老师您好能否帮我讲解下下面这个文章考试时该如何读，我读完这种文章压根不知道在说什么，只知道在讲ocean basin形成机制的几种理论。No very satisfactory account of the mechanism that caused the formation of the ocean basins has yet been given. The traditional view supposes that the upper mantle of the earth behaves as a liquid when it is subjected to small forces for long periods and that differences in temperature under oceans and continents are sufficient to produce convection in the mantle of the earth with rising convection currents under the mid-ocean ridges and sinking currents under the continents. Theoretically, this convection would carry the continental plates along as though they were on a conveyor belt (conveyor belt: n. 传送带) and would provide the forces needed to produce the split that occurs along the ridge. This view may be correct: it has the advantage that the currents are driven by temperature differences that themselves depend on the position of the continents. Such a back-coupling, in which the position of the moving plate has an impact on the forces that move it, could produce complicated and varying motions. On the other hand, the theory is implausible because convection does not normally occur along lines, and it certainly does not occur along lines broken by frequent offsets (an abrupt bend in an object by which one part is turned aside out of line) or changes in direction, as the ridge is. Also it is difficult to see how the theory applies to the plate between the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the ridge in the Indian Ocean. This plate is growing on both sides, and since there is no intermediate trench, the two ridges must be moving apart. It would be odd if the rising convection currents kept exact pace with them. An alternative theory is that the sinking part of the plate, which is denser than the hotter surrounding mantle, pulls the rest of the plate after it. Again it is difficult to see how this applies to the ridge in the South Atlantic, where neither the African nor the American plate has a sinking part. Another possibility is that the sinking plate cools the neighboring mantle and produces convection currents that move the plates. This last theory is attractive because it gives some hope of explaining the enclosed seas, such as the Sea of Japan. These seas have a typical oceanic floor, except that the floor is overlaid by several kilometers of sediment. Their floors have probably been sinking for long periods. It seems possible that a sinking current of cooled mantle material on the upper side of the plate might be the cause of such deep basins. The enclosed seas are an important feature of the earth’s surface, and seriously require explanation because, in addition to the enclosed seas that are developing at present behind island arcs, there are a number of older ones of possibly similar origin, such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Black Sea, and perhaps the North Sea.

GMAT数学（博智教材）第62页：If X is equal to the sum of the even integers from 40 to 60, inclusive, and y is the number of even integers from 40 to 60, inclusive, what is the value of x+y? X=40+42+44......60=550 Y=(60-40)/2+1=11, 答案应该是561，为什么书后面的答案显示是560？

数学书61页36题，一个男的卖每条7块的领带和每件14元的衬衫。如果他总共卖了10件，110元，求卖了几条领带？ 我得小数，选项里没有。

DS：5个数中 median 小于 average ；另外7个数也median 小于 average，然后这12个数没有重复的，12个数放在一个数集里面，问是不是median 小于average？ 条件1：7个的average 小于 5个的average 条件2：7个的median 小于 5个的 median

DS：一个三位数xyz是9的倍数，问x+y+z=9？ 条件1：x+y+z<15 条件2：x+y+z>8

题目：of the 200 students at college T majoring in one or more of the sciences, 130 are majoring in chemistry and 150 majoring in biology. If at least 30 of the students are not majoring in either chemistry or biology, then the number students majoring in both biology and chemistry could be any number from a) 20 to 50 b) 40 to 70 c) 50 to 130 d) 110 to 130 e) 110 to 150 问题：这道题能理解到是用集合的知识点，但是无论怎么做都无法突破，得到最后结果。还请老师讲解。谢谢
