Let us know your view. Comments Museums are not only there for enjoyment; they are education. This is why they must be free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate, let the wealthy pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to view it because of cost is wrongKrista Chen(US)-Age 15 Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to appreciate art. Generally people respect things that are difficult or costly to get Museums should require regular visitors to pay a fee, but provide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students who can appreciate them more Fred Smith(New Zealand)-Age 14 Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee. Rob Sanchez (Australia)-Age 17 There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support. They have a social responsibility too.

But do you know it too men millions of years to be able to think so? In fact, one of the most difficult things to teach children is the idea of numbers.In ancient times, when a man wanted to tell how many animals he owned. he had no system(系统) of numbers to use. He put a stone into a bag for each animal. The more animals, the more stones he had. It may explain why the word calculate comes from the Latin word calculus, calculus means stone.Then, man used lines to count. People would just draw a line for each thing they wanted to count, but they had no word to tell the number.Later on, people used fingers. Again we have word that goes back to this. The word digit comes from the Latin word digitus. It means finger! And the fact that we have 10 fingers led to the use of 10 in the system of numbers.The number system we use today was invented by the Hindus in India thousands of years ago and was brought to Europe during 8th to 11th by Arab traders(商人). In this system, people count things with ten numbers. 1. 2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.and 0. It is decimal system(十进制), that is, it is built on the base of 10.（1）How many ways of counting things are introduced to us in the passage？ A . One.B . Two.C . Three.D . Four.（2）If A and B each drew four lines to count their own sheep. how many sheep did they have together？ A . Four.B . Six.C . Eight.D . Ten.（3）Why do people use 10 in the system of numbers？ A . Because 10 is a popular number.B . Because we only have 10 fingers.C . Because we have no word to tell the number.D . Because we have no system of numbers to use.（4）Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？ A . Numbers and tradingB . Ways of counting In Modern TimesC . Animals and calculatingD . Development of counting System5. （10分） My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him.
