cooking."He laughed again."Well,I did miss my mom's cooking,but I was surprised

How quickly can you count from one to ten?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
(展开).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.A group of scientists studied
aboriginal (people in Australia.These people don't have hand movements to
stand for numbers.They don't even have word for numbers.However,they are still
able to understand different ideas about numbers.
In a similar study,researchers discovered that people of the Piraha tribe (
in northwestern Brazil don't have words for numbers such as“one”or“three'”.

Professor Edward Gibson said,"It 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 ()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.
26.What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the U.S.and
China?
A.People from China need two hands to count from one to ten.

While the start of a new school year is always exciting,this year was even more
so for students at White Cloud Primary School in Auckland,New Zealand.They
became the world's first kids to be“taught''by a digital(数字的)teacher.
Will,their new digital teacher,is not a human-like robot walking around the
classroom.Instead,he is a computer-created head that turns up on the students'
computers or smartphone screens when called.Developed by Vector and Soul
Machines,Will is able to reply to questions the kids might have using a microphone.
Thanks to a digital camera,he can also pick up non-verbal signals(非语言信号)and
react.For example,if a student smiles at Will,he can smile back.This two-way
communication not only helps draw the students'attention but also allows the
program's developers to make changes to Will if needed.
Greg Cross,the Chief Business Officer for Soul Machines,says,"Kids who have
grown up in this digital time get used to new technology quickly.So we hope to
develop the idea of digital humans in the education area."
However,no matter how popular it becomes,Will is unlikely to replace human
educators any time soon.For one,his knowledge base is not large.More importantly,
even the smartest digital humans can never predict and react to all the unexpected
problems that educators have to solve daily.But Will could come in handy as a
"personal teacher",providing kids with one-on-one help on the subjects or even
topics.
46.Will is a
teacher.(仅填1词)
47.Greg Cross invented Will because he hoped to
in the education area.
