READING COMPREHENSION
Q1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions
Galileo Galilei was born in the year 1564. He was born in the town of Pisa,
in what is now Italy. When he was 20 years old, he was studying in Pisa.
His father wanted him to be a doctor. Galileo was bored with school. The
only subject he really liked was math. Because he was doing well in math,
the court mathematician offered to tutor him privately He said he could
become a qualified mathematician. Galileo’s father was disappointed, but
he agreed.Because he needed to earn money, Galileo began
experimenting with different things. He tried to come up with an invention
he could sell for money. He had some success with one invention. It was
like a compass that could be used to measure land. He experimented with
pendulums, thermometers, and magnets. He heard that a Dutch inventor
had invented something called a spyglass. The inventor was trying to keep
it a secret. Galileo decided to work on one of his own. Within 24 hours, he
had invented a telescope. It could magnify things to make them appear ten
times larger than real life. One night, he pointed his telescope toward the
sky. He made his first of many space observations. Everyone thought the
moon was smooth. Galileo saw that it wasn’t. The moon was covered in
bumps and craters. As technology has improved, Galileo and many others
have made improvements on the telescope. Today, the telescope is a
wonderful device that lets us see objects far, far away.

1) Galileo’s father was disappointed when he became a mathematician.

What did he want him to be instead?

2) Why did Galileo become an inventor?

3) Where did Galileo get the idea for his telescope?

4) What did Galileo discover about the moon?

5) Do you think Galileo’s inventions made a difference in the world? How?

Q2.As you read the following passages, think about how the stories are alike,
and how they are different.

The Kingly Lion

The animals of the field and forest had a Lion as their King. When anyone had a
problem, they took it to the Lion King, and he helped to solve it. When anyone
had an argument, they took it to the Lion King, and he helped to settle it. The Lion
King never made demands that were in his own interest. He wanted only what
was best for each and every animal. Day after day, the Lion King thought about
nothing but the animals who were his subjects. Then he sat down and wrote out a
Royal Order. He called all the animals to come before him. He stood on a hilltop
and watched the animals come together from far and near. He waited for them to
settle. “Hear ye, hear ye!” the Lion began, in his deep and rumbling voice. “I have
written out my orders for a new way of doing things that will be better for all.
From this day forward, the Wolf and the Lamb shall agree to live in peace. The
Panther and the Goat shall live in peace. The Tiger and the Deer, and the Dog and
the Rabbit—all shall live together in perfect peace and harmony. The Rabbit said,
"Oh, how I have longed to see this day, in which the weak shall take their place
without fear, by the side of the strong." And after the Rabbit said this, he ran for
his life.

The Elderly Lion

A very Elderly Lion, weakened by old age and old injuries, could no longer hunt
for his food. He lived for a while on grass and berries, but this made him grow still
weaker. He decided to use his brain to take what he could not get by force. The
Elderly Lion lay down in his den. He told every animal and bird who passed by that
he was very sick. The animals all got the news of Elderly Lion’s illness, and came
one by one to visit him. Squirrel came, bringing fresh grasses and berries. Squirrel
was not seen after that. Dove came, bringing more fresh grasses and berries.
Dove was not seen after that. More animals went to visit the Elderly Lion, and it
became clear that animals were disappearing. Fox thought about the situation. He
decided to go and visit the Elderly Lion. He went to the Elderly Lion’s den and
stood outside at a respectful distance. “How are you feeling today?” Fox asked.
“Not well, not at all well,” said the Elderly Lion. “But why do you stand there
outside? Please—come inside and visit with me for a while.” “No thank you,” said
Fox. “I notice that there are many footprints leading into your den, but I see no
trace of any leading out.”
