READING

Have you ever wondered what keeps a hot air balloon flying? The same principle that keeps food
frozen in the open chest freezers at the grocery store allows hot air balloons to fly. It's a very basic
principle: Hot air rises and cold air falls. So while the super-cooled air in the grocery store freezer
settles down around the food, the hot air in a hot air balloon pushes up, keeping the balloon floating
above the ground. In order to understand more about how this principle works in hot air balloons, it
helps to know more about hot air balloons themselves.

A hot air balloon has three major parts: the basket, the burner, and the envelope. The basket is where
passengers ride. The basket is usually made of wicker. This ensures that it will be comfortable and
add little extra weight. The burner is positioned above the passenger's heads and produces a huge
flame to heat the air inside the envelope. The envelope is the colorful fabric balloon that holds the hot
air. When the air inside the envelope is heated, the balloon rises.

The pilot can control the up-and-down movements of the hot air balloon by regulating the heat in the
envelope. To ascend, the pilot heats the air in the envelope. When the pilot is ready to land, the air
in the balloon is allowed to cool and the balloon becomes heavier than air. This makes the balloon
descend.

Before the balloon is launched, the pilot knows which way the wind is blowing. This means that she
has a general idea about which way the balloon will go. But, sometimes the pilot can actually control
the direction that the balloon flies while in flight. This is because the air above the ground is sectioned
into layers in which the direction of the wind may be different. So even though the pilot can't steer the
balloon, she can fly or higher or lower into a different layer of air. Some days the difference between
the direction of the wind between layers is negligible. But other days the difference is so strong that
it can actually push the balloon in a completely different direction!

8. According to the passage, balloon pilots control the balloon’s altitude by

A. moving into a different layer of air

B. regulating the air temperature inside the balloon

C. adjusting the amount of air in the envelope

D. changing the amount of weight contained in the basket
