Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first language? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numb

18、ers 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 UnitedStates, people begin counting with their first finger, which they extend or stick out. They thenextend th

19、e rest of their fingers and finally the thumb 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

20、 found that cultures and languages are alsodifferent 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 don thave hand movements to stand for numbers. They

21、don teven have words for numbers.

22、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 most people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it s not useful in their culture,

23、 so they ve never picked it up. ”Although all humans are able to understand quantities, not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needingnumbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about nu

24、mbers and math, too.21. The writer begins with the four questions in order to _A. make a surveyB. interest readersC. tell a storyD. solve math problems22.
