The Best Language for Learning Math
What is the best language for learning math? Hint: You are not reading it.
Chinese, Japanese and Korean all have simpler number words. They express math concepts
（概念）more c__ 68___than English. The language gap has drawn lots of attention. Several
recent studies have linked weaker math abilities in English-speaking children to English number
words.
Chinese,for example, has just ten basic number words. English,however,has more than
two dozen. The trouble starts at“e___ 69___.”English has a word for that number.
Chinese,Japanese and Korean have words that can be translated as “ten-one"----spoken with the
"ten"first. That makes it easier for children to u__70____ the place value. Students can easily see
that the number system is based on units of 10.
English number words over 10 don't make the place value(数位）clear.Words for numbers
13 to 19 change the order of the ones(个位）and tens.Children are more likely to confuse 17
with71. So,children working with English number words have a harder time doing complex
c__71___.They make more mistakes.
It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use
the“make-a-ten" method. When they a___72____ two numbers, Chinese students often break
down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For example, 9 plus 5
becomes 9 plus 1plus 4. This method greatly helps students work out math problems. T__73__,
Many teachers in America are teaching their students the “make-a-ten"method. However,they
are having a hard time because of the confusing English number words.
Now,you should feel l___74_____that you are learning math in China.Thanks to your
mother language,all the math problems have become less difficult and less confusing.

D.Answer the questions.(根据短文内容回答下列问题）（7分）
Thanksgiving is a holiday that celebrates the love of family. And what is the better way to
celebrate it than to share a delicious meal together? After we finish eating and cleaning the
dishes,we take a special bone from the turkey. We call this bone the "wishbone. " It is shaped
like a will have his or her “wish”granted(满足）. You are not supposed to tell anyone your wish
or it won’t come true. But I can tell you what my wish was. I always wished that my parents could
live forever because I loved them so much.
Thomas Derksen, a famous reporter,recently carried out an unusual street interview in
Shanghai. He walked up to people and asked them to call their parents on the phone and say,”I
love you. "Those who completed the "challenge" would be given a surprise red
envelope.Unfortunately, many of the people Thomas approached refused to do so because they
were too shy.
I felt sorry as I watched Derksen's video. It is never too early or too late to tell your parents
you love them. I “wish” I could have told my parents I loved them instead of making it my secret
wish. Sadly, it’s too late now.
So take my advice. This coming Thanksgiving, tell the special people in your life that you
love them. No one wants to end up getting the short end of the bone. Love is better when it is
told than when it is wished for.
