美國號稱世界頭號軍事大國,其武力干涉幾乎滲透到全球,有人開玩笑說:“只要五角大樓打個噴嚏,整個地球都會震動。”五角大樓是什么? 讓我們揭開它神秘的面紗,好好地認識一下這座建筑的運作職能吧。
The Pentagon,or the headquarters of the US Department of Defense,is one of the largest office buildings in the world,taking up a total land of 583 acres.The five-sided structure itself occupies an area of 29 acres.Each of its five outside wails is 921 feet long.It has three times the floor space as the Empire State Building or half again as much space as either of the New York's World Trade Center towers.
Working inside this huge building are over 25 000 employees,one half of them being civilians and the other half members of the U.S. armed forces.During the last year of the Second World War there were 37 000 people,both military and civilian,working inside the Pentagon.In the Korean and Vietnam War periods,31 000.The employees are scattered among hundreds of offices that occupy a floor space of 3705793 square feet.
While inside the building they tell time by 4 200 clocks,drink from 685 water fountains,utilize 280 rest rooms,consume 30 000 cups of coffee,6 000 tins of milk and 5 000 bottles of soft drinks of various kinds every day,with a total staff of 600 persons preparing and serving food and drinks to the Pentagon employees,daily.

Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive psychologists has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which intellectual progress depends. Children were observed as they slowly grasped or, as the case might be bumped into concepts that adults take for granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged as water pours from a short stout glass into a tall thin one.
Psychologists have since demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile, readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed into finding the total. Such studies have suggested that the rudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort. They have also suggested that the very concept of abstract numbers--the idea of aloneness, a prerequisite for doing anything more mathematically demanding than setting a table—is itself far from innate.
1. What's the main idea about this passage?
A. The use of mathematics in child psychology.
B. Trends in teaching mathematics to children.
C. The development of mathematical ability in children.
D. The fundamental concepts of mathematics that children must learn.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that children normally learn simple counting——.
A. soon after they learn to talk
B. after they reach second grade in school
C. by looking at the clock
D. when they begin to be mathematically mature
3. According to the passage, when small children were asked to count a pile of red and blue pencils they——.
A. counted the number of pencils of each color
B. counted only the pencils of their favorite color
C. guessed at the total number of pencils
D. subtracted the number of red pencils from the number of blue pencils
4. What does the word “They” (Para. 3, Line 5) refer?
A. Children B. Pencils C. Mathematicians D. Studies

Pub Etiquette in Britain
英國的酒吧禮儀
在公共場所,英國人講究先來后到,但在生意興隆的酒吧里看不到排隊的現象,整個酒吧井然有序。如果有一天你到英國酒吧消遣,你應該注意些什么呢?
Amazingly for British, who love queues, there is no formal line-up-the bar staff are skilled at knowing whose turn it is. You are permitted to try to attention, but there are rules about how to do this. Do not call out, tap coins on the counter, snap your finger or wave like a drowning swimmer. Do not scowl or sign or roll your eyes. And whatever you do, do not ring the bell hanging behind the counter-this is used by the landlord to signal closing time. The key thing is to catch the bar worker’s eyes. You could also hold an empty glass or some money, but do not wave them about. Do adopt an expectant, hopeful, even slightly anxious facial expression. If you look too contented and complacent, the bar staff may assume you are already being served.
Always say“please”and try to remember some of the British bar staffs hates. They do not like people to keep others waiting while they make up their minds. They don’t like people standing idly against the bar when there are a lot of customers waiting for service. And they do not like people who wait until the end of the order before asking for such drinks as Guinness stout which take considerably longer to pour than other drinks. If you follow these tips you should be able to buy yourself a drink. Speaking of tips, you should never offer the bar staff a cash gratuity. The correct behavior is to offer them a drink. Pubs pride themselves on their egalitarian. A tip in cash would be a reminder of their service role, whereas the offer of a drink is a friendly gesture.

People appear to be born to compute. The numerical skills of children develop so early and so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical maturity guiding their growth. Not long after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with impressive accuracy—one plate, one knife, one spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs. Soon they are capable of noting that they have placed five knives, spoons and forks on the table and, a bit later, which this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware. Having thus mastered addition, they move on to subtraction. It seems almost reasonable to expect that if a child were secluded on a desert island at birth and received seven years later, he or she could enter a second grade mathematics class without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment.
