How quickly can you count from one to ten Do you use ten different words to do it Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first language Do you count on your fingers Many people think that numbers and Maths are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.
People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指）to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.
Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的）people in Australia. These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They even don’t have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.
In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe(部落） in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees”, “more trees”, or “many trees”. Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it’s not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.”
Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量）,not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and Maths, too.
(　　)16. What purpose does the writer begin with the four questions
To make a survey.
B.to interest readers.
C. To tell a story.
D. To solve Maths problems.
B
(　　)17. What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the US and China
A. People from China count much faster than people from the US.
B. People from China need two hands to count from one to ten.
C. People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting.
D. People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.
C
(　　)18. Which of following is TRUE about aboriginal Australians
A. They have only a few words for numbers.
B. They have hand movements to stand for numbers.
C. They can only count to five on their fingers.
D. They can understand different ideas about numbers.
D
(　　)19. What does the study of the Piraha tribe show
A. People all over the world know how to count.
B. People of the tribe have words for number.
C. Some groups of people are not smart enough to count.
D. Counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe.
D
(　　)20. What is the main idea of the passage

B. Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans.
C. In some aboriginal culture, people don’t even know how to count.
D. Some languages don’t have number words because people don’t need numbers.
A
C
Many people hope lucky numbers will bring them good luck. In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky according to the Chinese characters that the number sounds similar to. For example, the number 8 sounds similar to the Chinese character for “making a fortune(发财)”. So people think it’s a lucky number. Some even spend a lot of money having the number 8 in their phone numbers or vehicle license plate numbers. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics Games began at 8：08 p. m. on 8 August,2008.
The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors(皇帝) of ancient China. There were nine dragons on the emperors’ robes(袍). It’s said that the dragon has nine children. The number 9 also stands for “long lasting”. That’s why a man always gives a woman 99 or 999 roses.
Then what’s the unlucky number in China It might be the number 4. Many Chinese people take 4 as an unlucky number because it sounds similar to the Chinese character for “death”. Because of this, some buildings skip the fourth floor, and people simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4,such as 4, 14,24,34,and all 40—49 floors. However, in many Western countries, some buildings skip the 13th floor because 13 is considered as an unlucky number.
(　　)21. In China, for which character does the number 8 sound similar to
Having more money.
B. Keeping healthy.
C. Making a fortune.
D. Getting more chances.
C
(　　)22. Why does a man always give a woman 99 or 999 roses
A. Because he wants the woman to have a long life.
B. Because he hopes they will live to 100 years old.
C. Because he hopes their relation will last a long time.
D. Because most women like the number 99 or 999.
C
(　　)23. In China, what is the fourth floor of some buildings called
A. The fifth floor. B. The fourth floor A.
C. The fifth floor A. D. The fifth floor B.
(　　)24. Which is the unlucky number in Western countries according to the passage

A
(　　)25. What can we learn from the text
A. Chinese people don’t build the fourth floor because it’s unlucky.
B. Westerners skip the 13th floor because the number sounds similar to the word for “death”.
C. Men always give women 99 roses because they want to have nine children.
