Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
Galileo Galilei, one of the first modern scientists, was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1564. About
twenty years later he attended the University of Pisa. At first he studied philosophy, but later he
studied mathematics and astronomy. He was interested in the way the earth and other planets
move around the sun. He made the telescope, which made far-away things look larger and easier
to examine. He also started the new way of working in science. Before Galieo, scientists did not
do experiments. They just guessed about how something happened. Galileo was different. He did
not just make guesses. He did experiments and watched to see what happened.
Galileo was famous for his study of how things fall. He was the first person to do
experiments about this problem. Before, people thought that heavy things always fell faster than
light things. He found out that this was not true. He took a heavy ball and a light ball and he
dropped them both from a high place. They fell at the same speed. This meant that weight is not
important. This is the law of falling bodies. It is an important law for understanding our world.
The life of the scientist was not always easy in the 1500s. For example, Galileo got into
trouble because of his scientific ideas. His ideas were not the same as the religious ideas at the
time. Many religious people did not agree with him. During his whole life he had to worry about
this. He even went to prison for a while. But no one could stop him from thinking. He continued
to look for scientific answers to his questions about the world.
