People love proverbs. They are always impressed because the proverbs express a lot of information in just a few words. A good proverb quickly sums up (概括) ideas that are sometimes hard to express. And the person can understand it al once.
Proverbs come from two main places—ordinary people and fa-mous people.These two sources (来源) are not always distinct (明显 &?]) .Common and popular proverbs are often used by famous people. And the common people often borrow something that is said or written down by a well-known person. For example,u Bar/ news travels fast' probably comes from the experience of housewives. However, ^ All"s well that ends welV'y/as written by the famous writer —William Shakespeare.

Passage 8 (2014 浙江杭州，B)
How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten dif?ferent words to do it? 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 numbers and math are the same all over the world.But sci?entists 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 begin counting with their first finger,which they extend or stick out.They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb (梅指) to count to five.Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. InChina,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 langua?ges have only a few words for numbers,and others have no words for numbers.A group of scientists studied aboriginal (土著白勺) people in Australia.These people don't have haml movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have words 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 Pirahfi tribe (部落) in northwestern Brazil don't 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 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,so they’ve 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.Num?ber words in a certain language are a result of people needing num?bers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math,too.1. The writer begins with the four questions in order to .
A. make a survey B. interest readers
C. tell a story D. solve math problems
2. What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between theU.S.andChina?
A. People fromChinacount much faster than people from theU.S.
B. People fromChinaneed two hands to count from one to ten.
C. People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting.
D. People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.
3. Which of the following is true about aboriginal Australians?
A. They have only a few words for numbers.
B. They have hand movements to stand for numbers.
C. They can only count to five on their fingers.
D. They can understand different ideas about numbers.
4. The study of the Piraha tribe shows that .
A. people all over the world know how to count
B. people of the tribe have words for numbers
C. some groups of people are not smart enough to count D. counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. People from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math.
B. Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans.
C. In some aboriginal cultures,people don't even know how to count.
D. Some languages don't have number words because people don't need numbers.
