II. Read the following passage then answer the questions!

Everything on the earth is made up of molecules. These molecules are in the form of
solids, liquids, and gases. These solids, liquids, and gases are called matter. As you can see,
everything on the earth is called matter. Over 100 elements have been identified. Most of the
common items that we use every day are made of more than one element. Water has two
elements: hydrogen and oxygen. Water and any other matter, can be in the form of a solid (ice), a
liquid, or a gas (steam). Its form depends on its temperature. It is possible to transform or change
the form of any matter by raising or lowering its temperature.
Metals in solid form are used extensively in the technical field. Steel is used in
constructing buildings, bridges, and streets as well as in making small items to be used around the
house. Aluminum is found in automobiles, housewares, and radio and TV sets. It is also used for
all kinds of wiring, in tubing and connections, and in fittings. Copper and aluminum are
commonly used for wiring since they are good conductors of electricity and can be bent easily to
any shape. Silver is used in some technical areas because it is such an excellent conductor, but it's
really too expensive to use except in special cases. There is very little silver in US coins today for
the same reason. Most items in use today are made of alloys instead of pure metals. These
substances are less expensive since the cheaper metals can be combined with the more expensive
ones to serve the same purpose. Brass is a common alloy made up of copper and zinc.
