Reading
Read the following text and fill the gaps with the missing sentences. There are two sentences you will not need.
The mysteries of human behaviour
Scientists have created test-tube babies, sent men to the moon and learnt to read the DNA which makes us who we are, yet they have failed to fully explain some of the mysteries of ordinary human behaviour. Our everyday lives are filled with actions that are still mysterious, such as creating art, blushing and altruism. 1 ___ Here are some theories on why we do the things we do.
Blushing
Even Charles Darwin was unable to explain why evolution made our cheeks turn red when we are lying, shy or embarrassed. 2 ___ Over-sensitive, non-confrontational or shy people may blush because they are trying to avoid conflict, and some might be revealing weakness.
Altruism
In evolutionary terms, giving things away, helping old people across the road or being very hospitable despite knowing that we might not get anything in return is rather strange behaviour. Some say that it is more natural for people to be inconsiderate, and to prioritise their own needs over those of others, but many of us keep displaying signs of altruism on a daily basis. 3 ___
Art
When we paint, dance, sculpt and write music, we could be showing off our skills and potential, or communicating what state of mind we are in. If, for instance, we paint a picture of a romantic countryside full of blooming flowers, this could be sending a message that we are exceptionally supportive, hospitable and dependable. Composing sad songs, on the other hand, may be a sign of feeling gloomy or that we believe we are in a hopeless situation. 4 ___
Adolescence
5 ___ Some suggest that teenage years help our large brain reorganise itself before adulthood, and allow us to experiment with certain behaviours inappropriate for adulthood, before we take over full responsibility for our lives.
An explanation for such behaviour is that it may be helping us with group bonding or that being kind to others simply gives us pleasure.
One of the explanations scientists have given is that this behaviour alerts others to the fact that we are being deceitful, or are under emotional stress.
Scientists believe that this is one of the reasons why such a small number of people behave this way.
However, some scientists suggest that creativity could in fact be a tool for spreading knowledge or sharing our experiences with others.
Historically, it was considered odd for women to write classical music, but this has now changed. 
As it seems nothing is more fascinating to us than our behaviour, it is not surprising that scientists have been trying to explain certain human traits and behaviours for decades.
No other animal undergoes a stage in its life where it becomes unpredictable, mischievous and even foolish.
