2. Read the text. Then choose the correct answer for each question below. Suppose your teacher gave you an assignment to add all of the numbers from 1 to 100 without using a calculator. How long do you think it would take? You could do it in about 30 seconds. Here’s how: Add 1 plus 100, which equals 101. Add 2 plus 99, which equals 101. Add 3 plus 98, which also equals 101. You re adding 50 pairs of numbers, which all equal 101. Therefore, you can multiply 50 times 101. This equals 5,050. Multiplication, of course, is simply a fast method of addition when you use the same numbers. The mathematician who worked out this particular problem was named Carl Gauss. He lived from 1777 to 1855. As a college student, he discovered that a seventeen-sided figure could be drawn with just a compass and a ruler. This was thought to be impossible. During his lifetime, Gauss made many discoveries in the study of numbers and shapes. He studied the use of statistics. This is the science of collecting, using, and studying information from real events in life. Gauss also studied stars and planets. He became famous for discovering the orbit around the sun of the asteroid Ceres. See if you can add all the numbers from 1 to 100 in less than 30 seconds! Maybe you, too, will become a scientist or math expert! . Which word in the passage refers to “the study and use of numbers”?

It’s a species left over from a group of reptiles as old as dinosaurs. It is the closest thing to a living dinosaur. Tuataras live only in New Zealand and are in danger of becoming extinct.
Some reptiles spend most of their time in water. But most species live on land. All have scaly skin to protect them. Reptiles are found in all habitats except polar ice in the Arctic and the tundra.
Reptiles usually lay their eggs in nests or holes dug in the ground. But some snakes, like rattlesnakes, let the eggs hatch inside the body and give birth to live babies. Female crocodiles are very good mothers. They guard the nest and even help the hatchlings get a start in life. Some snakes do this, too. But most reptiles lay their eggs and leave.
