Mrs.
Williams loved flowers and had a small but beautiful garden. In the summer, her
roses were always the best in her street. One summer afternoon her bell rang,
and when she went to the front door, she saw a small boy outside. He was about seven
years old, and was holding a big bunch of beautiful roses in his hand.
‘ I am selling roses, ‘ he said. Do
you want any? They are quite cheap. One shilling for a big bunch. They are
fresh. I picked them this afternoon.’
‘ My boy,’ Mrs. Williams answered, ‘
I pick roses whenever I want, and don’t
pay anything for them, because for them,
because I have lots in my garden.’
‘ Oh, no, you haven’t,’ said the
small boy. ‘There aren't any roses in your garden – because they are here in my
hand ! ‘

Pocket
calculators are as cheap to buy as a pair of shoes, and as essential to
thousands of school children as a pencil and eraser. Schools have tried to
limit their use by allowing them in science classes, to save time, but by not
allowing them to be used in math clasesses. However when children do their homework, a pocket calculator is a must. Nowadays in the U.S. calculators can
be used in school examination.
Many parents feel that their children are not being given a basic understanding of facts of figures. “The
process of addition, division, subtraction, and multification is a part of
training in logic which is important for every child. It teaches them to take
the series of steps necessarry in coming
to a conclusion. Says a local math teacher. “with a calculator, the child can
reach the right answer but have no idea at all how he got there.”
“of course the children understand the principle behind what they do
on the calculator. It makes no different to the mental processes they go
through, except to make them far quicker, and less boring.”
“it’s far easier to teach them to
graps the idea of division and multiplication by making them understand which
button they need to push than to talk about apples being cut into pieces”, said
another teacher, who uses the calculators to keep the interest of his class.
9. What is the topic of the
passage....
a. it is easy to
use a calculator
b. prohibition of
using a calculator
c. every student
needs a calculator

is a tool to get the right answer
