36、a story of people trying hard to create machines that complete many tasks automatically, such as adding up large numbers, controlling airplanes in flights, etc. many of the earliest methods of recording and counting data still remain mysteries (something that is not understood).In England you can vi
37、sit Stonehenge, where a mysterious collection of large stones has stood since 1,500 BC. Scientists have never discovered the stones purpose. However, by observing the way the sun shines between the stones, many people believe Stonehenge was used to predict the seasons and eclipses (蚀) of the sun and
38、 the moon.Another early method of computing was a brass calculator, which existed in Spain nearly 1,000 years ago. The machine was shaped like a human head, with numbers instead of teeth. The shape became its undoing; some people were afraid the machine was supernatural, and destroyed it. In early r
39、ecorded history, calculators that used the sun, or objects in the night sky, were developed to be used on ships to explore the world beyond the Tigris-Euphrates Valley of southwestern Asia. One such device, dating from the first century, worked with a system of gears designed to track the orbits of
40、stars and planets. These orbits became the marked routes for ships.In ancient Rome and Greece, one of the earliest machines ever used for processing numbers was the abacus. This simple collection of beads has been used for centuries in China and other Asian countries. The abacus is built with column
41、s of beads attached to a rectangular wooden frame. Inside the wooden frame is a crossbar that separates each column of beads into two sections. In the Chinese version there are two beads above the bar and five below. Each column of beads means a different range of numbers. The first column from the
42、right represents ones, the second tens, the third hundreds, etc. By moving beads, calculations are quickly completed. Because values are shown by positions, the abacus is very valuable in teaching arithmetic to blind students.Experienced users operate the abacus very quickly. After World War II, a s
43、peed competition was arranged in Japan between the fastest calculator operator in the US Army and an employee of the Japanese Post Office using an abacus. The American was defeated easily by the moving beads of his opponent.59. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?A. Old methods to
