　 The British love sending text messages. They send more than 2.5 billion every month. And most people now understand the language of text, with its numbers and missing 　　61　 . In fact, when a student at a Scottish school wrote the whole article “in txt”, his teacher 　　62　 　him “C+ 4 f4t ” (“C+ for effort ”).

Although texting(发短信) is a　 　　63　 　way of staying in touch with your friends, it can also bring problems. In 2005, a British teenager became the 　　64　 　person in the world to receive treatment for an addiction(沉溺) to text messaging. In one year, the nineteen-year-old spent about ￡4,500　 　　65　 　texts.

For some people, text messaging has　 　　66　 　their lives. For example, James Trusler from Sussex in England travels around the world taking part in texting competitions and TV shows. He’s the world’s 　　67　 　texter and recently set a new world record　 　　68　 　he was appearing on Australian TV. He texted:“The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serraslmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human.” 　　69　 　took him 67 seconds. James sends a lot of text messages—about 2,500 a month. But he doesn’t get big bills 　　70　 　he works for a large mobile phone company!

　 How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages? Do you count on your fingers?Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.

People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States,people think begin counting with their first fingers,which they extend or stick out.They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指）to count to five.Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten.In China,people count by using different finger positions.In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.

Besides ways of finger counting,scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers.Some languages have only a few words for numbers,and others have no words for numbers.A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的）people in Australia.These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers.They don’t even have word for numbers.However,they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.

In a similar study,researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe(部落） in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three.”.They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees,” “more trees,” or “many trees.” Professor Edward Gibson said that mist people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count.They could learn,but is’t not useful in their culture,so they’ve never picked it up.”

Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量）,not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting.Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives.Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math,too.
