Aristotle was a great Greek philosopher. His father was a physician (doctor) to King Amyntas of Macedonia. As a
boy, Aristotle probably watched his father treating patients and making medicines from parts of plants and animals.
From this, Aristotle may have gained his interests in nature study, biology and anatomy.

Aristotle was away from Athens for twelve years. First he went to Assoc, to the court of Hernias of Atarneua, part
of what is now Turkey. Here he studied politics and biology, taught pupils and advised the rulers. During this time,
Aristotle carried out many observations and studies on nature, especially fish and seashore creatures. He cut them open,
identified their parts and organs, and suggested what these might do.

This method of working was very unusual for the time. Most of his colleagues did not ‘get their hands dirty’. They
were thinkers, not doers. They rarely carried out tests, or observed the real world closely, or made records of what they
saw. Aristotle was establishing a whole new tradition, which for us today, is a central part of science.

6. Where did Aristotle come from?


A. United States.
B. England.
C. Canada.
D. Greece.
E. Japan.
7. What did his father do?
A. A scientist.
B. A biologist.
C. A physician.
D. A philosopher.
E. A fortune teller.
8. Why did most of Aristotle’s colleagues hesitate to work at that time?
A. They were thinkers, not doers.
B. They were not scientists.
C. They were not smart.
D. They were cowards.
E. They were lazy.
9. Which statement is NOT TRUE according to the text?

A. Aristotle carried out many observations, especially on fish.

B. Aristotle left Athens for twelve years.

C. Aristotle studied politics and biology in Assoc.

D. Aristotle had interests in nature study, biology and anatomy.

E. Aristotle’s colleagues always observed the real world closely.

B. Giant creatures.

C. Human bodies.

Once upon a time there was a queen who had no children. Every morning she went into the garden and prayed to God
in heaven to bestow on her a son or a daughter. Then an angel from heaven came to her and said, “Be at rest, you shall
have a son with the power of wishing, so that whatsoever in the world he wishes for, he shall have.” Then she went to
the king and told him the joyful news and when the time was due, she gave birth to a son and the king was filled with
gladness.

Every morning she went with the child to the garden where the wild beasts were kept and washed her there in a clear
stream. It happened once when the child was a little older when he was lying in her arms and she fell asleep. Then came
the old cook, who knew that the child had the power of wishing and stole him. He took a hen, cut it in pieces and
dropped some of its blood on the queen’s apron and dress. The cook carried the child to a secret place, where a nurse
was obliged to suckle him and he ran to the king and accused the queen of having allowed her child to be taken by the
wild beasts.

When the king saw the blood on her apron, he believed this, which he ordered a high tower be built, in which neither
sun nor moon could be seen nor had his wife put in it and walled up. Here she was to stay for seven years without food
or drink and die of hunger, but God sent two white doves, which flew to her twice a day, to bring her food until the
seven years were over. Meanwhile, the nurse who suckled the child knew the fact. She felt guilty after years try hiding it.
So, when the cook died, she came to the king to confess and gave the child to the king.

The king did not believe her. He even accused the nurse of creating an imaginary story. However, when he saw the
power of wishing the child had and his wife’s condition, he believed it. The king asked for his wife’s forgiveness and the
family lived happily ever after.

B. He kidnapped the queen together with the child.

C. He accused the queen of letting the child be taken by wild beasts.

D. He did as if the child had been kidnapped by a cruel creature.

E. He ran away with the child.

13. What did God send to give the queen food?

A. An eagle.

B. Two doves.

C. A hen.

D. Two crows.
