Unit 10. Exercise 14. Read and listen to the text and write true or false for each sentence given below.

Ready for the science exam.

Are you ready for your science exam, never?

I am very excited, Mom. I don't know. Can you ask me some questions about the solar system?

Of course, never. But it is your favourite lesson. You read a lot of books and magazines about space every day.

I'm sure you'll be successful.

I hope, Mom. But there's a lot of information about space. They can ask anything.

True, but you can answer them all. Let's start. How many planets are there in our solar system?

8. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

What do you know about planets?

Lots of things. Jupiter is the biggest planet. Uranus is cooler than Saturn. Jupiter is larger than Saturn.

Mars is also called the Red Planet because of the iron oxide on its surface.

Is there any water on the surface of Mars?

In 2003, the Mars exploration mission began. Scientists discovered some evidence of water.

Wow. So is there life on Mars?

We don't know, Mom.

Okay, last question. When did scientists discover Pluto?

I think they discovered it in 1930.

Well done, never. I think you are ready for the exam. Don't worry. Good luck.

Thanks, Mom.
