many forms of difficulties.Her team's new data suggest that the tougher the childhood，the stronger the impact on the brain might be.

What's happening in the world around us relates to how we feel.Her team linked more childhood stress to more depression.Still，she notes，it's possible that if you find support for anxiety or depression，you might be able to prevent the changes seen here.“If you can change the environment，you can change the course of things，”Sarah says.So，she recommends，if teens develop anxiety or depression，it's good to ask for psychological doctors to give advice.

1.When people had a hard childhood， ．

A. they will have a brave attitude to life

B. their way of thinking may be strange

C. they will be good at dealing with stress

D. the shape of their brain may be changed

2.What is the breakthrough of the new research?

A. The size of the brain can change.

B. The brain can be influenced by stress.

C. Poverty can affect the brain's shape in future.

D. Changes in brain are connected with earlier hardship.

3.It's a problem when children ．

A. had a lonely childhood

B. led a peaceful childhood

C. got different kinds of hardship

D. experienced limited hard times

4.For teenagers with anxiety，Sarah suggests .

A. they adapt to their life

B. they seek professional help

C. they talk to friends or relatives

D. they become confident and optimistic
