【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ly so in China, Japan, and Korea. They have a logical counting system.（英語中的數(shù)字系統(tǒng)是高度不規(guī)則的。在中國、日本、韓國則不是這樣的。他們有一個邏輯計數(shù)系統(tǒng)。）及第四段中的That difference means that Asian children learn to count much faster than American children.（這種差異意味著亞洲兒童比美國兒童學(xué)的要快得多。）可推知，本文主要探討了亞洲兒童在數(shù)學(xué)方面的優(yōu)勢可能來源于他們的文化的問題。故選D。（2）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的Because we most easily memorize whatever we can say or read within a twosecond period. And unlike English, the Chinese language allows them to fit all those seven numbers into two seconds.（因為我們最容易記住我們在一兩秒鐘內(nèi)能說或讀的東西。與英語不同，漢語允許他們把這七個數(shù)字放在兩秒鐘之內(nèi)）可推知，比起美國人，中國人的母語讓中國人更容易記住一列數(shù)字。故選B。（3）細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中對亞洲孩子與美國孩子在基本數(shù)學(xué)運算方面的對比可知，亞洲兒童可以更快地在基本數(shù)學(xué)運算中找到答案，是因為他們不必先把語言翻譯成數(shù)字。故選C。4．閱讀理解 Visitors must present all carried items for inspection upon entry. After inspection, all bags, backpacks, umbrella, parcels and other items as determined by security officers must be left at the checkrooms, free of charge, close to each entrance.

Do you know the reason? Beyond the noble goals of helping others, it is that giving will make them happier. It is a fact that givers are happier people than nongivers. According to the Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey, a survey of 30,000 American households, people who give money to charity are 43% more likely than nongivers to say they are very happy about their lives. Similarly, volunteers are 42% more likely to be very happy then nonvolunteers. The happiness difference between givers and nongivers is not due to differences in their personal characteristics, such as ine or religion. Imagine two people who are identical in terms of ine and faith, as well as age, education, politics, sex, and family circumstances, but one donates money and volunteers, while the other does not. The giver will be, on average, over 40 percentage points more likely to be very happy than the nongivers. A number of studies have researched exactly why charity leads to happiness. The surprising conclusion is that giving affects our brain chemistry. For example, people who give often report feelings of euphoria, which psychologists have referred to as the Helper39。s High. They believe that charitable activity produces a very mild version of the sensations people get from drugs like morphine and heroin. Of course, not only does giving increase our happiness, but also our happiness increases the possibility that we will give. Everyone prefers to give more when they are happy. Researchers have investigated this by conducting experiments in which people are asked about their happiness before and after they participate in a charitable activity, such as volunteering to help children or serving meals to the poor. The result is clear that giving has a strong, positive causal impact on our happiness, so does happiness on giving（1）According to Paragraph 2. We can learn that . A.only those people who gave money to charity will be happyB.more givers say they feel having happy lives than nongiversC.those who donate money are happier than those who volunteerD.42% of the volunteers say they are as happy as the nonvolunteers（2）What causes the happiness difference?
