II. READING
1. Read the passage and answer the questions. Circle A, B, or C.

The Moon is approximately 384,400 kilometers from the Earth. Its diameter is 3,479 kilometers,
about 1/4 the diameter of Earth. The average temperature on the surface of the Moon during the
day is 107°C, hot enough to boil water on Earth. During the night, the average temperature drops
to −153°C.
Because of its smaller size and mass, the gravity of the Moon is about 1/6 the gravity on the
Earth. That means that a person who weighs 180 pounds on Earth would only weigh 30 pounds if
measured on the Moon.
The force of gravity from the Moon affects Earth. Its gravity reaches Earth and pulls the oceans
toward the Moon, causing the tides. The gravity from the Sun also affects the tides. The highest
tides will always occur when the Moon and Sun are aligned. That is when there is a New Moon
or a Full Moon.

2. Many people think that the invention of the Internet has changed people’s life.

I think the Internet has changed our life in many ways (and for the better). First, thanks to the
Internet, we can communicate with friends and relatives very easily and comfortably. We may
make on-line calls or chat with them using Facebook or other applications. (These are not only
convenient but also cheaper). Second, the way students study has also changed. Students now
can read online. They can send their assignments to their teachers by emails. Teachers can also
give feedback online using special applications. Furthermore, the way we entertain has also
changed considerably. We can now see films online, listen to music on Youtube, play games
online. In conclusion, we are grateful to the Internet inventor because our life has become more
comfortable than ever thanks to the use of the Internet.
