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 Galileo; 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.
