Reading Comprehension
Why doesn't the air remain still? The reason is that air, when it becomes heated, becomes lighter, and it rises.
When it rises, other air moves in to take its place. The temperature of air becomes like the surface of the earth
over which it travels. Over dry land, the air can become very hot. Then, when the sun goes down, it cools off
quickly. Over water the air heats up more slowly and cools off more slowly. These changes cause the movement
of air, which we call wind..
41. This story is mainly about - [ ]
A. the heating up of air. B. why air moves. C. how air becomes lighter. D. air over dry land
42. As air heats up, it - [ ]
A. blows gently. B. becomes lighter C. cools off quickly. D. becomes very hot
43. Over dry land, the air - [ ]
A. is still. B. heats up and cools off quickly C. only cools off quickly D. only heats up
quickly.
44. Wind - [ ]
A. is hotter over water. B. cools off more slowly. C. causes the air to heat up. D. is the movement of air.
45. The temperature of air becomes like [ ]
A. star B. sun C. moon D. earth
Most people do not know that Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts of America, was deaf. She
began to lose her hearing when she was 17, and became almost totally deaf in her adulthood. Juliette Gordon was
born on October 31, 1860, in Savannah, Georgia. Her family and friends all called her Daisy. When she was 14 she
was sent to a school in Virginia that was run by some of Thomas Jefferson's grand-daughters. A few years later, at
the age of 17, she transferred to a school in New York. Juliette married William Mackay Low and they went to
England to live. Juliette became interested in the Girl Guides Association there. She observed their meetings and
was very impressed because the girls acquired many useful skills. They learned how to cook, knit, tie knots and
give first aid. They also learned about the history of the flag. Moreover, they developed important social skills as
they learned how to work together. Juliette thought that girls everywhere should have this opportunity, so she
decided to organize more troops. Juliette organized several Girl Guides troops in both England and Scotland. Since
she could not do all the work herself, she had to ask other women to help her. Sometimes the women were
reluctant to give their time due to family responsibilities. However, Juliette was a very determined woman. When
the women refused, she would pretend that she didn't understand what they said. As a result, the women helped
her in spite of being busy. Juliette always persevered until she motivated others to help her with her goals. One
encounter that required her persistence happened while she was in Scotland. She was walking along a road one
day when she came to a stream. The only way across the stream was by a foot log, and Juliette was afraid to
cross it alone. She was wondering what to do when she saw a peddler coming down the road. She told the peddler
to go across the bridge first, and she would follow with her hand on his shoulder. Although the peddler started to
protest, her stubborn insistence again paid off. He reluctantly led her across the foot bridge. Once they were
safely on the other side, the peddler explained to her that he was blind! When Juliette came back to America for a
visit, she started the first Girl Guides troop in the country in her home town, Savannah. By the time she went back
to England six months later, there were six Girl Guide troops in Savannah. At that time, the girls each made their
own uniforms. In 1913, the Girl Guides changed its name to the Girl Scouts. Juliette Low came back to Savannah
that same year. She decided that there should be Girl Scout troops all over the United States, so she worked
toward that goal. The first national Girl Scout convention was held in Washington, DC, on June 10, 1915. Juliette
died in Savannah on January 17, 1927. Thanks to her, there are now Girl Scouts all over the world. Juliette's home
in Savannah is a national Girl Scout center.
