    Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a in number. Human beings are born with this ability. , experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not . However, if you remove two, the bird leaves. This means that the bird knows the between two and three.

    Another interesting experiment showed a bird's number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not until the man left the tower. The man had an .He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were .It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were able to fool the crow.

    How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are fooled.

    It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human is not much better than a crow's.

    Life is full of ups and downs but it is never too easy to achieve success. As the old English say goes “Failure is the mother of success.” I was asked to play in a table tennis match last term. After the match, I was confident I would win. Therefore, I failed. How sadly I was! Luckily, my P.E. teacher helped me out. He told me not to lose my heart. He also helped me my skills. With his help, my confidence returned and I come up with several new idea. The next day, though I had to play against another more experience boy, I beat him. So don’t be afraid of failure. If we can deal with it well, failure can be the mother of success.

    Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer. The training I received, though excellent, didn't tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.

    My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three children. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she couldn't read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.

    As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.

    As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.

    1.What did the writer do last summer?

    A. She worked in the supermarket.

    B. She helped someone to learn to read.

    C. She helped some single mothers.

    D. She was trained by a literacy volunteer.

    2.Why didn't Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?

    A. Because she liked to walk to the supermarket.

    B. Because she didn't have a bus schedule.

    C. Because she couldn't afford the bus ticket.

    D. Because she couldn't find the right bus.

    3.How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?

    A. She knew where the goods were in the supermarket.

    B. She asked others to take her to the right place.

    C. She managed to find the goods by their looks.

    D. She remembered the names of the goods.

    4.Which of the statements is TRUE about Marie?

    A. She could do many things she had not been able to before.

    B. She was able to read stories with the help of her son.

    C. She decided to continue her studies in school.

    D. She helped to build up my self-confidence.

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    Investing in yourself

    Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.

    1. Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.

    You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education. 2. . There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.

    So what are some specific things you can do? 3.. Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I’m talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books.

    You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. 4. . Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation.

    Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn’t 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when inflation(通货膨胀) is taken into consideration. 5. . But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.

    A. This is just one way.

    B. The benefits will stay with you.

    C. If you aren’t a reader, you should start with that.

    D. The more you do this, the more valuable you will be.

    E. Of course, you need to do some research before investing.

    F. The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.

    G. When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.-----
