Australia is an enormous country, but it has a population of only 20 million. Some families live on farms,
hundreds of kilometers from a town or city. Children from these families can’t travel to school every day, so
many of them use a speacial school: the Australian School of the Air.
There are twelve Schools of the Air in Australia and over 1,000 students use them. Students of the School
of the Air do not have lessons in classrooms with other students. They study at home on their own. The
teachers at the School of the Air prepare lessons and send them to the students by post or email. The
students have to work on these lessons for five or six hours a day, Monday to Friday. They send their work
to the teacher once a week and discuss it by radio or over the Internet. They can also borrow books from the
school library. The books arrive by post.
Once or twice a year, a teacher visits every student at home. The teacher spends a day with the students,
helps them with their work and discusses problems. The teacher often has dinner with the family and stays
for a night at the student’s house. Teachers and students can also meet at the Sports Carnival. This takes
place once a year on playing fields in Alice Springs. Students do not have to go, but it is a great way for
them to do sport together and to make friends.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
word or phrase that best fits each of the following questions
Galileo Galile, one of the first modern scientists, was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1564. About twenty years
later he attended the University of Pisa. At first he studied philosophy, but later he studied mathematics and
astronomy. He was interested in the way the earth and other planets move around the sun. He made the
telescope, which made far-away things look larger and easier to examine. He also started the new way of
working in science. Before Galileo; scientists did not do experiments. They just guessed about how
something happened. Galileo was different. He did not just make guesses. He did experiments and watched
to see what happened.
Galileo was famous for his study of how things fall. He was the first person to do experiments about this
problem. Before, people thought that heavy things always fell faster than light things. He found out that this
was not true. He took a heavy ball and a light ball and he dropped them both from a high place. They fell at
the same speed. This meant that weight is not important. This is the law of failing bodies. It is an important
law for understanding our world.
