II. READING
Read the passage and do the tasks that follow. (2.5 pts)
The spaceship flew around the new planet several times. The planet was blue and
green. They couldn't see the surface of the planet because there were too many white
clouds. The spaceship descended slowly through the clouds and landed in the middle of
a green forest. The two astronauts put on their space suits, opened the door, climbed
carefully down the ladder, and stepped onto the planet. The woman looked at a small
control unit on her arm and said to the man. "We can breathe the air... it's a mixture of
oxygen and nitrogen”. They looked at everything carefully. All the plants and animals
looked new and strange. They couldn't find any intelligent life.
After several hours, they returned to their spaceship. Everything looked normal. The
man switched on the controls, but nothing happened. The engines were not working.
He switched on the computer, but it didn't work, either. "Mary," he said, "we're stuck
here... we can't take off!”. She replied "Don’t worry, John. They'll rescue us soon."
