Numbers 1 through 3.
The Clay Army
1 Thousands of years ago, a powerful king named Qin Shi
Huangdi ruled China. He belonged to one of China’s great
dynasties, or ruling families. He is famous today, but not for
the same reasons as other kings. Some kings become famous
for the temples they built. Others are famous for their ideas.
Qin Shi Huangdi was famous for a different reason. He was
famous for the army he left behind when he died.
2 Qin Shi Huangdi was a great general who defeated many
enemies. He believed that his enemies might attack him after
he died. For that reason, he did not want to be buried alone.
He thought that if he had an army with him, he would be safe.
3 He ordered his workers to make thousands of clay soldiers.
These soldiers looked just like a real army. Each clay soldier
was just as big as a real person. Many of them had real
weapons. When Qin Shi Huangdi died, his body was placed
in a huge tomb. The clay soldiers were put in the tomb with
him. They were lined up in rows like a real army.
4 After a while, people forgot about the tomb. Then,
thousands of years later, a group of workers who were
digging a well found very old pieces of clay. Scientists
thought these pieces of clay might be an important part of
China’s history. They wanted to write their findings down
and share them with other scientists. So they decided to travel
to that part of China and begin digging deeper. What they
discovered amazed them. They had found the tomb of Qin Shi
Huangdi.
5 Today, the tomb is a museum. The museum has three
sections with soldiers. The largest section has more than
6,000 soldiers and horses. They are arranged in columns.
Another section has about 1,000 soldiers and about
90 chariots.
6 Many of the soldiers look just as they did when they were
put in the tomb. Some of the soldiers are on horses. Some look
angry. Others hold weapons. Some soldiers look as if they are
ready to fight. There also are more than 10,000 weapons in the
tomb. These include swords, daggers, spears, and axes.
7 Scientists were overjoyed that the tomb was found. With
this discovery, they would be able to preserve an important
part of China’s heritage. They would be able to protect it so
that other generations could learn about it. Now, people from
all over the world visit the tomb to see this famous clay army.

Question 4
Read the passage “Arnaldo Tamayo-Mendez’s Space Flight” and then
answer Numbers 4 through 6.
Arnaldo Tamayo-Mendez’s Space Flight
1 Arnaldo Tamayo-Mendez made history on September 18,
1980. On that day, he flew into space. He became the first
Cuban in space. Tamayo-Mendez’s job in space was to study
space sickness. Many people hoped that a cure could be found.
2 Arnaldo Tamayo-Mendez was born in Guantánamo, Cuba,
on January 29, 1942. He came from a poor family. He wanted
to figure out a way to help feed them. He went to work at age
12 to help support his family. He started picking vegetables.
He also shined shoes. Later, he worked as a carpenter.
Tamayo-Mendez stayed in school while he worked.
3 In 1959, he decided to join the Cuban army. His job was to
fix and build airplanes. Soon he became interested in flying
planes. He joined the Cuban Air Force in 1962. He became
leader of his troop. He later became a flying teacher. He
logged over 1,400 hours of flying time.
4 In 1978, Tamayo-Mendez’s plans changed. He decided
to become a cosmonaut. He went to Russia for his training.
There, he prepared for his trip on the Soyuz 38. This ship
would make him famous.
5 Tamayo-Mendez went into space in September 1980. The
Soyuz 38 docked on Salyut 6. This was a Russian space station.
6 Finally, the Soyuz 38 left Salyut 6 for its return trip to
Earth. The ship landed in the middle of the night. It was a
challenging landing because of the darkness. Tamayo-Mendez
handled it well and landed the spacecraft safely.
7 The goal of the trip was to study the causes of space
sickness. Sadly, no cure was found. The team did collect
useful information, however. The work of Cuba’s first man in
space was an important step in understanding what happens
to people when they leave Earth’s atmosphere.
8 Tamayo-Mendez retired from the space program after
completing his trip to Salyut 6. Once home in Cuba, he went
back to work with the Air Force. He later became Director of
Organization for Civil Defense in Cuba. In his memories, he
still soars in space.
