Have you ever wondered 1 you would do to solve math problems if you didn’t have a calculator or computer or even pencil and paper? People in China have used an ancient counting tool 2 (perform) mathematical operations. The Chinese calculator’s name is "suanpan", but it is known 3 "abacus" in English. The abacus, 4 (date) back to the Han Dynasty, is one of the symbols of Chinese people’s wisdom.
The abacus has had a far-reaching influence on science and technology, language, literature, art, architecture and many 5 fields of China and even some areas of the world. Meanwhile, the abacus has affected people’s characters, such as honesty and diligence. For centuries, this simple counting device 6 (pass) down through different dynasties with its original design and purpose 7 (actual) unchanged.
Calculations can be made on it immediately, with the device storing the results in "visual storage" much like a computer display. When working with an amount of 8 (number), an abacus is practically faster, since it has a 9 (good) "keyboard" than the Western calculators. Anyway, the small abacus has made an outstanding contribution in the fields of human intellectual development, just as the computer does in today’s 10 (social).
