Fermat’s Last Theorem

Simon Singh

In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew whiles reading in his school library came across the world’s greatest mathematical problem: Fermat’s Last Theorem(定理). First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique. Through unbelievable determination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995. An unusual story of human effort over three centuries, Fermat’s Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike.

When a group of children politely stop a conversation with you, saying: “We have to go to work now,” you’re left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this is the already the twenty-first century and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the “work” they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.

Stage schools often act as agencies(代理機構(gòu)) to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name “stage school” are those few places where children attend full time, with a training for the theatre and a general education.

A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldn’t settle for(滿足) spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?

Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 to 80 days.

The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don’t make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.

1.People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children they’re talking to ______.

       A.a(chǎn)ttend a stage school                            B.a(chǎn)re going to the theatre

       C.have got some work to do                    D.love singing and dancing

2.In the writer’s opinion, a good stage school should ________.

       A.produce star performers

       B.help pupils improve their study skills

       C.train pupils in language and performing arts

       D.provide a general education and stage training

3.“Professional work” as used in the text means __________.

       A.ordinary school work                           B.only money-making performances

       C.stage performances in shows                D.a(chǎn)cting, singing or dancing after class

4.Which of the following best describes how the writer feels about stage schools?

       A.He thinks highly of what they have to offer.

       B.He favors an early start in the training of performing arts.

       C.He feels uncomfortable about children putting on night shows

       D.He doubts the standard of ordinary education they have reached.

Among various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.

Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to et up the troubles of other people’s lives.

Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.

Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.

Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewers are middle class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation.

1.Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are ____.

       A.more interesting                                  B.unusually popular

       C.more detailed                                       D.more formal

2.Though the social problem Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows ___________.

       A.remain interested in them                      B.a(chǎn)re ready to face up to them

       C.remain cold to them                             D.a(chǎn)re willing to get away from them

3.Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?

       A.A new type of robot                             B.Nation hatred

       C.Family income planning.                       D.Street accident

4.We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows ____________.

       A.have become the only ones of its kind

       B.exploit the weaknesses in human nature

       C.a(chǎn)ppear at different times of the day

       D.a(chǎn)ttract different people
