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?

B. The galaxy

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

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?

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

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

Education Foundation Director. The address is 459 Pearson Road, Chicago, IL
