As Dahaene explains: Chinese number words are remarkably brief. Most of them can be spoken out in less than onequarter of a second (for instance, 4 is “si” and 7 “qi”). Their English pronunciations are longer. The memory gap between English and Chinese apparently is entirely due to this difference in length. That difference means that Asian children learn to count much faster than American children. Fouryearold Chinese children can count, on average, to 40. American children at that age can count only to 15. By the age of five, in other words, American children are already a year behind their Asian friends in the most fundamental of math skills.s culture.(1)What does the passage mainly talk about?A.文章介紹了東西方數(shù)字系統(tǒng)之間的差異對(duì)東西方人數(shù)學(xué)能力的影響,同時(shí)也發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)非常不同的地方:善于數(shù)學(xué)也可能植根于一個(gè)群體的文化中。故選D。6.閱讀理解 Of course, not only does giving increase our happiness, but also our happiness increases the possibility that we will give.

As the temperature keeps rising, your cup of coffee will bee much more expensive, and it may also carry an aftertaste bitterer than usual, for all those workers in the coffee belt left without the means to make a living as conditions worsen.
