The first breath-taking pictures of the Earth taken from space showed it as a solid ball covered by brown land masses and blue-green oceans. We had never seen the Earth from that distance before. To us, it appeared as though the Earth had always looked that way and always would. Scientists now know, however, that the surface of the Earth is not as permanent as we had thought.
Scientists explain that the surface of our planet is always moving. Continents moves about the Earth like huge ships at sea. They float on pieces of the Earth’s outer skin. New outer skin is created as melted rock pushed up from below the ocean floor. Old outer skin is destroyed as it rolls down into the hot area and melts again.
Only since the 1960s have scientists really began to understand that the planet Earth is a great living machine. Some experts have said this new understanding is one of the most important revolutions in scientific thought. The revolution is based on the work of scientists who study the movement of the continents—a science called plate tectonics.
The modern story of plate tectonics begins with the German scientist Alfred Wegener. Before World War One, Wegener argued that the continents had moved and were still moving. He said the idea first occurred to him when he observed that the coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together like two pieces of a puzzle. He proposed that the two continents might have been one and then split apart.
Wegener was not the first person to wonder about the shape of the continents. About 500 years ago, explorers thought about it when they made the first maps of Americas. The explorers noted the east coast of North America and South America would fit almost exactly into the west coast of Europe and South Africa. What the explorers did not do, but Wegener did, was to investigate the idea that the continents move.
1. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?
A. The first breath-taking pictures of the Earth taken from space.
B. Human’s recognition of the earth’s surface.
C. The German scientist Alfred Wegener.
D. The early explorers’ discovery.
2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. We didn’t see the Earth from far away until we saw the picture taken in the space.
B. Our ancient thought that the surface of the earth is still.
C. Alfred Wegener was not the first person to investigate the idea that the continents move.
D. The coastline of India and Africa fit together.
3. The last word of the third paragraph “tectonics” mean “________”.
A. study of construction
B. study of architecture
C. earth surface
D. structural geology
4. What did the explorers find?
A. The coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together.
B. The coastlines of North America and Africa could fit together.
C. The east coastlines of North America and the west coast of Europe could fit together.
D.The coastlines of North America and India could fit together.

The other day I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for some scientific 1 ; I forget what it really was. The announcer said something that caught my 2 “All great discoveries” he said,“are made by people between the ages of twenty five and 3 ”. Being a little over thirty myself , I wanted to disagree with him. Nobody wants to think that he is past the age of making any discoveries. The next day I happened to be in the city library and spent several hours 4 the ages of famous people and their discoveries.
First I looked at some of the 5 discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different 6 fall at the same speed , was made by Galileo when he was twenty six. Madame Curie started her research that 7 to a Nobel Prize when she was twenty-eight. Einstein was twenty-six 8 he published his theory of relativity. Well , enough of that. 9 I wondered if those 'best years' were true in other 10 .
Then how about the field of 11 ? Surely it 12 the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it does, but look 13 these people started their careers. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of twenty-six . Abraham Lincoln 14 the life of a country lawyer and was elected to the government 15 what age? Twenty-six.
But why don't best years come after thirty? After thirty , I guess, 16 people do not want to take risks or try 17 ways. Then' I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, 18 the latter was still trying new ways of 19 when he was ninety!
Perhaps there is still 20 for me.
