Circles can be found everywhere in the natural world, but with no exact way to measure (测量) thc. They are very mysterious (神秘的) and might never be completely understood. When you take the distance around a circle and divide it by the distance across a circle, you will always get Pi. While Pi is about 3. 14 when round ed, it is endlessly long. With the help of computers, mathematicians (数学家) have been able to work Pi out to over a trillion decimal places (小数点后万亿位). This makes Pi mysterious, even to the most famous mathematicians.

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14, since the way we write this date, 3/14, looks just like Pi when rounded. In 2009, U.S. Congress voted to formally make March 14 Pi Day. Certain parts of the world — places where March 14 is written as 14/3 — will instead celebrate Pi Approximation Day which takes place on July 22nd because of the division (除法) result of 22/7.

Pi has appeared in movies, comics, music, and more. "In modern movies, any time the filmmaker wants to create a sense of mystery, the  symbol Pi is used," says Blatner. People also love working to remember the digits ( 数 位 ) of Pi and competing against  others to  see who can remember most. The Guinness World Record for remembering the most digits  of Pi is  held by  Lu  Chao  of China, who successfully remembered Pi to nearly 67,000 decimal places.

Above all, Pi Day is about having fun with the number, according to Blatner. People will celebrate Pi Day by eating pie and throwing pie, and with fun Pi-related games. Princeton, New Jersey holds a series of Pi-related festivities. Events this year include a surprise birthday party for Albert Einstein whose birthday also falls on March 14, and a "Walk a Pi Event" where participants will walk 3. 14 miles together. Just like the number itself, the possibilities for Pi Day are truly endless.

阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

 What does taking the train mean to you? Perhaps it's just a way of getting to {#blank#}1{#/blank#}( you) destination(目的地). In fact, the train itself can be part of the fun.

 On March 28, China's {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(one) panda- themed tourist train left Chengdu in Sichuan for Zunyi in Guizhou. It soon became the talk of China with its special design (设计) and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}( comfort) service. It's one of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} most interesting trains in China.

 Its inside and outside are decorated with giant panda {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(picture). Attendants(乘务员) carry panda toys and passengers can try panda- shaped food, as well as Sichuan snacks.{#blank#}6{#/blank#} there are many kinds of rooms to have fun, some people call it a" mobile star hotel". Passengers can take showers and use its 5G network as well. This excellent service is one thing that has {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(excite) travelers. And train travel fascinates people for other reasons.

 In the fast- paced times we live in, train travel is a good way {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(slow) down. It gives you time and space to read, sleep, chat with friends, or {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(simple) do nothing but watch the changing views outside. Train travel is also full {#blank#}10{#/blank#} surprises. You might meet new people and become friends with them.

Studying too much?

Most people work or study from Monday to Friday. The weekend is usually a time of rest. But today's Chinese teenagers can hardly rest during the weekends. 

According to a survey, 24% of the Grade 8 students in Beijing have classes at the weekend. Over 40% of the middle school students have less than eight hours' sleep each night because of study. 

And this doesn't happen only in Beijing. Ji Chunying is a Grade 9 student in Guangzhou. The 14-year-old girl has to get up at 6:45am on Saturday. Then she has classes all the day. On Sunday, she goes to extra(额外)classes for math and physics. But Ji doesn't complain. She says her classmates all work very hard. 

Finding time to have fun

Zhao Ming, 13, is from Zhenjiang, Guangdong. Zhao's weekend is less busy. But he still spends Saturday in school. On Sunday, after finishing homework, he plays basketball. "I feel happy because I still have time to do the things I like. " he said. Some students are much luckier. Ding Yi, a grade 8 student from Laiwu, Shandong, is one of them. During the weekend, Ding usually gets up at 8:00a. m. . Then she spends some time doing homework. After that she is free to go shopping or watch TV. "My teacher says I don't need to push myself too much. " Learning well at school is enough, " Ding said. "I feel pretty lucky. "
