　　Once there was no zero（零）. To write the number sixty-three, people wrote 63. To write six hundred and three, people wrote 6 3. The space was there to mean "not any " tens. Sometimes people did not remember the space. It was hard to see and to read.

　　Later people used a dot（點）to hold the space. Six hundred and  three looked like this 6.3 . But the dot was hard to see. So people put a circle（圓圈） around it like this 6⊙3. Then people could see the dot. They remembered the space.

　　At last, only the circle around the dot was used. It was like a  zero. This is one story of how the zero came to be used.

　　Now zero has many important uses. Zero tells how many. Can you tell some other ways zero is used? 

判斷下列句子是否符合短文內(nèi)容，符合的用“T”，不符合的用“F”表示。

1. At first, zero was not used by people.　　 

(    )

2. The space between 6 and 3 was easy to see and to read.

(    )

3. When people wrote eight hundred and nine, they would put a  circle with a dot in it between 8 and 9. 

(    )

4. Zero came from the circle around the dot.  

(    )

5. Zero isn't useful in our life.

Letter One

　　Dear Editor(編輯),

　　After I finish my homework, I often go online and chat with my friends．Sometimes I play Internet games．But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer．Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and Internet games harm(傷害)children．Once I went to a net bar(網(wǎng)吧)to play games after school．But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school．I said so because I didn’t want to make them unhappy．I feel bad about it．However, I need to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time．I really want my parents to understand that．Do foreign parents do the same to their children?Please help me．

Letter Two

　　Talk to your parents and be honest(誠實)to them, I think．Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you．It’s never good to do things behind your parents’ backs．They aren’t fools as you think sometimes!Our parents seem to know what is the best for us．Remember：to be honest is the best way．

Rebecca

　　The world is not only hungry，but it is also thirsty for water．This may seem strange to you，since nearly 70 % of the earth's surface is covered with water．But about 97 % of that is sea water，or salt water．Man can only drink and use the other 3 % ——the fresh(清新的)water from rivers，lakes，underground，and other sources．And we can not even use all of that．Even worse，some of it has been made dirty．

　　However，as things stand today，this fresh water is still enough for us．But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly-almost day by day．Only if we take steps to do with this problem now can we get away from a serious world-wide water shortage later on．

　　We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water．One of the first steps is to develop ways of refusing it．Today in most large cities，water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system(下水道系統(tǒng))．From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground places．

　　But even if every large city reused its water，we still would not have enough．All we'd have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove(清除)the salt．If we take these steps we'11 be in no danger of drying up．
