The passage discusses the results of a survey of 100 middle school students that tested their understanding of basic space-related terms like solar system, galaxy, and universe. While most students knew that a solar system revolves around a sun, fewer understood that a galaxy contains multiple solar systems and stars, and very few knew that the universe is all of space. The students also struggled to name planets and order them by distance from the sun.

Where are we in space?

If middle school children were driving us around in a spaceship, we might all


be lost! According to a survey of 100 middle school students taken at the end
of last semester, understanding our place in space is pretty hard. The students
were quizzed on the meaning of basic terms related to space including "solar
system," "galaxy" and "universe." The good news is that 74 percent of students
knew that a solar system is a group of planets that revolve around a sun.
Perhaps surprisingly, most even knew that the word "solar" comes from the
Latin "sol" which means "sun." The bad news is that only 23 percent of
students knew that a galaxy is a group of solar systems, stars, and planets. The
Earth is included in the Milky Way Galaxy. The really bad news is that only 12
percent of students knew what the universe was. The universe is all of space.
The survey also showed that few students were able to name more than 3 or 4
planets. Even fewer students were able to put planets in the correct order in
terms of distance from the sun. Some improvement in students' knowledge of
space can be hoped for in the future as students enter high school.

1. According to the information, which finding was somewhat surprising?


A. Students know what "sol" means

B. Our solar system is in the Milky Way Galaxy

C. The universe is all of space

D. 100 middle school students took the survey

2. What do the numbers on the left side of the graph represent?

A. Distance from the sun in space

B. Number of people

C. Points on a test

D. Percent of science classes

3. What did the middle school students know about best?

A. The solar system

B. The galaxy

C. The universe

D. The Milky Way

4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as part of a galaxy?

A. Stars

B. Planets

C. Moons

VALUE OF EXPORTS FOR THE COUNTRY OF GROMATIA,

***************************

Farmers of Gromatia Be Proud!

The Government of Gromatia would like to thank all its farmers for their hard
work this year. Despite the winter flooding and the summer drought, 2005 was
overall a great year for the farming industry. As a nation whose income is
based on the revenue generated by the produce of our farmers, your work is of
the greatest importance to us.

We have sent you the figures for 1995 and 2005, so that you can measure your
success for yourselves. However, you will notice that exports were down in
certain areas. In particular, coffee was low. These days, coffee drinking is
becoming very popular thanks to large chains of coffee shops offering cheap
but tasty coffee worldwide. We feel that it is important for Gromatia to gain a
position in this market. Over the next ten years, we will be offering subsidies to
farmers who plant coffee. We hope that this will enable us to increase our
annual exports.

The second area in which we hope to excel is wine. With more leisure time,
better education and a desire for luxury, people are becoming more interested
in wine. In the past, people stuck to the wines of France, Italy and Germany,
but now they are looking for more unique wine from smaller locations. This is
where we see a niche for us in the market. We believe that this will be our
strongest export item by 2015.
Although small, Gromatia has the potential to do very well in the international
market. Thank you for your efforts in taking us there.

1. Which product was exported more in 1995 than in 2005?

A. Cigarettes

B. Grains

C. Coffee

D. Beef

2. What is true about the export of beef in the 10-year period?

A. It increased more than any other product.

B. It increased more than grains.

C. It increased less than wine.

D. It increased more than cigarettes.

3. Which product is expected to increase most in value over the next ten years?

A. Beef

B. Whisky

C. Cigarettes

D. Wine

4. What problems did farmers in Gromatia suffer in 2005?

A. Sales troubles

B. Climate troubles

C. Strikes

D. Industrial difficulties

5. Why does the government think Gromatian wine will become successful?
A. It tastes good.

B. It is cheap.

C. People want more unusual wines.

D. People don’t want to drink coffee.

The Blackrock Education Foundation would like to announce that we will


begin taking applications for the 24th German Language Scholarship starting
March 10 and ending on March 31. Applicants from diverse backgrounds are
encouraged to apply. To qualify for the scholarship, applicants must:

- be currently enrolled in a master's program

- prove advanced proficiency in the German language


- submit a complete health check

- submit a recommendation from a previous language instructor

The German Language scholarship is intended for students who already speak
German at

an advanced level. Therefore, this scholarship is for students who plan to use
the German language to study in Germany in the near future.

Recipients of the scholarship must complete monthly progress reports, submit


all monthly expenses to the foundation, and maintain a B+ grade average.

Applications can be downloaded under the RESOURCES tab on our website.


Please submit all necessary materials to Mr. Hans Richter, Blackrock
Education Foundation Director. The address is 459 Pearson Road, Chicago, IL
60616. The review and selection process will take approximately two weeks.
Any application with incomplete or missing documents will be rejected without
exception. Results will be released on April 15.
