One plus ne equals tw. There are 60 secnds in ne minute. Sixty minutes equals ne hur. There are 24 hurs in ne day. One year includes 365 days. These are all basic facts that we knw by heart. But have yu ever stpped t think hw numbers came int being and hw they develped?
It’s safe t say that ur sciety wuld have never develped withut numbers. Hwever, the develpment f numbers is still a puzzle t us. That’s because when ancient peple develped simple ways f cunting, they didn’t leave any recrds behind.
It’s nt difficult t guess that numbers and cunting began with the number “1”, thugh ancient peple prbably didn’t call it “ne.” They likely cunted by nes and recrded by carving lines n a bne.
The earliest evidence f this is the Ishang Bne (伊尚戈骨), which was fund in 1960 in Africa. The bne is
believed t be mre than 20,000 years ld. It has many lines n it. The lines lk like what we wuld call “tally marks” tday. Scientists think thse lines shw hw ancient peple used numbers.

Ancient peple carved lines n the stnes as a way f cunting.

A study in September has added excitement in the brain science area. In the study, vlunteers had electrical stimulatin (刺激) in their brains.

Wrking memry is cnnected t prblem-slving and decisin-making abilities. Lw frequency (频率) stimulatin f the brain can help bst wrking memry. Fr example, vlunteers als did better in taking ntes
after the stimulatin.
The brain training industries are wrth millins f dllars. Players are interested in imprving their abilities by ding memry exercises. The future is wide pen if it is tested t be successful and safe in treatments.

What d yu d when yu need t lk smething up? G t the library? Open an encyclpedia? Click n t the internet? These days, mst peple g straight t Wikipedia, the nline encyclpedia. But hw reliable (可靠) is it?
There’s n denying the ppularity and usefulness f Wikipedia. It attracts 78 millin visitrs every mnth, and the site is available (可用的) in mre than 270 different languages. It’s ne f the mst cmprehensive (综合的) resurces available, and it’s gt much mre infrmatin than an rdinary encyclpedia. The site is updated n a
daily basis by thusands f peple arund the wrld. Anyne with an internet cnnectin can lg n and edit the cntents r add a new page. And yu dn’t need any frmal training.
Of curse, there are sme cntrls. Wikipedia has a team f mre than 1,500 administratrs (管理员) wh
check fr false infrmatin. But with mre than 16 millin articles t keep an eye n, it isn’t easy. S, while Wikipedia benefits frm being cnstantly updated with infrmatin frm all ver the wrld, it’s als pen t
Sme f the damage is easy t ntice. One prankster (恶作剧者) drew devil hrns and a mustache n Micrsft chairman Bill Gate’s pht, while anther edited Greek philspher Plat’s bigraphy t say he was a “Hawaiian weather man”.
But ther things are harder t spt. The mst cmmn frm f vandalism invlves adding tiny items f false infrmatin int the bigraphy f a famus persn. Sme f this misinfrmatin has even appeared in newspapers, with The Daily Mail, The Guardian and The Independent all having fallen victim (牺牲者) t the pranks. Fr example, in an intrductin fr British cmedian Sir Nrman Wisdm, ne newspaper claimed that he c-wrte
Dame Vera Lynn’s wartime hit “There’ll be Bluebirds ver the White Cliffs f Dver”. He did n such thing. And in anther article, it was reprted that TV theme tune cmpser Rnnie Hazlehurst had written the sng “Reach”. Once again, nt true.
S, if yu’re ging t use any infrmatin frm Wikipedia, make sure yu duble-check it first.
If yu want t lk smething up n Wikipedia, yu will find .
it is nly available in EnglishB. it has little useful infrmatin
C. yu can nly get the infrmatin nlineD. yu need t g t a library t use it
Accrding t the article, what is NOT an advantage enjyed by Wikipedia ver that f an rdinary encyclpedia?
It is available nline in many different languages.
It may cntain mre false infrmatin than an rdinary encyclpedia.
It has a team f administratrs t check fr false infrmatin.
It’s cntent can be updated every day.
The examples f the pranks are cited (引用) t .
let yu knw that false infrmatin is inevitable n the site
urge Wikipedia t set stricter cntrls ver its cntents
criticize the right that the public has t edit the cntents n the site
demnstrate the dwnsides f public editing allwed by Wikipedia
It can be learned frm the article that .
pranksters aren’t likely t edit the infrmatin abut famus peple
sme mainstream newspapers als refer t the false infrmatin frm Wikipedia
the public is nt allwed by Wikipedia t edit the infrmatin abut famus peple
the Wikipedia administratrs dn’t wrk hard enugh t check fr false infrmatin n the site
B. The infrmatin frm Wikipedia is nt reliable.
C. We shuld nt trust the infrmatin frm Wikipedia.
D. We shuld make sure the infrmatin frm Wikipedia is crrect befre deciding t use it.
