A. Decide whether the following statements are True or False according to the passage.Today we use numbers very often. But have you ever thought about numbers?We think that counting is easy. But it was not easy long ago. People didnt know how to count. When they had to count their cows or horses, they used their names. When people first began to count, they didnt use number names like “ one, two, three.” Sometimes they used short sticks. But very often they used their fingers. In many languages of today people use ten to make all the numbers from 11 to 99. Thirteen is short for “three tens”, twenty for “two tens”, and so on.To show numbers above ten, names of numbers are often more useful than fingers. We can only count up to ten with our fingers. We can hold up seven fingers and show that there are seven days in a week, but with fingers we cannot show at once that there are 365 days in a year.Numbers are very useful, but some people still have no names for numbers above three or four; they use “many” for those numbers.( )1.

His college friends were looking for their first jobs, but he didnt have to. John decided to keep living a simple life like everyone else. He didnt tell any of his friends and gave $ 100, 000 of his money to a charity that helped poor children to live better lives. Today he is 36. He still wears cheap shoes and clothes and owns a small car only, but he is much happier. Up to now John has helped 15 children from poor countries all over the world, $ 200 a month for each. The children do not receive the money in cash (现金). The money pays for the childrens school expenses, food, medical care and clothing. John receives a report each year on the childrens progress. They can write to each other, but usually the children do not speak English. When John first heard about these children, he wanted to help them. It was not anything special, he said. Until I had the chance to go to these countries and meet the children I was helping, I did not know anything about the type of life they had. Once John went to meet a little girl in Africa. He said that the meeting was very exciting. When I met her, I felt very happy, he said, I saw that the money was used for a very good plan. It brought me closer to the child in a way that giving money alone cannot. I want to do everything I can. I will go on helping those children in need, he added.根据文章内容 ，回答下列问题。1.
