correct answer to each of the following questions
In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related. A theory often
involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced. A
good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory, in which gases are pictured as being
made up of many small particles that are in constant motion.

A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observation, helps to predict events that have not as
yet been observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. If
observations confirm the scientists' predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not
confirm the predictions, the scientists must search further. There may be a fault in the experiment, or
the theory may have to be revised or rejected.

Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and
performing experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare
said: "Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be
called science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house."
Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a
particular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the
investigation that requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated.
These possible solutions are called hypotheses. In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown. It
extends the scientist's thinking beyond the known facts. The scientist plans experiments, performs
calculations, and makes observations to test hypotheses. For without hypotheses, further investigation
lacks purpose and direction. When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories.
Trong ngành khoa học, một học thuyết có nghĩa là một sự giải thích hợp lý cho những hiện tượng quan sát
được có liên quan với nhau. Một học thuyết thường bao gồm một mô hình tưởng tượng giúp cho các nhà
khoa học hình dung được tại sao hiện tượng đó có thể xảy ra. Một ví dụ tiêu biểu cho điều này đó là sự ra
đời của thuyết động lực phân tử, trong đó các loại khí được hình dung như là được cấu thành bởi nhiều
những mảnh nhỏ luôn luôn trong trạng thái chuyển động.

A considerable body of research has demonstrated a correlation between birth order and aspects such
as temperament and behavior, and some psychologists believe that birth order significantly affects the
development of personality. Psychologist Alfred Adler was a pioneer in the study of the relationship
between birth order and personality. A key point in his research and in the hypothesis that he developed
based on it was that it was not the actual numerical birth position that affected personality; instead, it

was the similar responses in large numbers of families to children in specific birth order positions that
had an effect. For example, first-borns, who have their parents to themselves initially and do not have to
deal with siblings in the first part of their lives, tend to have their first socialization experiences with

adults and therefore tend to find the process of peer socialization more difficult. In contrast, later-born
children have to deal with siblings from the first moment of their lives and therefore tend to have
stronger socialization skills.
Numerous studies since Adler’s have been conducted on the effect of birth order and personality.
These studies have tended to classify birth order types into four different categories: first-born, secondborn and/or middle, last, and only child.
Studies have consistently shown that first-born children tend to exhibit similar, positive and negative
personality traits. First-borns have consistently been linked with academic achievement in various
studies; in one study, the number of National Merit scholarship winners who are first-borns was found to
be equal to the number of second-and third-borns combined. First-borns have been found to be more
responsible and assertive than those born in other birth-order positions and tend to rise to positions
of leadership more often than others; more first-borns have served in the U.S. Congress and as U.S.
presidents than have those born in other birth-order positions. However, studies have shown that firstborns tend to be more subject to stress and were considered problem children more often than laterborns.
Second-born and/or middle children demonstrate markedly different tendencies from first-borns.
They tend to feel inferior to the older child or children because it is difficult for them to comprehend
that their lower level of achievement is a function of age rather than ability, and they often try to
succeed in areas other than those in which their older sibling or siblings excel. They tend to be more
trusting, accepting, and focused on others than the more self-centered first-borns, and they tend to have a
comparatively higher level of success in team sports than do first-borns or only children, who more
often excel in individual sports.
The last-born child is the one who tends to be the eternal baby of the family and thus often exhibits a
strong sense of security. Last-borns collectively achieve the highest degree of social success and
demonstrate the highest levels of self-esteem of all the birth-order positions. They often exhibit less
competitiveness than older brothers and sisters and are more likely to take part in less competitive
group games or in social organizations such as sororities and fraternities.
Only children tend to exhibit some of the main characteristics of first-borns and some of the
characteristics of last-borns. Only children tend to exhibit the strong sense of security and self-esteem
exhibited by last-borns while, like first-borns, they are more achievement oriented and more likely
than middle-or last-borns to achieve academic success. However, only children tend to have the most
problems establishing close relationships and exhibit a lower need for affiliation than other children.
