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, 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 18: According to the article, which statement best describe the importance of numbers? A They are very useful for engineers and mathematicians B They are important in mobiles and computers C They are not particularly meaningful in our life D They are much more important than most people realize Question 19: What does the word “handy” means as used in paragraph 2? A modern and complicated B old-fashioned and slow C easy and useful D mathematical and technical Question 20: The Indian system of numbers has been used for A over 200 years B almost 200 years C over 2,000 years D almost 2,000 years Question 21: As used in paragraph 3, “a doe and a buck” would most probably mean _ A a female and a male rabbit B a tamed and a wild rabbit C a young and mature rabbit D a rabbit and a hare Question 22: According to the article, what did Leonardo Fibonacci do? A He owned a lot of rabbits B He invented some new numbers C He learnt about nature D He created a math problem Question 23: According to the article, which statement best describe the Fibonacci series? A It is necessary for studying plants and animals B It appears in nature C It is complicated D It is mysterious Read the passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the option that best fits each numbered space from 24 to 28 (1.0pt) Why people cry?
