II. Read the passage carefully, then do the tasks.

SIGN LANGUAGE.
Because deaf people cannot hear, they have special ways of communicating. For example, they can learn to
understand what someone is saying by looking at the mouth of the speaker. This is called lipreading. Also, speaking
is very difficult for the deaf, because they cannot hear their own voices. However, it is possible with special
training. According to many deaf people all around the world, the most practical and popular way of
communicating is with sign language.
In many ways, sign language is similar to spoken language. The words of sign language are made with
signs, which are formed with movements of the hands, face, and body. As with words, each sign has a different
meaning and can be combined to form sentences. Sign languages also have their own grammar. The alphabet of
sign language is special hand signs that stand for letters; they make spelling possible. The signs combine to form a
rich language that can express the same thoughts, feelings, and ideas as any spoken language. And just as people
from different countries speak different languages, most countries have their own variety of sign language.
A. Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
1. Deaf people have two main ways of communicating with others.
2. Deaf people often find lipreading difficult because they can’t speak.
3. Sign language is the most widely-used method of communication.
4. Deaf people use hand signs to spell letters of the alphabet.
5. Sign language has letters, but no words.
6. Thoughts, feelings, and ideas can be expressed through the combination of signs.

X. Read the passage carefully, then do the tasks.
How many planets are there in our galaxy? That’s a tricky question to answer. Are there other planets that
support life? That’s exactly what the Kepler mission hopes to discover.
NASA launched the Kepler space telescope, designed to find habitable planets, in 2009. So far it has
discovered five new Earth-sized planets beyond our solar System. These planets are hotter than the Earth - much
too hot for life as we know it. The Kepler team predict that they will need at least three years to find an Earth-like
planet.
The simplest requirement for a planet to have life is for there to be liquid water so the distance from the
planet’s sun and therefore temperature are important. There also needs to be the correct amount of air. If a planet is
as small as Mars (half the size of Earth) its weak gravity means that it can’t hold on to air molecules. If a planet is
Neptune sized (four times bigger than Earth) it has very strong gravity and too much air. So size matters too.
The cost of the mission is approximately six hundred million dollars. It is scheduled to observe until 2013
but this could be extended. Will we be sad if we discover we are alone in our galaxy or happy if we find that we
share it with other life forms?

C. are not too far away from the Earth D. are not in our solar System
4. The Kepler team predict that they will need__________ to find an Earth-like planet.
A. three years and possibly longer B. as much as three years
C. no more than three years D. approximately three years
5. What are the primary factors that make a planet habitable?
A. Liquid water and living things B. Size and distance from the Sun
C. Hot temperature and weak gravity D. Strong gravity and too much air
6. How much does the Kepler mission cost?
A. Exactly $600 million B. About $600 million
