Passage one

Our family is trying to decide where to go for our vacation this

summer. Our son, Tom, wants to go to Yellow Stone Park again to see the bears. We did that last summer and what an experience it was! When we got

there, we put up our tent and went to explore. As we returned, we heard

our daughter Susie cried out and then we saw a bear enter our camp. Tom

wanted his father to chase him away. His father said, “No, it’s dangerous

to chase a bear, and don’t let him chase you! ’’ Susie said, “What shall

we do? Maybe we ought to climb a tree” .

Tom said, “No, we’ve got to get him out of there. He might go to

sleep in our tent”.

“Maybe we could make him leave if we put some honey outside for him

to eat”. Susie suggested.

Then I said, “How are you going to get the honey? It’s in the tent.”

We watched the bear enter the tent and heard him upset everything

inside. “It’s foolish for us to try to catch him”, said my husband,

“Leave him alone and wait for him to come out”. We waited, but the bear

stayed inside. We had to sleep in the car.

Passage two

What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of

learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”.

It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that make

him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power

is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing

how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone.

The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he

has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be

confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answer he gets to

many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.

The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the

conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must

work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are

different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be

explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that

investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed

the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The

accuracy of this mathematics was later tested through investigations,

Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools

for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical

calculations that may test his investigations.

11. What makes a scientist according to the passage?

A. The tools he uses.

B. The way he uses his tools.

C. His way of learning.

D. The various tools he uses.

12. “The scientist, however, goes one step further…”. The author says

this to show _______.

A. the importance of information

B. the importance of thinking

C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people

D. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs

13. A sound scientific theory should be one that _______.

A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also

under the same conditions at other times

B. does not allow any changes even under different conditions

C. can be used for many purposes
