This text is for question number 22 to 25.

Stonehenge is a massive stone monument located on a chalky plain north of the modern-

daycity of Salisbury, England. Research shows thatthe site has continuously evolved over a period ofabout 10,000years. The structurethatwe call ‖Stonehenge" was built between roughly

5,000and 4,000years ago and was one part of a larger sacred landscape that included a massive stonemonument thatwas 15times the size of Stonehenge.

The biggest of Stonehenge's stones, known as sarsens, are up to 30 feet (9 meters) tall and weigh 25tons (22.6 metric tons) on average. It is widely believed thatthey were broughtfrom Marlborough Downs, a distance of 20 miles (32 kilometers) tothe north.

Smaller stones, referred to as "bluestones‖ (a bluish tinge when wet or freshlybroken), weigh up to 4tons and come from different sites in western Wales, having beentransported as far as 140 miles. It's unknown how people in antiquity moved them thatfar. Recent experiments showthat it is possible for a one-ton stone to be moved by a dozenpeople on a wooden trackway, but whetherthis technique was actually used by the ancientbuilders is uncertain.

The Magic Veil

A young farmer lived an impoverished existence in his little hut, but he never complained

becausethe beauty of nature was more precious to his sensitive soul than any wealth.

One day his attention was caught by a lovely smell coming from the woods. He followed the sweetfragrance until he reached a pine tree and saw, caught in the branches, an unbelievably beautifulveil, woven from rays of sunshine, beams of moonlight, and studded all over with stars. The youngman had just disentangled the veil from the tree, when there appeared a young maiden who askedfor it back. At first the young man refused, at which the unknown girl burst into tears. "I am a nymph,‖ she explained, ―and without my veil I will never again be able to rejoin my sisters.‖


‖If you really are a nymph, then you can prove it,‖ said the young man, ‖by dancing for me asonly nymphs know how to dance." So the maiden began to dance in mid-air, her veil flying roundand round the farmer, and from the veil there fell thousands and thousands of flowers.

Later, the farmer never could tell if he had dreamt it all, or if it had really happened, but from that day on the young man rejoiced even more in the beauty of nature.

Light is a form of energy we can see when it is reflected off the surface of an object. It is

visible to the human eye and is responsible for the sense of sight. It is a form of energy we can see when it is reflected off the surface of an object.

Light waves travel through the air from place to place and do not carry matter. Light is believed to travel faster than anything in the universe. It travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. Light is unable to travel through solids, but it can travel through liquids and gases.


There are two properties of light, reflection and refraction. Reflection is when light bounces off a surface which then allows the object to be visible to the eye. For example, when the moon is seen in the sky, it is because the light from the sun reflects off the surface of the moon. While refraction is when a ray of light passes from a transparent medium to another transparent medium such as from air to water, it changes speed and the way it bends.


What does the text mostly tell us about?

a)

Types of reflection

b)

Refraction properties

c)

The definition of light

d)

Light and its properties
