Fibonacci discovered his famous sequence—the Fibonacci number sequence (斐波那契数列). The sequence goes like this: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, and so on. The Fibonacci sequence is actually pretty simple. The first two numbers in the sequence are zero and one; if you add them together, their sum is 1, the third number in the sequence. The second and third numbers in the sequence are 1 and 1; you add these numbers together to get the fourth Fibonacci number: 2. The sum of the third and fourth numbers, 1 and 2, equal the fifth number: 3. Continue the pattern: 2+3=5; 3+5=8; 5+8=13; and so on until you reach 144+233=377. The sequence is also called the rabbit sequence because Fibonacci introduced his sequence to the public by describing a situation of counting rabbits. Imagine that there is a pair of newborn rabbits, one male and one female. At the end of the first month, they grow into adult rabbits. At the end of the second month, they give birth to a new pair of babies, so there are two pairs. The first pair produces another pair of babies again, and the second pair grows up. Therefore, at the end of the third month, there are three pairs, .... Fibonacci numbers appear often in maths. In fact, there is a magazine, the Fibonacci Quarterly, publishing the study on them. Fibonacci numbers are also used in computer programs. They appear in nature such as in the number of petals on a flower as well. A lily has three petals, a buttercup has five petals, and an aster has 21 petals — 3, 5, and 21 are all Fibonacci numbers. 1．What is the sixteenth number in the Fibonacci sequence? A．233. B．377. C．610. D．987. 2．How did Fibonacci introduce his sequence to the public? A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers. C．By comparing facts. D．By giving examples. 3．What does the word “They” in the l
