Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a in number. Human beings are born with this ability. , 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 .However, if you remove two, the bird leaves. This means that the bird knows the between two and three.
Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 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 until the man left the tower. The man had an .He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not the bird.

But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were .It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 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 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are fooled.
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human is not much better than a crow's.

One day I was in a taxi and we headed __ the airport. We were driving in the lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes，slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and narrowly the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car looked around and started at us.
My taxi driver just and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”．
He that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of ，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment. As their garbage up，they need a place to dump (倒) it and sometimesthey’ll dump it on . Don’t take it personally. Just smile，wave，wish them well，and move on.
Believe me. You’ll be more . Don’t take their garbage and it to other people at work，at home，or on the streets, Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s in your life. Roy Baumeister，a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories rather easily, and you them more frequently.
So...Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you it!
When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”，you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by go of the bad. Have a Garbage Free Day！Have a marvelous，garbage-free day！The seeds you plant today the harvest you reap tomorrow.

Thanks to a combination of young businessmen, large numbers of university students and revitalization (新生) efforts by the local and national governments, today’s Nanjing has an of youthful exuberance (繁茂) that would have been only a few decades ago. , the city, a booming city of 6.5 million on the banks of the Yangtze River some 185 miles west of Shanghai, bears resemblance to the former capital of China that suffered the worst cruelty and violence of World War II.
Nanjing has shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2,500-year history. And in recent years, the city has moved its tragic past to become a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks to its position in the middle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year, travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.
Signs of Nanjing’s wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen, the father of modern China, looks over a busy area.
There is perhaps no more symbol of the city’s transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May. offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world.
Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and student population — there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkins’s international studies school. In fact, art and music in all sorts of places.
On a larger , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract from the neon-bathed streets of its neighbor Shanghai.

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy, becomes unhappy. This from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy their attention to the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the things. They are, , continually unsatisfied. By their words, they complain about the pleasure of society, offend many people, and themselves disagreeable (不受欢迎的) everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of imagination, it has serious in life, since it causes deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most politeness and respect. This puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step speak a word to favor their hopes. If they cause themselves public objections (反对), no one will or excuse them, and many join to criticize their wrongdoings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

Long long ago, a circle missed one piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its piece. But because it was and therefore could roll only very slowly, it the flowers along the way. It with the worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but of them fitted. So it left them all by the side of the road and searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fitted . It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. After it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it , left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
The of the story, I suggest, is that in some strange we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it like to nourish his soul with the dream of something . When we accept that is part of being human and when we can continue rolling life and appreciate it, we will have a wholeness that others can only desire, which , I believe, is _ God asks of us — not “Be perfect”, not “Don’t even make a mistake”, “Be whole”.
