Let's have a flying competition. I'll show you what real flying is!"One of the swans, a strong young male , took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks(花样), and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.Now it was the swan's turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him，making all kinds of comments(评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn't see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.The swan pretended（假装）not to notice, and said, "Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?""No," said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. "I'm in trouble because of my pride!

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 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 don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t 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 Pirahā tribe(部落）in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers su ch 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 m ost people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does no t 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. 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.( )66. The writer begins with the four questions in order to______.A. make a surveyB. interest readersC. tell a storyD. solve math problems( )67.What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the U.S. and China?A. People from China count much faster than people from the U.S.B. People from China need two hands to count from one to ten.C. People of different cultures may use different ways of finger countingD. People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.( )68.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 numbers( )69.The study of the Pirahā 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 tribe( )70.What is the main idea of the passage?A. people from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and mathB. Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than AmericansC. In some aboriginal culture, people don’t even know how to countD. Some lang uages don’t have number words because people don’t need numbers.DDo you like to tell stories? Do you like to write? Sometimes those questions have two different answers. 66 . However, it can be hard to write them down on paper.67 . Even professional writers do not write everything perfectly the first time. They have to revise(修正) their work. When you revise your writing, you look for ways to change it that will make it better. 68 . You make sure that you have used capitals(大写), periods and other punctuation marks in the best way. You look for words that can be taken out or changed for different, more exciting words. You make sure that your words help the reader get a picture in his mind when he reads them.Writing is one of those skills that take practice. The changes you make can turn boring words into exciting words. 69 . Don’t be afraid to make changes. The first time you write on a topic, you get your ideas down on paper. 70 . It’s making it ready for readers to enjoy.根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺，内容完整，并将其标号填写在下面题号后的横线上。
