2．Number sense is not the ability to count．It is the ability to recognize a（16）C in number．Human beings are born with this ability．（17）B，experiments show that many animals are，too．For example，many birds have good number sense．If a nest has four eggs and you remove one，the bird will not（18）D．However，if you remove two，the bird（19）Aleaves．This means that the bird knows the （20）Cbetween two and three．

How good is a human's number sense？It's not very good．For example，babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a （28）B group．But when the number goes beyond three or four，the children are（29）Dfooled．
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world，and that our human （30）C is not much better than a crow's．
