A. People used to think that the closer you went to the Sun, the hotter it would be. But as hot air rises, it expands and cools, so the higher you go the colder it is. Air cools by 3°C for every 305 m it rises. This is why the tops of mountains are cold.

B. The first successful submarine was built in the 1620s by a Dutch inventor, Cornelius van Drebbel. It had a wooden frame covered in greased leather and was rowed along with 12 oars [ɔ:z]. The biggest submarines today are Russian nuclear submarines. Larger than passenger liners, they can stay under for two years without refueling.

C. There is less oxygen the higher up you go. Mountain people and animals can live at great heights because they have bigger hearts and lungs, which carry more blood, and therefore more oxygen. Quechua Indians live 3,650 m up in the Andes ['ændɪz], where they grow potatoes and corn, and herd sheep.

D. The human race is about to enter a new age of travelling and living in space. Shuttles will one day make journeys into space as common as ordinary airplane flights today. Space cities holding thousands of people will circle the Earth, metals will be mined, and one day special trees might be developed so that they can grow on comets and distant planets.

E. Modern oil tankers are the largest ships ever built. The Seawise Giant is one of the biggest tankers of all. Fully loaded it weighs 574,000 tons and is as long as 15 tennis courts laid end to end. A ship big like this takes over 6 km to stop at sea.

F. Plans have been suggested for building giant colonies in space, housing thousands of people. The land areas would be on the inside surfaces of giant cylinders or wheels which would spin round to provide gravity similar to the Earth’s. Inside people could walk around as freely as on Earth and grow their own food.
