以下是一篇短文。请阅读全文并从下列六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。

People started using the abacus（算盘）over four thousand years ago to calculate numbers. It was used in ancient China, Rome, Egypt and Greece. 1． The Chinese abacus is called Suan Pan and is made of beads and thin rods. The beads and rods are usually kept in a wooden frame. A horizontal bar divides the abacus into upper and lower parts. The upper part has two beads on each rod and the lower parts have five beads on each rod. 2． Each bead above the bar represents five while each bead below the bar represents one. There are more than seven rods for a Chinese abacus. Starting from right to left, the first rod is one, the next rod is ten, the third rod is hundred, etc.

When using the Chinese abacus, the first thing to do is to clear the numbers. 3． When a bead above the bar is moved down, or when a bead below the bar is moved up, it becomes active and takes value. Recording numbers on an abacus is quite easy. To represent one, simply push up one bead on the first rod below the dividing bar. 4． It is quick and easy to add or subtract numbers with an abacus. 5． A really good abacus user can even calculate square roots.

A．A five is represented by moving down one bead above the bar.

B．But it is much slower, many people don’t like to use it.

C．This is done by moving all beads away from the dividing bar.

D．Beads in the two parts have different values.

E．However, it takes more time and practice to do multiplication and division.

F．Today some people still use the abacus.

Are you more likely to jump into action when a new idea come to mind or just daydream about?

A lark (云雀) made her nest (鸟巢) in a field of young wheat (小麦). In this nest were three baby larks. The mother had to fly away every day to get them ________. All around them the wheat grew tall and began to ripen (成熟).

One day, a farmer and his son came to the ________. The farmer said, “This wheat is ripe. We must ask someone to help us ________ it.”

A. 回答问题

Of course you don’t want to be sick in your vacation. So what can you do while traveling? There are three things you should remember: relax, sleep and eat well.

A vacation is a time for relaxing, but very often it is not. Think about what you do when you are a tourist. There are so many places to visit: shops, parks, museums and so on. You may spend most of the days walking around these places. This can be very tiring. Do not ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body. A weak body gets sick easily. So sit down for a few hours in a nice place. In good weather, look for a quiet park bench.

Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. Your hotel room may be noisy, or the bed may be too hard. Or you may want to stay up late at night. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. The extra hour can make a big difference.

Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of food. Your body needs fresh fruit, vegetables, milk and cheese.

So remember this: If you want to enjoy your vacation, take good care of yourself. Give our body some rest. Get enough sleep and eat healthy food.

Dickens is considered to be a great English writer. He’s very famous not only in Britain, but also in many other c1． in the world. He was born in 1812 and he lived in London. He wrote lots of books, and he also liked acting. He was an a2． . Maybe it’s interesting to hear that but that’s w3． his books were so good.

He gave public readings of his stories that were very popular. His stories first appeared in a magazine in parts. People always expected to read the n4． part.

He wrote a lot stories, and most of them were p5． . There were also films and plays of them. Oliver Twist became a famous musical play,and Great Expectations became a wonderful f6． .

Dickens’ early life was very hard. His family was p7． ,and his mother sent him to work in a factory when he was 12. He hated it, b8． he used his experiences in his writing. He married Catherine Hogarth and they had a big family. He continued to write u9． he died. When he died in 1870, he was w10． a story. But what a pity! We’ll never know how it ended.

Some friends and I went to a bar to have a few beers before dinner. Beer is expensive in Japan and so we only ordered a few pitchers（罐）.

We finished the beers, asked for the bill and left the money on the table. The bill was 4,990 yen.We left 5,000 yen, thanked the waiter and left. As we were walking in the street, we heard someone shouting behind us, waving some money.We quickly realized it was the waiter from the bar.

He didn’t speak English. We didn’t speak Japanese. But he was running to follow us just for giving us the 10 yen in change. A tip（小费）doesn’t come in Japan. When you leave a tip, it’s only the problem of the waiter who has to give it back to you. From then on, I never tipped but waited for my change everywhere I went in Japan.

Later I was in Shenzhen, China,and a family stopped me and my wife. They asked us if they could have their children take a photo with us. They were visitors from another part of the country and had never seen an American before.

A similar thing happened in Shanghai. This time I was alone walking across the Waibaidu Bridge, and a group of teenage girls asked me (using sign language this time) if I could pose with them for a photo. I was happy to do it and let them laugh a lot when taking the photo.

Another surprise took place when I was in Pudong, Shanghai and couldn’t find the way to the subway. I asked a man near me for help. He nodded quickly and told me to follow him. We went about 4 blocks （街区） and then he pointed to the entrance, smiled, turned and walked away. I had no time to offer him a tip. However, it’s a good thing because giving a tip for the help might be an insult（侮辱）. I couldn’t believe that he had helped a stranger so much.

Again, similar experiences often happen to me across China. The friendliness of the people, their kindness, and their warmth are wonderful. However, I hardly experience such kindness in my own country.
