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(手指)? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered(发现) 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 finger. They then extend(展开) the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(大拇指) to count to five. Then they repeat(重复) this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions(位置). 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. For example, the aboriginal(土著居民), people in Australia 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. Similarly, 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 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 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.” 28. Why does the writer list the four questions at the beginning of the passage? A. To make a survey. B. To interest the readers. C. To give examples. 29. What can we learn according to paragraph 2? A. People from China can make use of different finger positions to do the counting. B. People from the US usually begin counting with their thumb. C. People from China count much faster than people from the US. 30. Which of the following is TRUE about aboriginal Australians? A. There are ideas of numbers in their life. B. There is no “some trees” in their language. C. They have only a few words for numbers. 31. 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. counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中一项为多余选项。 The father said, “Boys, we won’t go on vacation this year.
