Many non-count nouns combine with a set of nouns showing some part of material or abstract notion. Here are some typical partitives for material and abstract nouns:

 

a slice of bacon a slice of cake   a piece a lump of coal
a piece a loaf   of bread a piece a lump of sugar
a piece a stick   of chalk a blade of grass    
a piece a bar   of chocolate   a piece a block of ice  
a piece a sheet of paper a piece a strip of land
         

 

a grain of rice     a piece an article of furniture
a pile a heap   of rubbish   a piece of evidence   a fit of passion   a piece of research
a piece a word   of advice
a piece an item of information, news
         

 

§ 178. In some cases there is no obvious logical reason for the as­signment of various English nouns to the count or non-count class. In Russian and English the attribution of the corresponding nouns may be different. Here are some cases when the classes of nouns in English and Russian do not coincide:

English non-count nouns Russian count nouns
advice (they gave us some valuable advice) news progress (they are making slow progress) research (do some research) knowledge (you have a fairlygood knowledge of the subject) совет/советы новость/новости успех/успехи исследование/исследования, научная работа знание/знания
English singular invariable nouns Russian plural invariable nouns
ink cream yeast money hair fruit applause chess чернила сливки дрожжи деньги волосы фрукты аплодисменты шахматы

Note:

Hair is a count noun in the sense of волос, волосок. Fruit as a count noun means kinds of fruit: dried fruits keep long.
