Here are two articles from an
encyclopaedia.
Da Vinci, Leonardo
Leonardo da Vinci(1452-1519) was an Italian painter,
inventor, musician, engineer and scientist.
Da Vinci was born in the countryside. From an early
age, he showed great intelligence and artistic ability. As he grew
older, he learnt to do many different things. His paintings are
very famous, and one, the Mona Lisa, is perhaps the most famous
painting in the world. He also had many inventions. For example,
his notebooks include some interesting drawings of flying machines.

Dinosaurs
Dinosaurs lived on Earth more than 60 million years
before human beings. They lived everywhere on Earth. Some dinosaurs
were as small as chickens. Others were as big as ten elephants.
Some could even fly.
Many dinosaurs ate plants. However, some dinosaurs
liked to eat meat.
Dinosaurs lived on Earth for more than 150 million
years. Then, suddenly, they all died out. Nobody knows why.
However, we can learn about them from their fossils. (See Earth
history)

Australia’s big attractions
Australia is a very big country. It also has many big
attractions.
The Big Banana
The Big Banana is in Coffs Harbour. It was made in 1964 by John
Landy. Landy wanted something to make people come to his fruit
shop, so he built the Big Banana. The idea worked. Many people
visited his fruit shop and took pictures of the Big Banana. Soon
people all over Australia began making big things.
The Big Merino
The Big Merino is in the city of Goulburn. Merinos are a type of
sheep. They can live in dry weather. Some places in Australia are
very dry, so these sheep are very important to the farmers there.
Inside the Big Merino, there is a small museum about the history of
wool in Australia.Visitors can also climb up to the Big Merion’s
head and look at the view through its eyes.

The king and the
rice
A long time ago, there was a king in India. The
king’s favourite game was chess.
One day, a wise old man came to the palace and the
king challenged him to a game. The king promised the old man, “ You
can have any prize if you win the game.”
The old man said, “If I win the game, I’d like one
grain of rice for the first square of the chessboard, two for the
second, four for the third, and then double the amount for each of
the rest of the squares.”
“Is that all?” asked the king. “Wouldn’t you like
gold or silver instead?”
“No, just rice,” replied the old
man.
The king and the old man played the game for a long
time. Finally, the old man won. So the king ordered his men to
collect a bag of rice. He put one grain on the first square, two on
the second, and so on. The king quickly realized the problem ---
even with all the rice in the country, he would still not have
enough rice to put on all the squares!
国王和大米
很久很久以前,有个印度的国王。国王最喜欢的比赛是国际象棋。
有一天,一个睿智的老人来到皇宫,国王向他挑战比赛。国王允诺老人:“如果你赢得比赛你可以拥有任何奖品,。”
老人说“如果我赢得比赛:,我想要一粒大米在棋盘的第一个方格,两粒在第二个,四粒在第三个,然后使每个剩余的方格在数量上加倍。”
“就这些吗?”国王问道。“难道你不想要金银来代替?”
“不,只是大米,老人回答说:。
国王和老人玩了很长时间。最后,老人赢了。国王命令他的助手们收集了一袋大米。他把一粒放在第一个方格,两粒在第二个,以此类推。国王很快意识到这一问题——即使算上这个国家的所有大米,他仍然没有足够的大米放满所有的方格!

Counting before numbers
Before the invention
of written number, people used many different ways to count
numbers.
Before the invention of written numbers, people used
many different ways to count things.
At first, people use their fingers, and even their toes. However,
they could only count small numbers in this way.
After that, they began to make small marks on sticks and bones.
This helped them count bigger numbers. They used them to count the
days of the month, the amount of food and the number of animals
they have.
Then people began to use tokens made from clay or small stones.
This helped them count even bigger numbers. They often put the
tokens on pieces of string so that they could carry them around
easily. This developed into tools like the abacus.
Finally, people began to develop systems of written marks to show
different numbers, and this led to the Hindu---Arabic system(0-9).
We are still using this system today.

Computer
facts
Smaller and better
In the 1940s, the first computers were bigger than
cars. Now computers are becoming smaller and
better.
Some computers are tiny. You may be unaware of them.
There is probably one inside your TV or washing machine. You depend
on computers more than you realize.
What can we do with computers?
We can use computers to calculate. They can calculate
at a faster speed than we can and almost never give wrong answers.
We can also type and draw things with them. In addition, computers
can do important jobs like operating railways and flying planes and
spaceships.
Is a computer cleverer than me?
The answer is “No”. Your brain can produce new ideas
but computers cannot. However, one day computers may be able to a
better job than human beings. For example, they may be better than
doctors at doing their job.
What will happen to us if computers can do all our
jobs? Will we have nothing to do? Computers may change our lives,
but will they make them better?
电脑的事实
越小越好
在1940年代,第一台计算机比汽车大。现在电脑变得越小越好。
一些电脑很小。你可能都没有意识到他们。可能在你的电视或洗衣机里就有一个。你比你了解到的更加依赖电脑。
我们可以用电脑做什么?
我们可以用电脑来计算。他们可以以更快的速度比我们所能计算,几乎从未给错误的答案。我们也可以用它们打字和画画。此外,电脑能做重要的工作如操作铁路系统，驾驶飞机和宇宙飞船。
计算机比我聪明吗?
答案是“不”。你的大脑能产生新想法,但计算机不能。然而,有一天计算机可以比人类更好的工作。例如,他们可能比医生更好地做他们的工作。
如果电脑能做所有的工作会对我们发生什么?我们会无事可做吗?电脑可能会改变我们的生活,但是他们会使生活更好吗?
Unit 4 Inventions
Great inventions
Great inventions change the world. They help people
live a better life. The following are three of the most important
inventions in history.
The wheel
The wheel is perhaps the greatest invention in
history. After its invention, travelling became faster and more
comfortable. A few thousand years ago, people started to use wheels
on carriages. In the early 19th century, the first trains began to
carry passengers. At the start of the 20th century, cars became
popular.
