Fifty­three years ago Barbie Millicent Roberts first appeared in the world of toys.Since then，Barbie doll，as everyone called her，has become the most successful toy doll in history.Her parent，the Mattel Company，said that 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.

However，Barbie is facing some trouble at present.There are many similar dolls on the market in competition with her.Another doll named Bratz，for example，came to life thirteen years ago.She looks more like today's pop stars with heavy makeup(浓妆) and miniskirts.And her company offers more kinds of clothes too.

It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls.“For younger girls，playing with a Barbie is much fun.But when you get older，you want something smarter and more modern，”says Vera Shepherd，a shop assistant in a New York toy store.

It is good news that on the international market，Barbie is still No.1.Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years，sales in other countries are still going up.In January 2009，Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai，where girls can shop，eat，drink or even become fashion_designers for their own Barbies.

Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie's 53rd birthday.Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new dresses for Barbie.How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls?It is hard to say，but 53 is surely not the age to retire(退休).

Cause and effect is one way to explain things that happen around us.Many things happen because something caused or influenced them to happen.Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect.It may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning (推理的) skills.Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see.

For example，you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket.This is the effect.To look for a cause，think to yourself，“What would make someone put on a heavy jacket?”Maybe the person is going outside into very cold weather.Maybe the person works in the penguin pen (企鹅圈养地) at Sea World.Maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold.All of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.

Now，think about a second example.The effect is a boy named Abi has to go to the head teacher's office.What are the possible causes?Maybe he bullied (欺负) another student.Maybe he is just being picked up early.Maybe he is being given a prize!

Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect.Cait，13，was trying to fall asleep when her 8­year­old brother，Doug，came into her room.He looked around a bit，but seemed really out of it.Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the hall light for quite a while.Little brothers can be very strange，but this was really much too strange.Cait didn't know what to do.Just then，Cait's father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking.What's the cause and effect，could you tell?

Ask any student which subject he or she hates most.9 out of 10 students will answer “math”.No matter which country you visit，no matter which grade you are in，you may not learn art，geography，chemistry or Chinese，but you always learn math.Why is this so?How come so many students hate math，and yet cannot avoid learning it in school?

Jenny Sanders，a high school student in California，asks，“What good do we get from learning math?We can use computers to compute numbers，and we can use computers to store information.I think learning math at school is a waste of time.”

However，there is much more to math than just learning to add and subtract(减) numbers.In fact，math is not so much about calculation (计算) as it is about learning to think logically (逻辑地) and solving problems.Of course，Jenny was right that we can use computers to do calculations，but how would we even know how to use the computer if we can't think logically?In short，computers are only tools when solving problems.

For example，imagine you are a cook and must serve dinner to 100 guests.How should you divide your resources so that you can get the job done most efficiently (高效地)?In situations like this，the ability to think logically will get you to a reasonable answer and solve your problem.

21.According to the passage，which subject do students always learn in different grades at school?
