II- Read the following passage and choose the best answer:
Mercury is the smallest member of the sun's family. It is only 3.100 miles across. It is also the sun's
swiftest planet. Its yearly journey round the sun is only 85 days.
Mercury always keeps one side towards the sun. On this side it is always day, on the other side always
night. We only see the lighted side.
Mercury appears to us like a yellowish orange star. The nearest planet to the sun, it is always seen near
the sun, either just before sunrise or soon after sunset. People sometimes call mercury the morning star
or evening star.
Mercury is half the size of the earth. Because it is much lighter, it has much less gravity. If you can visit
Mercury in a spaceship, you will find it a strange world. Its low gravity makes you feel very light. If
your weight on earth is 100 pounds, your weight on Mercury is only 27 pounds.
Looking at the sun from Mercury, you can see that it's much more brilliant than it is seen from the earth.
And the yellow centre of the sun appears three times bigger from Mercury.
On its lighted side, Mercury's temperature is about 300 degrees centigrate. But the dark side is extremely
cold, but 150 degrees below zero so mercury is probably the coldest as well as the hottest of the planets.

READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D.
Dear Angela,
I was horrified when I found out that my 12-year-old daughter had been arrested for stealing some
make-up from a high street chemist’s. This happened because she had been dared by some older children
from her school. She was so frightened that she started crying –which is what attracted the attention of
the shop assistant. The police were called and she was given a tell-off at the police station.
Since this terrifying experience, she has been too afraid to go out on her own and cries all the time.
My husband doesn’t seem to care that much. He says that she shouldn’t have stolen in the first place and
was unlucky to be caught. Now it is over she must learn to live with it. But I feel a failure as a parent and
am afraid that my child will turn to crime later on in life.
Yours sincerely,
Ashamed
