Great Wall of China!
“Never Give up on Your Dreams” was his motto and he hasn’t given up yet.

The history of inventions leading up to the modern computer is a story of people
trying hard to create machines that complete many tasks automatically, such as
adding up large numbers, controlling airplanes in flights, etc. many of the earliest
methods of recording and counting data still remain mysteries (something that is
not understood).
In England you can visit Stonehenge, where a mysterious collection of large
stones has stood since 1,500 BC. Scientists have never discovered the stones purpose.
However, by observing the way the sun shines between the stones, many people believe
Stonehenge was used to predict the seasons and eclipses (蚀) of the sun and the
moon.
Another early method of computing was a brass calculator, which existed in Spain
nearly 1,000 years ago. The machine was shaped like a human head, with numbers
instead of teeth. The shape became its undoing; some people were afraid the machine
was supernatural, and destroyed it. In early recorded history, calculators that
used the sun, or objects in the night sky, were developed to be used on ships to
explore the world beyond the Tigris-Euphrates Valley of southwestern Asia. One such
device, dating from the first century, worked with a system of gears designed to
track the orbits of stars and planets. These orbits became the marked routes for
ships.
In ancient Rome and Greece, one of the earliest machines ever used for
processing numbers was the abacus. This simple collection of beads has been used
for centuries in China and other Asian countries. The abacus is built with columns
of beads attached to a rectangular wooden frame. Inside the wooden frame is a
crossbar that separates each column of beads into two sections. In the Chinese
version there are two beads above the bar and five below. Each column of beads means
a different range of numbers. The first column from the right represents ones, the
second tens, the third hundreds, etc. By moving beads, calculations are quickly
completed. Because values are shown by positions, the abacus is very valuable in
teaching arithmetic to blind students.
Experienced users operate the abacus very quickly. After World War II, a speed
competition was arranged in Japan between the fastest calculator operator in the
US Army and an employee of the Japanese Post Office using an abacus. The American
was defeated easily by the moving beads of his opponent.
59. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?
A. Old methods to manage data.
B. The great inventions in science.
