B. Reading Comprehension

2. Read the passage and the answer the questions:
Everything has its pros and cons. Humans are always advised to make the best use of
the best things about something and avoid the bad ones that come out of it. Everything in
our world can be useful or harmful according to the way we use them. A knife is certainly
useful because we use it for cutting or chopping things, but it is harmful in the hands of a
child or a mad man. Fire is necessary for us because it gives us heat and light and helps us
cook our food, however it can be the cause of death and destruction if it is used carelessly.
On the other hand poison, which is certainly harmful, can be helpful when it is used, for
example in treating a sick man.
The way in which we deal with everything around us is connected with our personality
traits. We are either good people or bad people and our character determines our behaviour
towards things and people. We can make good use of anything, if we ourselves are good. In
the hands of a bad person everything is bad and destructive. On the contrary, in the hands of
a good person everything is good and useful. Money which can be spent on making guns,
bombs and poisonous gases, can be spent on useful purposes such as reclaiming the desert,
building new cities, treating sick people and so on. So, the only way to make life better is to
make ourselves better. The world around us is nothing but a mirror in which we see
ourselves.

1. What happens when we use fire in a carless way?

3. Read the passage and the answer the questions:

A comet is a member of the solar system which travels on an orbit combined with
gases. The brightest part of a comet is the head and it has a tail composed of thin gases and
fine particles. Comets should not be confused with meteorites or "shooting stars" which
flash across the sky at almost any time.
For many centuries the coming of a comet caused people to tremble with fear. They
believed that comets were evil signs foretelling plagues, wars and deaths. It often happened
that a comet was seen about the time that an important event in history took place. One
flared across the sky just before Jerusalem was captured and destroyed by the Romans about
2000 years ago. During the funeral of Julius Caesar, a great bright comet was seen over the
city of Rome. Another was seen on the day that the Roman emperor Nero killed himself.
When people understand what causes these bright flashes in the sky, superstition and
fear change to curiosity. Although there is still much to learn, astronomers know a great
deal about comets and their orbits. Comets do eventually die, that is, they break up and are
scattered along their orbits in the form of meteoric dust.
