A. Stationer B. Toy store C. Stationer 40 meters west D. Toy store East -60 meters test center: positive and negative; Addition of rational numbers.
Special topic: computational problems; Application problem.
Analysis: firstly, investigate the meaning of the problem and make clear the meanings of "affirmation" and "negation"; Go east-60 meters means 60 meters west, and then answer the question according to the meaning.
Solution: Going east -60 meters means going west 60 meters. So Xiaoming walked 40 meters east from the bookstore and then 60 meters west. As a result, Xiao Ming's location is 20 meters west of the bookstore, which is the location of the stationery store, so he chose A.
Comments: The key to solve this problem is to understand the relativity of "positive" and "negative" and to make clear what a pair of quantities with opposite meanings are. In a pair of quantities with opposite meanings, one of them is defined as positive and the other is negative.
