【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ), while Prince Yuri Dolgoruky (a historical character) is used for tours around Moscow. Meanwhile, Vasilisa the Wise and The Snow Maiden test the reader on Russia39。s language and history. A special section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow39。s strict residency and employment rules, stressing that migrants could otherwise be deported (驅(qū)逐出境) or banned from entry. The manual was written primarily for illegal migrants, Alexander Kalinin, who heads the group Support for Working Migrants in Moscow, told BBC Russian. We want to raise their level of law awareness, he added. Migrant characters had initially (最初) been identified as representatives of different nationalities, but the book39。s authors later decided to drop this idea so as not to offend anyone, said Mr. Kalinin. The old conflict between Russian heroes and nonSlavic invaders is being revived, Yevgeny Varshaver, a migration expert told BBC Russian. He also suggested that the language used in the book would be difficult to understand for some migrants who were not native Russian speakers.（1）The underlined word antagonists in Paragraph 1 can probably be replaced by ________.

Read them loud. Now look away and spend 20 seconds memorizing them in order before saying them out loud again. If you speak English, you have about a 50% chance of remembering those perfectly. If you are Chinese, though, you39。re almost certain to get it right every time. Why is that? 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. That example es from Stanislas Dahaene39。s book The Number Sense. 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. It turns out that there is also a big difference in how numbernaming systems in Western and Asian languages are constructed. In English, we say fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and nineteen, so one might expect that we would also say oneteen, twoteen, threeteen, and fiveteen. But we don39。t. We use a different form: eleven, twelve, thirteen and fifteen. For numbers above 20, we put the “decade” first and the unit number second (twentyone, twentytwo), while for the teens, we do it the other way around (fourteen, seventeen, eighteen). The number system in English is highly irregular. Not so in China, Japan, and Korea. They have a logical counting system. Eleven is tenone. Twelve is tentwo. Twentyfour is twotensfour and so on. 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. The regularity of their number system also means that Asian children can perform basic functions, such as addition, far more easily. Ask an Englishspeaking sevenyearold to add thirtyseven plus twentytwo in her head, and she has to change the words to numbers (37+22). Only then can she do the math: 2 plus 7 is 9 and 30 and 20 is 50, which makes 59. Ask an Asian child to add threetensseven and twotenstwo, and then the necessary equation(等式) is right there, in the sentence. No number translation is necessary: it39。s fivetensnine. When it es to math, in other words, Asians have a builtin advantage. For years, students from China, South Korea, and Japan outperformed their Western classmates at mathematics, and the typical assumption is that it has something to do with a kind of Asian talent for math. The differences between the number sy
