One day a farmer?s donkey fell into an unwanted well. The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to find out what to do. Finally, he decided it just wasn?t worth saving because the animal was too old and the well needed to be covered up anyway.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each held a shovel(铁铲) and began to shovel dirt(泥土) into the well. At first the donkey cried loudly when he realized what was happening. Then, a few shovel-fulls later, he quieted down completely. The farmer looked down into the well, and was greatly surprised by what he saw. With every shovel-full of dirt that hit his back, the donkey would shake it off and take a step up on the new layer of dirt.

As the farmer?s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, to the great surprise of everyone, the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and walked off fast.

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The good way of getting out of the well is to stop crying, and not to let the dirt bury(埋葬) you, but to shake it off and take a step up.

Pop-ups are shops, restaurants or art galleries that open for a few days, weeks, or months, then close again. They are often advertised through Facebook and Twitter, or by word-of-mouth.

They?re popular in the UK, Australia, Canada and the United States, and many other countries.

There are several types of pop-up shops. The Swedish menswear brand Brothers has

The Suitcase Store. This is a large, old-fashioned suitcase with built-in shelves for

the company?s suits, ties, and shirts. It?s touring most big Swedish cities. In 2008,

Reebok opened a one-month store called FLASH in New York City?s CVZ modern

art gallery; and WIRED magazine opens an electronic shop every winter in New York

City with a big launch party full of famous people.

It seems very natural that if you have two dollars and add two dollars to them, you have four dollars. But do you know it took man millions of years to be able to think this way? In fact, one of the most difficult things to teach children is the idea of numbers.

In ancient times, when a man wanted to tell how many animals he owned, he had no system (体系) of numbers to use. He put a stone or pebble into a bag for each animal. The more animals, the more stones or pebbles he had. It may explain why the word “calculate” comes from the Latin word “calculus” which means “stone”.

Later on, man used tally marks to count. People would just scratch(划下) a line or tally mark for each object they wanted to count, but they had no word to tell the number.

The next step in the development of the number system was probably to use fingers. Again we have word that goes back to this. The word “digit” comes form the Latin word “digitus”. It means “finger”! And the fact that we have 10 fingers led to the general use of 10 in the system of numbers.

The number system we use today was invented by the Hindus in India thousands

of years ago and was brought to Europe during 8th to 11th century by Arab traders. In this system all numbers are written with the nine digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and zero. It is a decimal system(十进制), that is, it is built on the base of 10.

57. Man first used ______ for counting.

A. a line or tally mark

B. a stone or pebble

C. fingers

58. If A and B each scratched three lines for their own objects to be counted, they

would probably have ______ objects in all.

A. three

B. six

C. nine

59. The two Latin words in the text are ______.

A. calculus and stone

B. digitus and finger

C. calculus and digitus

60. ______ invented the number system we use today.

A. The Hindus in India

B. Europeans

C. Arab traders

61. There are ______ steps in the development of the counting system.
