It is thought to be a gaseous and fluid planet without solid surfaces. Had it been, somewhat more massive, Jupiter might have attained internal temperatures as high as the ignition point for nuclear reactions, and it would have flamed as a star in its own right. Jupiter and the other giant planets are of a low-density type quite distinct from the terrestrial planets: they are composed predominantly of such substances as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane, unlike terrestrial planet. Much of Jupiter’s interior might be in the form of liquid, metallic hydrogen. Normally, hydrogen is a gas, but under pressures of millions of kilograms per square centimeter, which exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might lock together to form a liquid with the properties of a metal. Some scientists believe that the innermost core of Jupiter might be rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth. Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9,8 hours. As a result, its clouds, which are composed largely of frozen and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright bands that circle the planet at different speed in different latitudes. Jupiter’s puzzling Great Red Spot changes size as it hovers in the Southern Hemisphere. Scientists speculate it might be a gigantic hurricane, which because of its large size (the Earth could easily fit inside it), lasts for hundreds of years. Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. Perhaps this is primeval heat or beat generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet. Another star like characteristic of Jupiter is its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of the Solar System, decrease in density with distance-from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons farther away. If Jupiter were about 70 times more massive, it would have become a star, Jupiter is the best-preserved sample of the early solar nebula, and with its satellites, might contain the most important clues about the origin of the Solar System. 21. The word “flamed” in line 10 is closest in meaning to … a. Fallen b. Grown c. Burned d. Divided e. Continued 22. The word “they” in line 13 refers to … a. Nuclear reactions b. Giant planets c. Terrestrial d. Substances e. Temperatures 23. The clouds surrounding Jupiter are mostly composed of … a. Ammonia b. Helium c. Hydrogen d. Methane e. Metal 24. Paragraph 3 supports which of the following conclusions? a. Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as the Sun b. Jupiter has a weaker gravitational force than the other planets c. Scientist believe that Jupiter was once a star d. Scientist might learn about the beginning of the Solar System by studying Jupiter. e. From rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons farther away. 25. Why does the author mention primeval heat (paragraph 3 line 3)? a. To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the Sun b. To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the other planets c. To suggest a possible explanation for the number of satellites that Jupiter has d. To suggest a possible source of the quantity of heat that Jupiter gives off e. To provide evidence that Jupiter is faster than the Sun Text 3: The environmental problems of developing countries are not the side effect of excessive industrialization but reflects the inadequacy of development. The rich countries may look upon development as the cause of environmental destruction, but to us it is one of the primary means of improving the environment for living, or providing food, water, sanitation and shelter, or making the desserts green and the mountains habitable.

He knelt down and solemnly prayed to the decreased that if he ever a secret and never return to disturb it. He promised to offer prayers to the spirit.
