Why are Arabic figures used everywhere in the world ? In the past, other counting figures once existed in many countries, but they all died away. The Roman figures, for example, were popular in Europe before the 13th century. However, they are hardly in use now, except on some clocks and watches, and on other rare (稀有的) occasions(场合). Look at the following and you will know why it is so.
The Romans used seven letters, each standing for a different number, I for I, V for 5, X for 10, L for 50, C for 100, D for 500, and M for 1000. To express a small number the Romans would use repetitions or additions, or subtractions(减法). For instance, Il means 2, XXX means 30 (repetition); VII means 7 (addition) and IV expresses 4 (subtraction).
To express a number a thousand times larger, they put a line above the number. Thus, XVI=16000, and CDXLVII=447000. To show the year 1993 in Roman figures, it will be "MCMXCIII." The inconvenience is quite clear. Besides, it would be difficult to express in Roman figures a decimal point(小数点) or a fraction(分数).
The Arabic numbers, on the other hand, avoid all this trouble. First they are decimal (十进制). Second they are easy to write. It is these strong points that make the Arabic figures accepted by people all over the world.
51 .There are Roman figures to show a number.
A. seven B. five C. four D. three
52. The number LV means
A. a thousand times B. 55000 C. 5500 D. more than five thousand
53. If we show the year 1548 in Roman figures, it will be
A. MVMIVIII B.MDXLVIII C.MDMXXXXVIII D. MDXLVIII
54.Why are Arabic figures widely used in the world?
A. Other counting figures died away.
B. Arabic figures are convenient and easy to express decimal point and fraction.
C. Arabic figures are decimal. D. Both B and C.

MADRID-What is it that makes people happy ? Youth, health, a good job, good looks, a flashy car ? None of these things, Spanish experts say.
The concept(概念) of happiness is coming under increasingly close examination in Spain.
As the nation rises to the club of the world's wealthiest countries, people are discovering that material things do not bring happiness.
"Most people use money as a measure of human value", says Jesus Ynfante, author of a book on Spain's 300 biggest fortunes.
"Expensive products are regarded as the best. The rich are admired simply for being rich, "Ynfante said.
Yet psychologists(心理学家) warn that happiness cannot be bought. They advise people to look for it in human relations (心理学家) and in the small pleasures of everyday life.
Many people regard happiness as a moment of ecstatic pleasure(狂喜)-something that, by definition(KY,), cannot last -- while others speak of it as peace and acceptance of oneself. Polls (问卷调查) in different countries indicate(表明) that between 65 and 85 per cent of the world's population regard themselves as reasonable happy.
Around 40 per cent of a person's happiness is thought to be determined (决定) by genetics (遗传学) , while the rest depends on childhood environment (环境)and the process of growing up.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about happiness is that it has little to do with age, health, wealth, or other values thought to be important in Western society.
For most Spaniards, happiness is linked with feeling close to other people.
Happy people accept their limitations and set themselves reachable goals(目标), experts say.
There are life style choices which favour happiness, such as exercise, eating
carbohydrates(碳水化合物) and exposing oneself to sunlight
But the main secret of happiness is to take pleasure in small things.
"If you are given a choice between eternal(永久的) happiness and a cheese sandwich, take the sandwich," advises musician Julian Hemandez.
55. Spain, as this passage tells us,
A. has built more clubs than the other countries
B. has owned the largest group of experts
C. has become one of the richest countries in the world
D. has produced the most wealth(财富) in the world.
56. It can be concluded that Jesus Ynfante is
A. a famous expert B. a famous psychologist
C. one of the richest Spaniards D. familiar with the richest Spaniards
57.Happy people, as we can find in this passage,
A. are always full of feelings B. are always born in rich families
C. always enjoy every achievement they get D. always look down upon themselves
58.What Julian Hemandez advises at the end of this passage suggests that
A. he is not a happy musician. B. he is leading a hard life
C. he doesn't agree with the idea shown in this passage
D. he is homourous (幽默的) and happy
C
I used to be the best runner on my block. 1 even used to beat all the boys. They would get so mad, too. My brother would make all kinds of bets (打堵) and get all those boys to race with me and they always said. "Oh, come on ! She's only a girl!" And they would think they could beat me --- no sweat. But then I'd beat them every time. I only lost one race, and that was when Tiger threw something in my way and tripped(绊倒) me. So that wasn't fair anyway. But those boys sure would get mad ! Mostly just because I'm a girl: They just didn't think girls were as good as boys.
But when t was running, I never even used to think about the race or winning or anything. I would just listen to hear my feet on the pavement.(铺过的道路) And I'd take long steps…… and I'd hear myself breathing. I could even tell when my face was turning red.
But all that was before the accident.
Now I can't run. I'11 never be able to run again. The only thing I hear now on the pavement is the rubber on the wheels of my wheelchair. Sometimes when I think about it, I get all sad inside. When I'm alone in my room sometimes I even cry.
Sometimes it's weird and I can't cry, even though I want to; t just get so mad inside that I want to punch someone. That's when l usually end up yelling at my mother or throwing the pillow around or just not talking at all.
I mean, it's not fair! Why should I have to be in this wheelchair all my life when all my friends are running all over the place ? Especially when I'm the best runner.
Or I used to be, anyway.
But you know what gets me mad the most ? Those people who don't even know me and see me and talk like I'm not even there. They call me poor and sick and sad and shake their heads-right in front of me, as if I couldn't understa
