IL Reading Comprehension:

Passage 1

Millions of stars are traveling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most of

them travel alone? And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to anothe

匚For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near i匚

We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering through

space happened to come near our sun. Just as the sun and the moon raise tides on the earth, so this star

must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are

raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave must have traveled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a

mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountain

rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space? These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets?

Passage 2

In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is the doggie doing?11 rather than H Is the doggie running away?” The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers?

At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbcil expression and vocabulaiy?

Passage 3

Different as they are, advertisements are alike in one important way. They have the same purpose, to get people to buy something.

In the days of the cave men there was no advertising. There was no need for it. But as soon as people began to make things to sell, advertising was found to be useful. The businessmen of ancient Egypt employed "criers” to walk through the streets shouting or singing about the things they wanted to sell.

Newsboys still "cry H their papers now.

In the Middle Ages businessmen hung picture signboards over their shop door showing what they had to sell. A large picture of a shoe above a shop door meant that it was a shoemakers shop. It suggested buying shoes or having old ones mended?

As more things were made to be sold, advertising grew? Today advertising is one of the biggest businesses? A great many people work at the advertisement. Every year billions of dollars are spent on advertising.

Advertising helps sell more things to more people. This in turn makes it possible to produce more things to sell. Sometimes it even helps make things cost less?
