Read the passage and choose the correct answers:
The Hubble Space Telescope was named in honor of Edwin Hubble, a famous astronomer.
Hubble was born in 1889. His early life was quite ordinary. There is little hint of the remarkable work he would eventually do. In fact, it appeared that Hubble was destined to be an athlete. He excelled in Math, science and sports in high school. He won a scholarship to the University of Chicago, where he earned another scholarship in physics. He graduated from the University of Chicago in 1910. He earned degrees in both Math and astronomy. He then went to Oxford University in England to study law, not his real love, astronomy, because of a promise he had made to his father. In 1913, he earned his degree in law and returned to the U.S. to start his own law office. But after just one year, he returned to his true interest - astronomy. He earned a doctorate in astronomy in 1917, then received an invitation to work at the Mt. Wilson Observatory in California.
Hubble made four major contributions to astronomy. First, he found galaxies outside of ours. Second, he developed a way of grouping galaxies. He could determine their age, shape, brightness, and distance. By grouping galaxies, he made his third finding. He determined that galaxies are separate and take up unique areas in space. His fourth finding was his most important. He found that universe was constantly expanding or moving outward. This was a basis for the ‘Bing Bang Theory’.
Hubble received many honors and awards for his efforts; however, he never received the Nobel Prize because there was no Nobel Prize given to the field of astronomy. He died in 1953.
The word ‘destined ‘means




A.made
B.influenced
C.planned
D.forced

Read the passage and choose the correct answers:
Marie Curie was born in Warsaw on November 7, 1867. She received a general education in local schools and some scientific training from her father. As a brilliant student, she harboured the dream of a scientific career, which was impossible for a woman at that time. To save money for a study tour abroad, she had to work as a private tutor. Finally, in 1891, Marie, with very little money to live on, came to Paris to realize her dream at the Sorbonne. Despite her difficult living conditions, she worked extremely hard. She earned a physics degree with flying colors, and went on to take another degree in mathematics. She met Pierre Curie in the School of Physics in 1894 and in the following year they got married. From then on, they worked together on their research. In 1903, Marie became the first woman to receive a PhD from the Sorbonne. She was the first woman in France to be a university professor. Soon after, she was awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for determining the atomic weight of radium.
