     Jane Scott is fourteen and the year before last she began to study in a middle school. She likes dancing

and singing and spends a lot of time on them. But she hates math and does not work hard at it. She thinks

it difficult to learn math. She falls behind (落后) her classmates and once failed the math exam. She decides

to give it up. Her father is angry with her when he knows about it.

      It was Sunday. Mr. Scott gave a call to his sister who teaches math in another school. He hoped she

would come and tell his daughter how to learn math. The woman came quickly and said, "You're a clever

girl, Jane, I'm sure you'll soon do well in math if you work hard at it."

      "I'm afraid I can't, Aunt." said Jane."Girls can't be good at math." "I don't think so." said the woman.

"I was good at it when I was a girl. You must do more exercises and practise a math problem again and

again until you master (掌握) it. Remember: Practice makes perfect (熟能生巧). Well, here's a math

problem. Think about it and practice it again and again, then you'll work it out."

      "OK," said the girl, "Let me try."

     About an hour later, Jane took the exercise book to her aunt and said, "I've done the problem ten times."

      "Well done!" her aunt said happily, "What result did you get?"

      "Ten answers."
