Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
In Roman mythology Pluto was the god of the underworld. Pluto is the name
given to a dark mystery: a body called a dwarf planet in the far reaches of our
solar system. Pluto is smaller than the Earth’s Moon and is the farthest major
body from the Sun—most of the time. Pluto is so distant and small that it
wasn’t discovered until 1930. Only recently have very strong instruments like
the Hubble Space Telescope given us some details about the mysterious
faraway body. Pluto is so mysterious that scientists have not been sure what
kind of body it is. For many years they called it a planet, but it is different from
the other planets. Tiny Pluto’s diameter is only about 1,485 miles. It’s not
entirely clear what Pluto is made of, but scientists think it may be 50 to 75
percent rock and the rest frozen water and gases.

Safety is anything that people do to protect themselves or others from
harmful accidents. People can prevent accidents by following safety
measures. Governments pass laws to keep people safe. For example, a
law could require that buildings have clearly marked exits. This would
allow people to escape quickly during a fire. Laws and other rules that are
meant to protect all people are called public safety measures. Another
way to promote public safety is to spread information about safety
measures. For example, magazines about parenting often have articles on
how to keep a house safe for children. These articles may recommend
keeping cleaning products out of reach or covering electrical outlets.
Workplaces also have rules that are designed to keep workers safe. These
are called occupational safety measures. For example, factories may
require employees to wear a helmet or safety goggles to protect
themselves from injury.

Isaac Newton was one of the great figures in the history of science. His
ideas about motion and gravity are very important to the science of
physics. After Newton graduated from college, he continued to study and
do experiments on his own. His first great discovery came from his
experiments with light. He found that when white light passes through a
prism, or triangular piece of glass, it breaks up into a band of colors.
Newton concluded that white light is a mixture of colors. Newton also
wanted to know what keeps the Moon in its orbit, or path, around Earth.
He thought that only an attraction, or pull, between Earth and the Moon
could explain it. This pull is called gravity. Newton’s work showed how
gravity controls the motion of the planets around the sun as well as the
motion of the Moon. As he studied gravity and motion, Newton also
made important contributions to mathematics.

When an entire species, or type, of animal dies out, that species is extinct.
Once a species becomes extinct, it is gone forever. The most common
cause of extinction is a sudden, serious change in a species’ habitat. A
habitat is the surroundings in which an animal lives. Animals can rarely
survive such sudden change. Their food supply may be wiped out. They
may also lose shelter or other things that they need to survive. Many
things can change a species’ habitat. Floods, fires, droughts volcanoes,
and other natural events may be causes. People also change the
environment in ways that drastically affect animals. People clear forests
and drain wetlands. They build dams that disrupt the flow of rivers. They
build cities on land that animals need to survive. They also create harmful
pollution.

On its first trip across the Atlantic Ocean, a passenger ship called the
Titanic struck a huge iceberg. The ship sank on April 15, 1912, killing more
than 1,500 people. It was one of the most famous disasters of the 20th
century. For four days the ship's elite passengers enjoyed themselves in
the brand new amenities of the Titanic, full of every modern luxury
known at the time. During the early part of the 20th century, it was
considered quite sophisticated for wealthy families to spend periods of
their time in Europe, which required crossing the Atlantic at least once
per year. Even to these travellers, however, the Titanic ship was like no
other. Nothing had been spared to ensure the comfort of the first class
guests. The ship was even equipped with only 20 lifeboats, so that deck
space for the first class passengers would not be taken up by big lifeboats.

Plants and animals have special characteristics, or traits, that help them
survive in their surroundings. They develop these traits through a process
called adaptation. Many animals have traits that help them hide from other
animals that want to attack them. Some insects look like a leaf. Deer are
colored shades of brown, like the trees in the forests where they live. In both
cases, these animals become almost invisible to their attackers, because they
blend in with their surroundings. Other animals have features that help them
deal with some part of their surroundings. Frogs, alligators, and
hippopotamuses all spend a great deal of time in the water. They all have their
eyes and nostrils near the top of the head. This means that the animal may
remain almost completely underwater and yet be able to see and breathe.

The Nobel prize is one of the most important awards that anyone can receive.
Nobel prizes are given each year in six subject areas. The areas are physics,
chemistry, medicine, literature, peace, and economics. The prizes honor
people anywhere in the world who have done outstanding work in one of
these areas. The Nobel prizes are named after Alfred Nobel, a Swedish
scientist. He invented the explosive called dynamite. The invention made him
rich. He decided to use the money to honor people who helped humankind in
some way. The first Nobel prizes were handed out on December 10, 1901,
precisely five years after Alfred Nobel’s death. At first there were only five
prizes. The prize for economics was added to the list in 1969. Groups in
Sweden decide who wins most prizes. A group in Norway picks the winner of
the peace prize.

The energy that holds together the nucleus of an atom is called nuclear,
or atomic, energy. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. The
nucleus is the central part of an atom. When nuclear energy is released, it
changes into other forms of energy. These forms of energy are called
radiation. Heat and light are examples of radiation. Nuclear energy can be
released through processes called nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.
Nuclear fission happens when the nucleus of an atom splits into two or
more parts. Nuclear fusion happens when two nuclei join to form a single
nucleus. The nuclei of certain kinds of atoms can give off nuclear energy
without fission or fusion taking place. These atoms are called radioactive.

One of the best-known pharaohs is Tutankhamen. He ruled in the 1300s BC,
from about age 8 until he died 10 years later. Archaeologists found his tomb in
1922. In addition to his mummy, archaeologists also found a gold mask of the
pharaoh’s face, jewelry, furniture, weapons, and other treasures buried in the
tomb. In the 1200s BC Ramses II ruled as pharaoh for about 67 years. He
fought many successful wars. He also ordered many temples and statues to be
built. Giant statues of Ramses II survive in Egypt today.
Ancient Egypt also had some female pharaohs. Many of them ruled with
their husbands or for their young sons. Hatshepsut, however, ruled on
her own as a pharaoh in the 1400s BC. Cleopatra is probably the most
famous woman ruler of Egypt. Part of a line of pharaohs from Macedonia,
she ruled from 51 to 30 BC. After her death the Roman Empire took over
Egypt, and the rule of the pharaohs ended.
