(A)

　　Henry was an office worker in a big city. He worked very hard and enjoyed traveling in his holidays.

　　He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at West Hill Farm. Good food. Fresh air. Horse riding. Walking. Fishing. Cheap and interesting.”

　　“This sounds a good idea,” he thought. “I’ll spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They’ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.”

　　He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July, he left for West Hill Farm.

　　But four days later, he returned home.

　　“What was wrong with West Hill Farm?” his best friend, Ed, asked him. “Didn’t you enjoy country life?”

　　“Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was another problem.”

　　“Oh. What?”

　　“Well,” he said, “the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”

　　“What’s wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best.”

　　“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.”

　　“Lucky you!”

　　“You don’t understand,” Henry said. “on the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”

　　People often say, “Children can’t do math problem, it’s because parents can’t do their children’s homework.” Here’s an example to show what I mean.

　　The other day my daughter brought home her math homework. “I have to subtract (减) 179 from 202,” she said.

　　“It’s quite easy,” I said. “You put the 202 over the 179.”

　　“But we need a 10 here. Where is the 10?”

　　“I don’t know where the 10 is. Let’s just subtract 179 from 202. Nine from two is three. You carry one and add it to seven. Eight from zero is two. The answer is 23.”

　　“We can’t do it that way. We have to use the 10.”

　　“Well, I’m going to call your teacher to see how she subtracts 179 from 202.”

　　Over the telephone, I said that I was having a bit of trouble with the homework she had given to my daughter. The teacher said, “In the right-hand column (栏) we have units of one. The two in that column counts for two ones. The zero in the center counts for zero tens. The two in the left-hand column counts for hundreds. Are you clear?” But I didn’t think I was clear.

　　I hung up and found my way to the medicine box. My head was now hurting. I started putting pills of medicine into my mouth. “How many did you take?” my wife asked. “I took one and then I took another…I know one and one was two, but don’t ask me what it is now.”
