Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldnt work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday.

For example, if your address is 73 Lemon Street, you would write down 73. Next, double(翻一倍) it. In other words, multiply(乘) it by two. Then, add five to this doubled number. For example, if your address was 73and you doubled it, you would get 146. Then, if you added five, youd get 151. So, to repeat the first three steps, write down your house number, double it, and add five. Fourth, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, if you multiply 151 by 50, youll get 7550. The fifth step is to add your age to this total. For example, if youre 26years old, you should add 26 to this total. In our example here, the result would be 7550 plus 26, youll get 7576. Sixth, you have to add the number of days in a year, which is 365. In our example here, 365 added to 7576 is 7941. The seventh and final step is this: subtract(减) 615 from the number that you 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 is the address and the last part of the number is the age of the person. That is, 73is the address that we started with, and 26is the age that we used. If you follow these seven steps with any address and the age of any person. You will get the same result. 1. According to the trick, what number can you get if you are 16 years old and your house number is 85？A. 1685B. 8516C. 8165D. 16582. How can your age number appear at the last part of the result?A. Its really a trick. B. By taking all the steps except Step1 and Step 2. C. By taking Step 6and Step 7.D. By taking all the steps. 3. Whats the secret of the trick? A. Its impossible to know. B. By taking Step 2 and Step 4, we get the formula(公式)：your address number 250. C. By taking all the steps except 1 and 2, we get the formula: 550+your age number+365615=your age number. D. Both B and C. 4. Is it possible for us to design another program of getting the same result？A. No, its impossible to find out another way. B. No problem. C. I m not sure. D. Its nothing but a trick. 【答案与解析】 本文主要介绍一个数学的小把戏。1. B。推断题。由文章的倒数第2段，“The first part”我们可以得出这条算术的答案：共有四位数字，前两位是地址的号码，后两位是年龄的数字，所以答案是B。2. D。推断题。只有将步骤全部算完才可以得出答案，因此选D。3.
