Number
sense
is
not
the
ability
to
count. It is the ability to recognize
a
1
in
number. Human
beings are born with this
ability.
2 ,experiments
show that many animals
are, too.For example, many birds have good number sense. If a
nest has four eggs and you
remove one,the bird will not
3
.However,if you remove two,
the bird
4
leaves. This means that the bird knows the 5
between two and three.
Another interesting experiment showed a bird's
6
number sense. A man was
trying to take
a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always
left when she saw him coming. The bird did not
7
until the man left the tower. The man
had an
8
.He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed,
but they did not
9
the bird.The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The
experiment was
10
with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return
to the nest until all the men were 11 .It was not until five men went into the tower
and only four left that they were
12
able to fool the crow.
How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about
fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a
13
group.But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are
14
fooled.
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this
world,and that our human
15
is not much better than a crow's.

A
Imagination and
fantasy
can
play
an important role in achiebving the things we
fear.Children know this very well. Fred Epstein ,in his book If I Make It to Five,tells
a story he heard from one of friends about Tom,a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his
back bone.He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his
imagination.
Tom loved to pretend,and he particularly loved to play superheroes ,Dr Epstein
expained that it was actually a brilliant way for his yound mind to handle the terrifying
and painful life he led.
The day before his thire trip to the operating room,Tom was terrbly afraid.”Maybe
I could go as Superman ,”he whispered to his mom.Hearing this, the moter hesitated for
a while.She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装),不痛 finally she agreed.
The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman,showing off through the hospital
halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.And Tom,with
the strength of his fantasy,successfully made it through the operation.
The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only.we all hace the power
to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought
possible,to go through those
things that seem impossible,and to achieve what we never believed we could,Just as
Dr.Epstein puts it ,”If you can dream it,you can do it”
It doesn‘t mean that you should dress as a superhero for you next job
interview.But,next time you are texted in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it
woule take to overcome it .Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge
and do it in your maind first.So,let your imagination run wild,and dare to dream.

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up
in the right family,and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I’m not
going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do .some
people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence,and
that’sjust the reality of how life is .
However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it
more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to ger really good at something,one needs
to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To become great at certain
things,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.
If you don’t enjoy what you do ,it is going fo feel like unbearable pain and will likely
make you quit well before you ever become good ai it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you
know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s
sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking
that way does you no good,and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out,almost
to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put
in the time and work,don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won’t
guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become
really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

D.succeeding in life
33.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.
A.work makes one feel pain
B.one tends to enjoy his work
C.one gives up his work easily
D.it takes a lot of time to succeed
34.What can we infer from Paragraph
4?
A.Successful people like to show their great skills.
B.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
35.What is the main theme of the passage?
A.Having a goal is vital to success.

C.One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D.Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.

One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England,an adolescent boy showed
up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale,
and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me.
"This boy has
lost his family," he wrote.
"He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others,
and I'm very worried about him. Can you help?”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems
psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the
best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically
The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up
to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of
chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon 一 in
complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit
I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed. took the chess board and pieces from the
shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if
he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses
that I respect his suffering.”Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked
up at me suddenly.
"Ifs your turn," he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle
club. He wrote to me a few times. about his biking with some friends, and about his plan
to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one 一 without any words 一
can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly
touch, and an ear that listens.
36. When he first met the author, David
.
A. felt a little excited
