It seams very natural that if you have two dollars and add two dollars to them. you have four dollars. But do you know it took men millions of years to be able to think this way? in Fact. one of the most difficult things to teach children is the idea of numbers.
In ancient times.when a man wanted to tell how many animals he owned, he had no system(系统) of numbers to use. He put a stone into a bag for each animal. The more animals, the more stones he had. It may explain why the word "calculate" comes from the Latin word "calculus". "Calculus" means "stone."
Then, man used lines to count. People would just draw a line for each thing they wanted to count, but they had no word to tell the number.
Later on, people used fingers. Again we have word that goes back to this. The word "digit" comes from the Latin word "digitus". It means "finger"! And the fact that we have 10 fingers led to the use of 10 in the system of numbers.
The number system we use today was invented by the Hindus in India thousands of years ago and was brought to Europe during 8th to 11th by Arab traders(商人). In this system, people count things with ten numbers. 1. 2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.and 0. It is decimal system(十进制), that is, it is built on the base of 10.
(9)How many ways of counting things are introduced to us in the passage?

B. Because we only have 10 fingers
C. Because we have no word to tell the number.
D. Because we have no system of numbers to use

Have you ever wondered how and why a fall leaf changes color? We first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.
Plants are the world's food factories. Plants take water from the ground and take CO2 from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose(葡萄糖). Glucose is a kind of sugar. Using it as food, plants get energy and grow. Plants using sunlight to turn water and CO2 into sugar is called photosynthesis( 光 合 作 用 ). Chlorophyll helps photosynthesis. It gives plants their green color.
As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees "know" to begin getting ready for winter. During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food﹣making factories. As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves. These colors have been in the leaves all the time. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.
The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, glucose is caught in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into a red color.The brown color of trees is made from waste left in the leaves. It is mixture of all these things. It makes the beautiful leaves during autumn.
(17)The underline word "chlorophyll" in the passage means in Chinese.
A.胡萝卜素
B. 叶绿素
C. 维生素
