Why do people cry?
The human eyes produces three kinds of tears Basal tears are produced all the time to keep our eyes wet and help us to see Reflex tears clean our eyes when we get dirt in them Emotional tears which (18) a lot of chemicals and hormones are produced when we’re sad or happy, or in great pain
Basal and reflex tears are certainly useful, but why do we produce emotional tears? Why do they have a different chemistry from other tears? Why do we cry? There seem (19) _ two answers to these questions.
First, when we feel very strong emotions (20) extreme sadness or happiness, our bodies make a lot of extra chemicals and hormones, Then, when we cry, our emotional tears take these chemicals and hormones out of our bodies This may be (21) people sometimes say they ‘feel better’ after crying One of the hormones in emotional tears is prolactin Women usually have about twice as much prolactin in their bodies as men, and this may explain why women cry more often than men.
The second reason for crying is to communicate with other people Babies can’t speak, so they use crying to tell people when they’re hungry, frightened, and so on As adults, we cry (22) _ often but
we probably cry for the same reason: to show people that we’re in physical or emotional pain, and that we need help.

Imagine a world without numbers if you can Think about the things that would be missing from your life without them No clocks or calendars; we would have no money, no mobile phones or computer programs Without numbers we couldn’t do calculations, so we wouldn’t have engineering There would
be no high-rise buildings, no good roads, long bridges or modern transport Basically, our whole world is held together by numbers.
So, where did numbers come from? The answer is right in front of you: from your hands In
ancient times fingers gave people a handy way of counting, which is why we usually count in ‘base ten’
today Eventually, systems for writing numbers were invented The Babylonians, in the area which is now Iraq, first came up with written numbers The Mayans, Egyptians and Romans also invented their own systems, which gave people the power to plan, calculate and to build In the end, the Indian system became popular and has been used since 200 BC.
We think of numbers as written systems, but did you know that number patterns are found in the natural world, too? In 1202 an Italian mathematician, Leonardo Fibonacci, came up with a puzzle: you are
given a pair of rabbits (a doe and a buck) and they have two babies (a doe and a buck) If each pair of
rabbits has two babies every month, how many pairs will there be by the end of the year?
If you work out the answer for each month, you get a series which starts: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 This series was not actually invented by Fibonacci, but his ‘rabbit problem’ helped people to understand it The ‘Fibonacci Series’ was born To work out each number in this series, you add together the last two numbers So, one plus one equals two, one plus two equals three, two plus three equals five and so on Therefore, at the end of twelve months, Fibonacci calculated there would be 144 pairs of rabbits.
Fibonacci also observed that these special numbers are often seen in nature The number of petals
on a flower is often a Fibonacci number The seeds in a sunflower, or in a pine cone, are all arranged in spiral patterns What happens when you count the number of spirals? It’s usually a Fibonacci number Incredibly, these numbers occur all around us They can be found in the spiral of a shell or the skin of a pineapple They are used in music, art and architecture, too Some people have been inspired to call the
‘magic numbers’, but the best name seems to be ‘nature’s numbers’.
Question 23: According to the article, which statement best describe the importance of numbers?
A They are important in mobiles and computers.
Trang 4B They are very useful for engineers and mathematicians.
C They are much more important than most people realize.
D They are not particularly meaningful in our life.
Question 24: What does the word “handy” means as used in paragraph 2?
A old-fashioned and slow B modern and complicated
C mathematical and technical D easy and useful
Question 25: The Indian system of numbers has been used for .
A over 200 years B over 2,000 years
C almost 200 years D almost 2,000 years
Question 26: As used in paragraph 3, “a doe and a buck” would most probably mean _.
A a tamed and a wild rabbit B a female and a male rabbit
C a rabbit and a hare D a young and mature rabbit
Question 27: According to the article, what did Leonardo Fibonacci do?
A He invented some new numbers B He owned a lot of rabbits.
C He created a math problem D He learnt about nature.
Question 28: According to the article, which statement best describe the Fibonacci series?
A It appears in nature.
B It is necessary for studying plants and animals.
