Your Answer for Question 1:
Nope it does not. do whiles and goto can be dropped. Do whiles can easily be written with just a while and a little bit of extra code. Goto can be replaced by maybe a function call. Most of these extra operations are added probably to make the code a lot clearer, mainly to make it easier for humans.

Your Answer for Question 2:
C has ==, !=, >, <, <=, >=
MIPS has beq, bne

By having a lot fewer, it simplifies MIPS allowing for it to perform a lot quicker. These instructions I believe have to be built on the hardware, and the less material getting in the way of signals, the faster the signal can travel.

Your Answer for Question 3:
Nothing was really too difficult in today's reading. I did find it interesting discovering how computers at the hardware level perform operations. I've been familiar with computer hardware, but not actually how they work, and through this I am beginning to see how they function on the inside.
