Do you know Pi (π) Day? Every year on March 14, mathematicians and math lovers around the world celebrate Pi Day. Pi is the ratio (比率) of a circle’s circumference (圆周) to its diameter. The idea itself is as easy as pie. Even middle schoolers can easily understand it. But the exact value of Pi is difficult to calculate (计算). We only know it starts with 3. 14159265. The number goes on and on. The digits never repeat regularly.   

People have worked on the value of Pi for thousands of years. In the fifth century, Zu Chongzhi correctly calculated Pi to seven decimal places (小数位). There were no computers or calculators at that time. Zu didn’t even use an abacus (算盘). For 900 years after him, nobody managed to calculate the number any further. That’s why Pi is also known as “Zu’s ratio”.

Fast-forward to 2021, some Swiss scientists calculated Pi to 62. 8 trillion (万亿) decimal places. It took them 108 days, but it was a new world record. In reality, we seldom need more than 15 decimal places of Pi. Then why did scientists work out the 62. 8 trillionth digit? Was it a waste of time?

Jan de Gier is a mathematician in Australia. He says that calculating Pi is like the Olympic Games. It is not useful in itself, but it teaches us about what is possible. We may never finish calculating Pi. Pi mirrors life itself, as our lives are also full of unknowns. We don’t know what’s going to happen. We’ll face many problems, but many surprises are waiting for us, too.

1. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 1?

A．Pi.

B．Pi Day.

C．A pie.

D．A circle.

2. Why was Pi also called Zu’s ratio?

A．Zu Chongzhi calculated Pi without an abacus.

B．Zu Chongzhi found Pi 900 years earlier than others.

C．Nobody worked on the value of Pi before Zu Chongzhi.

D．Zu Chongzhi was the first to calculate Pi to seven decimal places correctly.

3. In 2021, the new record of decimal places of Pi was ________.

A．7

B．15

C．3. 14 trillion

D．62. 8 trillion

4. According to the text, what does the writer want to tell us?

A．We should continue to calculate Pi.

B．Calculating Pi is an item of the Olympic Games.

C．We should try to explore the unknowns in our life.

D．We should know more information about Pi Day.

5. What can be the best title for the text?
