They did not have time to talk to them or answer their questions. Instead they just gave them their medicines, made their beds and moved on.The head nurse was as busy as her nurses. She had to walk around with the doctors, make sure the nurses were doing their work, complete her reports and answer the phone.Many of the phone calls were from the friends and relatives of the patients, They were telephoning for information about the people in the hospital.One phone call, however, was a little different from all the others.The phone rang and the head nurse answered it. “Hello, ” she said.At the other end of the line a voice replied, “Good morning, Im phoning about Fred Lee. Could you tell me how he is, please? ”The head nurse looked at her notes, “Mr. Lee has had his operation, and is now resting. ”“Can you tell me if his condition is good? ”the voice asked.“Yes,”the woman replied. “He is comfortable and the operation was a success.”“When do you think he will be able to go home? ”the voice asked.“Oh, probably at the end of the week, ”the head nurse said. Then she asked, “May I tell him who is asking about him?”“Yes, ” the voice replied. “Fred Lee. ”“No, thats the patients name,” the head nurse said.“Yes. And I am the patient.

Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people think begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指）to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的）people in Australia. These people dont have hand movements to stand for numbers. They dont even have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe(部落） in northwestern Brazil dont have words for numbers such as “one” or “three.”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees,” “more trees,” or “many trees.” Professor Edward Gibson said that mist people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but isnt not useful in their culture, so theyve never picked it up.”Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量）,not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.31.The writer begins with the four questions in order to_.A. make a surveyB. interest readersC. tell a storyD. solve math problems32.What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the U.S. and China?A.

People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.33.Which of following is true about aboriginal Australians?A. They have only a few words for numbersB. They have hand movements to stand for numbersC. They can only count to five on their fingersD. They can understand different ideas about numbers34.The study of the Piraha tribe shows that_A. people all over the world know how to countB. People of the tribe have words for numberC. Some groups of people are not smart enough to countD. Counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe35.What is the main idea of the passage?A. people from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and mathB.
