I had walked along the sea for about an hour until I began to feel hungry. It was seven. At that time I was not far from a favorite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three times a week. I knew the owner well.
I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded, and ordered my meal. While I was waiting, I looked 1 to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. Then I saw a man sitting at a corner table near the door keeping looking in my direction, as if he knew me. I certainly didn’t know him, for I never forgot a 2 . The man had a newspaper open in front of him. But I could see that he was keeping an 3 on me. When the waiter brought my soup, the man was 4 puzzled (迷惑) by the familiar(熟悉) way that the waiter and I called each other. He became even puzzled as time went on. He could see that I was well 5 in the restaurant. At last, he got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again, 6 for his meal and left.
When I had finished, I called the owner of the restaurant and asked him 7 the man had wanted. The owner told me he was a detective. “Really?” I was surprised. “He was certainly 8 in me. But why?” I asked. “He followed you because he thought you were a man he was looking 9 ,” the owner said. “When he came into the kitchen, he showed me a photo of the man. He certainly looked like you! Of course, since we 10 you, I told him that he had made a mistake.” It was lucky I came to a restaurant where I was known, or I might have been arrested!

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 languages? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math 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 (伸出). 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 don’t even have words 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 Piranha 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 isn’t not useful in their culture, so they’re 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 math, too.
1. The writer begins with the four questions in order to
A. make a survey B. interest readers
C. tell a story D. solve math problems
2. What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the U. S. and China?

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.
3. Which of the 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.
4. The study of the Piranha tribe shows that________.
A. People all over the world know how to count
B. People of the tribe have words for numbers
C. Some groups of people are not smart enough to count
D. Counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. People from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math.
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.
B
The police find most criminals because somebody tells them who the criminals are. They find other criminals by using science and their computers. When there is a bank robbery, the police first look through their computers for the names of bank robbers they know about. Then they go and talk to any of these robbers who are not in jail(监狱). They ask them where they were at the time of the robbery. If any of these people cannot give a good answer, the police will often use science to find out if one of them is the robber.
Many criminals leave something of themselves at the place of the crime like a fingerprint or a hair. Or they take something away on their shoes or clothes, like dirt or animal hair. If they leave behind some of their blood or a hair or a piece of skin, it will have their DNA inside it.
Everyone's DNA is different in the same way that their fingerprints are different. If a criminal cuts himself during a robbery or leaves a hair, or even a small piece of skin, scientists can find out what his DNA is.

What is a hurricane?
You may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating(毁灭性的) waves, wind, and rain. They happen during “Hurricane Season,” which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.
Categories(类别)of Hurricanes
There are five categories of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage(危害) a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm. For example, a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour, which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely.

When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall, there can be a devastating flood. The centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye is actually(事实上) a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that it’s over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.
Hurricane Safety Tips
There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips.
·Be sure you have a radio, batteries, fresh dinking water, and enough food.
·Tell neighbors, friends, and family members your emergency plans. Tell them where you’ll go if you need to leave your home.
·If you live near the ocean, leave your home and travel to a safe place. You could stay with a friend or a family member, in a hotel/motel, or in an emergency shelter area.
·Stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured(受伤) if you go outside.
Hurricanes
