Reading Comprehension. Read the paragraphs below then answer the questions that follow. Write only the letter.

A.

Does a fish drink? All living things must drink, and they require a fresh supply of water often. A person can go without food for many days, but he or she cannot go for long without water. Fishes drink and fishes that live in salt water must drink salt water. However, when we watch them in an aquarium and see them opening and closing their mouths, we must not assume that they are drinking. Fishes need water for its oxygen. The water that they seem to be gulping gives them oxygen, which is in the water. On the other hand, when a fish drinks, it swallows water, just as we do. What is the difference between a fruit and a vegetable? Well, we know that all fruits bear seeds. Think of an apple or an orange. However, squash, peppers, and tomatoes have seeds in them. Are they fruits? In a scientific sense, they are. However, you wouldn't want to eat them for dessert, as you would an apple or a pear. We don't call them fruits, because they are not sweet, even though, scientifically, they are fruits. Why doesn't the air remain still? The reason is that air, when it becomes heated, becomes lighter, and it rises. When it rises, other air moves in to take its place. The temperature of air becomes like the surface of the earth over which it travels. Over dry land, the air can become very hot. Then, when the sun goes down, it cools off quickly. Over water the air heats up more slowly and cools off more slowly. These changes cause the movement of air, which we call wind. Why is it impossible to sink in the Dead Sea? The reason is that, not only is the water in the Dead Sea heavier than ocean water and much heavier than fresh water, but it is also heavier than a person's body, when equal parts are measured. You can't sink in something that is heavier than you are. The reason for the heaviness is extreme saltiness. Are there materials that would sink in the Dead Sea? Yes, and I'll bet that you can think of some.

We know that gold and silver are elements. An element consists of atoms of only one kind, unlike water, which consists of both hydrogen and oxygen. Another element is radium. Radium is especially interesting, because it produces heat. When soil is carried by rivers down to the sea and falls to the bottom, it often carries radium in it. As more and more soil is washed down into the ocean, more and more radium is carried in it. There, as elsewhere, it constantly produces heat. VII.
