The language of numbers is called MATHEMATICS. You are learning it in school now. The
simplest kind is called ARITHMATIC. In high school and college you will learn other kind of
mathematics. To help all of us with mathematics, machines have been invented. They let us do
problems faster and with fewer mistakes. We know that the abacus or counting board was first of
these machines. It was invented many thousands of years ago, but it is still being used in China,
Japan, and other countries. Today, computers are used all over the world. These computers seem to
think. Of course, they really don’t. They do only what people tell them to do. But they do it much
better and faster than a person could. Inside, a computer may look very confusing to you. But the
people who run it know just what to do. They can make a computer store up facts and give them to
other people. They can make it solve hard problems and help us to live better. Like people all over the
world, these machines speak the same language: NUMBERS.
1. ......................... The simplest kind of mathematics is Arithmetic.
2. .......................... In high school and college you will learn arithmetic.
3. .......................... Machines do problems faster than men.
4. ......................... The counting board is no longer being used in the world.
5. .......................... Computers were invented a thousand years ago.
VI. Read the following passage and answer the questions below.
In Australia most children attend primary school from the age of five. Only two percent of
children of primary school age are educated at home. Some children who go to school also take up
extra activities such as learning to play a musical instrument or dancing, and they go to private classes
for these and for school subjects they find difficult or particularly interesting. Ninety percent of the
population go on to secondary school, but a much smaller percentage pass the final year of secondary
school examinations and complete a university degree. At the moment university students and
graduates make up less than a third of the total population. Australian universities are modern and
well equipped. Most teaching is by a combination of lectures, tutorials and practical classes. The
humanities course like History and Philosophy, usually involve a lot of extra reading in the library. To
become a primary or secondary school teacher, it is usually necessary to study at university for three
years or more.
