16、chieve everything he was capable of achieving. He was obsessed with this desire - he ate, slept, and walked with one and only dream: to die, having accomplished every single thing he was able to accomplish. There were so many things he could do. He felt like the whole world could be his, 36 he set h
17、is mind to it. He knew that his 37 had no limits. He knew that he could accumulate 38 that would dwarf (使相形见绌 ) that of ancient kings; he knew that he could 39 books that would shake the minds of generations; he knew that he could 40 things that would forever change the lives of millions of people.
18、He lived, constantly feeling the power within - and that power knew no bounds. There was only one problem: having such a potential, but only one 41, he had to make a choice. He had to decide where to 42 all of his ability. Making that decision was extremely hard, for any 43 meant cutting off some fu
19、ture achievements. In the meantime, he went to school, graduated, found a job, married, and 44 children. And he spent every minute of his spare time trying to decide 45 he should bring his potential into full play. Time went by, and he grew 46. Some roads he used to dream about became closed to him.
20、 But there was still so much he could accomplish. One day, a sudden chest pain made him come home early. He dragged his feet to the bathroom. There, feeling 47, he looked in the mirror. A worn-out, gray-haired man stared back at him. He looked 48 into these eyes and, all of a sudden, 49 one simple t
21、ruth. The next moment, the pain came again, and his heart stopped 50 forever. The truth that came upon him was rather simple: People only flatter themselves (自以为是，自鸣得意 ) by thinking that they could have 51 this or that if not for such-and-such circumstances. Yet this is nothing but 52 . You simply l

Read
26、 them loud. Now look away and spend 20 seconds memorizing them in order before saying them out loud again. If you speak English, you have about a 50% chance of remembering those perfectly. If you are Chinese, though, youre almost certain to get it right every time. Why is that Because we most easily
27、 memorize whatever we can say or read within a two-second period. And unlike English, the Chinese language allows them to fit all those seven numbers into two seconds. That example comes from Stanislas Dahaenes book The Number Sense. As Dahaene explains: Chinese number words are remarkably brief. Mo
28、st of them can be spoken out in less than one-quarter of a second (for instance, 4 is “si” and 7 “qi”). Their English pronunciations are longer. The memory gap between English and Chinese apparently is entirely due to this difference in length. It turns out that there is also a big difference in how
29、 number-naming systems in Western and Asian languages are constructed. In English, we say fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and nineteen, so one might expect that we would also say oneteen, twoteen, threeteen, and fiveteen. But we dont. We use a different form: eleven, twelve, thirteen and fift
30、een. For numbers above 20, we put the “decade” first and the unit number second (twenty-one, twenty-two), while for the teens, we do it the other way around (fourteen, seventeen, eighteen). The number system in English is highly irregular. Not so in China, Japan, and Korea. They have a logical count
31、ing system. Eleven is ten-one. Twelve is ten-two. Twenty-four is two-tens-four and so on. That difference means that Asian children learn to count much faster than American children. Four-year-old Chinese children can count, on average, to 40. American children at that age can count only to 15. By t
32、he age of five, in other words, American children are already a year behind their Asian friends in the most fundamental of math skills. The regularity of their number system also means that Asian children can perform basic functions, such as addition, far more easily. Ask an English-speaking seven-y
33、ear-old to add thirty-seven plus twenty-two in her head, and she has to change the words to numbers (37+22). Only then can she do the math: 2 plus 7 is 9 and 30 and 20 is 50, which makes 59. Ask an Asian child to add three-tens-seven and two-tens-two, and then the necessary equation(等式 ) is right th
34、ere, in the sentence. No number translation is necessary: its five-tens-nine. When it comes to math, in other words, Asians have a built-in advantage. For years, students from China, South Korea, and Japan - outperformed their Western classmates at mathematics, and the typical assumption is that it
35、has something to do with a kind of Asian talent for math. The differences between the number systems in the East and the West suggest something very different - that being good at math may also be rooted in a groups culture. 【小题 1】 What does the passage mainly talk about A The Asian number-naming sy
36、stem helps grasp advanced math skills better. B Western culture fail to provide their children with adequate number knowledge. C Children in Western countries have to learn by heart the learning things. D Asian childrens advantage in math may be sourced from their culture. 【小题 2】 What makes a Chines
37、e easier to remember a list of numbers than an American A Their understanding of numbers. B Their mother tongue. C Their math education. D Their different IQ. 【小题 3】 Asian children can reach answers in basic math functions more quickly because _. A they pronounce the numbers in a shorter period B th
38、ey practice math from an early age C English speaking children translate language into numbers first D American children can only count to 15 at the age of four 答案：【小题 1】 D【小题 1】 B【小题 1】 C After the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill aimed at retaliatory(报复的 ) action against China for its “
39、significantly undervalued” currency, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner urged the IMF to pressure China to adopt “more flexible, more market-directed exchange-rate management”. This is a coded message to China: Youre keeping on purpose your currency cheap, and the U.S. economy is paying the price.
40、So cut it out - or else. The normally dull IMF meeting became the latest battleground for the U.S. to be against a fast developing China. Our new conventional wisdom is that Chinas policy leads to make trade deficits (逆差 ) greater and the loss of American jobs. Dozens of candidates have run ads atta
41、cking a competitor for allowing China to take advantage of us. In the election-year view, China grew 10% annually for the past decade while maintaining low inflation(通涨 ) only by taking advantage of its artificially low currency. The idea that the U.S. is not responsible for its own economy is a bla
42、ck-is-white view. It argues that China and its currency are causing the lions share of harm. This is an argument born of fear. It covers a fact that the economies of China and the U.S. have become beneficial to each other. Those trillions in reserves that China accumulates: Where do they go Back to
43、the U.S. in the form of lending money to the federal government. Those made-in-China goods that account for the trade deficit: Whom do they benefit China, yes, but also American consumers and companies. Without China, American companies could not have maintained their profitability in recent years.
44、Take two brand names, Caterpillar and Nike. Both have their products made in China, but both also view China as a fast-growing market for their products. George Soros warned recently that a currency war could put the world into disorder more damaging than anything caused by the financial crisis of t
45、he 1930s. Hes right. Whether we like it or not, we live in a global system. The zero-sum attitude toward China and its currency is a relic, the remaining of an earlier time when nations defined economic life. China is far from perfect and seeks its own advantage, but holding it accountable for our d
46、omestic problems is beyond outdated. It reflects a dangerous refusal to deal with the world as it is. Retaliating against China over currency will not regain high-end jobs in the U.S., which needs more our own demand. It will not renew construction or retool the American labor force. It will not reb
47、uild rotting bridges or create a next-generation energy network. 【小题 1】 Which of the following argument can be supported by the writer A China is the winner in the Sino-US trade. B Chinas rapid development over the past ten years is based on its low inflation. C The worlds economy will benefit from
48、Chinas policy changes on its currency. D The US will get hurt if it tries hard on damaging Chinas economy. 【小题 2】 This passage is in a tone that is _.
