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 think 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 dont have hand movements to stand for numbers.they dont 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 piraha tribe(部落)in northwestern brazil dont 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 its not useful in their culture，so theyve never picked it up.”although all humans are able to understand quantities(數(shù)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.11the writer begins with the four questions in order to_b_.amake a survey binterest readersctell a story dsolve math

numbers.14the study of the piraha tribe shows that_d_.apeople all over the world know how to countbpeople of the tribe have words for numbercsome groups of people are not smart enough to

students have biology classes in the classrooms or the labs in china.but several days ago，i had a biology class outside in my american school.my biology teacher，mr.kwak，divided us into three groups and asked us to play a game about natural selection(選擇) and how birds find food.he gave the first group one spoon per person，the second group forks and my group knives.i thought we were going hunting，so knives might work better.surprisingly，he told us to pick up the beans on the grass with our tools.when the game started all of us ran to the grass area.we squatted(蹲)down and looked for beans，it was hard to pick up something that small，especially from the grass.when i almost fired a bean，it dropped back to the ground.when i finally picked up several beans，one of my friends ran into me.i couldnt keep my balance and fell over.all my beans dropped to the ground！just at that moment，mr.kwak called us back.i had to leave the game and of course i got a bad result.i couldnt help
