Some problems are difficult to solve in our life. However, there are a lot of number expressions (表达) that can help. Today, I will talk about expressions about numbers.
Sometimes we can "kill two birds with one stone". That is to say, we can complete two goals with only one effort or action. But we must remember that "two wrongs don't make a right". If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him.
When I was a young child in school, I liked learning Maths. My teacher used to "give me three cheers" when I did well in Maths, praising (赞扬) my hard work and good grades.
When I was in high school, some of my friends once had trouble doing their schoolwork. In fact, they did not care if they could finish high school. But it seemed that they really got a surprise when they completed their studies and graduated from high school. They were on cloud nine.
Nine times out of ten, students who do well in school often find good jobs. Some people work in an office doing the same things every day at nine-to-five jobs. However, it's good to know happiness at work isn't just about money.
(1)、What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A、The ways to find answers. B、Two problems are difficult to solve. C、The importance of working together. D、The meanings of two expressions about numbers.(2)、When we ride a bike to a park instead of driving a ear, we can save money as well as protecting the environment. Which expression can we use here?A、Put two and two together. B、Two heads are better than one. C、Kill two birds with one stone.

Many Chinese idioms contain numbers, such as caigao badou (才高八斗) and banjin baliang (半斤八两). Why do they have something to do with numbers?
A talented person
The idiom caigao badou is used to describe a talented person. It is based on a story about Cao Zhi (192-232), the younger son of Cao Cao (155-220), a warlord (诸侯) who lived during the Three Kingdoms period.
Cao Zhi was one of the best poets of his time. Besides his poetry, his fu (赋) was also excellent. His works, such as Luoshen Fu (《洛神赋》), are full of beautiful descriptions.
Xie Lingyun (385-433) was a famous poet who lived during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was quite proud of his own writing, but also admired Cao Zhi's talent. He once said to others: "Heaven only gave the world one dan of talent, and Cao Zhi alone had eight dou. I deserve (值得) one dou, and all the other poets should share the last one dou."
The dan used was an ancient Chinese measurement for grain. One dan is equal to 10 dou. The idiom can be translated into "eight bushels of talent" in English.
Standing tall
In China, people often say "standing like a 7-chi-tall man"(堂堂七尺男儿). How tall exactly is a 7-chi-tall man?
When people say qichi naner (七尺男儿), they're usually referring to a man who is tall and strong. However, it's not easy to tell exactly how long seven chi is. As a traditional Chinese unit of length, the measurement of chi has changed often over time.
In earlier times, such as the Shang Dynasty (16th century-11th century BC), one chi was about 16 cm. So seven chi would be equal to about 110 cm. A 7-chi-tall man at the time would be a little person.
When it came to the Three Kingdoms period (220-280), one chi became longer and reached 24.2 cm. So seven chi would be about 170 cm, an average height today.
In the following dynasties, chi kept growing longer. It became about 30 cm in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and finally 35.5 cm in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It means that a 7-chi-tall man would be 248.5 cm. That would be a real giant!
Same difference
The idiom banjin baliang (半斤八两) means "same difference".
One jin and eight liang used to be the same. Chinese people measured weight differently in the past. At that time, one jin (500 grams) was made up of 16 liang. So half of one jin was eight liang.
People used a steelyard balance (杆秤) to weigh things. It had 16 gradations (秤星) on its arm. Each gradation stands for one star in the sky. The 16 gradations stand for 16 stars – the Big Dipper (北斗七星), Sagittarius and the stars of fortune, prosperity and longevity (福禄寿星).
It was said that if you cheated someone while trading, you would lose the blessing (庇佑) of these stars. This helped to keep people honest while trading.
After 1949, China started to do more international trade. To make things easier, we changed 16 liang for one jin into 10 liang for one jin.

How has technology made your life easier? When you go to a shopping mall, you can enjoy Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one your phone. In fact, all of these can be seen as the first building blocks of a smart city.
The idea of a smart city was suggested by US company IBM in 2010. Actually, a smart city is a city that uses digital technology, such networks and the "Internet of things", to improve city planning, save money and resources, and make life more convenient.
Smart cities will allow us to save resources. By 5G networks to check the usage of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out to use these resources more efficiently. example, water and gas pipes could remind repair workers when there is a leak. Air pollution could be more closely monitored, too.
Of course, it will take time to build the smart cities of the future. But since we've already successful examples, it won't be long until cities join in. Tech Republic says that by 2050, about 60 percent of people worldwide will live in smart cities.
