Ray Charles, a black singer and pianist of the USA. He had won 12 Grammy Awards (格莱美奖) and performed at 10,000 concerts around the world. Many musicians called him simply “the Genius” (天才).
Ray Charles was born into a poor family, without a father. When he was 5 years old, his younger brother died, and around the same time, Charles started to lose his sight. By the age of 7 he was completely blind. He had already been learning the piano for a year, and when he went blind, his mother knew this would be the only way he would make any money in the future. All his life, Charles remembered her saying: “Do it right, or don’t do it at all.”
Later he went to a school for blind and deaf children. There the teachers also encouraged him to study music. Sadly, while he was still at school, his mother died. He left school and in the early 1950s Charles organized a group of players. He sang, played the piano and wrote music.
He made many classical CDs wit h famous artists such as Elton John and the Beatles.
In 2003 a film of his life Ray was made. The part of Charles was played by a younger actor and musician called Jamie Foxx. The film director brought Foxx to meet Charles. After they had been playing together for two hours, Charles, then aged 73, jumped up and said: “He’s the one ... he can do it.” A year later Charles died aged 74. The film of his life has been as popular as his songs and means that the memory of Charles’ music will live on.

Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a change in number. Human beings are born with this ability. ______________, experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest (巢) has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will notice. However, if you remove two, the bird generally leaves. This means that the bird ______________the difference between two and three.
Another interesting experiment showed a bird's______________number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow (乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not______________ until the man left the tower. The man had an idea. He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they weren't successful in fooling the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was_______________with three men and then with four men. It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they finally managed to take a photo.
How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old______________ notice if something is taken away from a small group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are often very confused.
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human ability is not much better than a crow's.
