Most people would say that the world’s tallest mountain is Mount Everest. This mountain in the
\n\n
Himalayas is just over 29,000 feet high.
\n\nHowever, if mountains are measured a little bit differently, then the tallest mountain on Earth
\n\nis Mauna Kea, in the Hawaiian Islands. Mauna Kea is only about 14,000 feet above sea level, so in
\n\ncomparison to Mount Everest it just does not look anywhere near as high as Mount Everest to a
\n\nperson standing at sea level.
\n\nMauna Kea, however, does not begin at sea level. It rises from an ocean floor that is more than
\n\n16,000 feet below the surface of the water. This mountain therefore measures more than 30,000 feet
\n\nfrom it base to its top, making it a higher mountain than Mount Everest.
21. The main idea of the passage is that?
{ ~Mount Everest is the world's tallest mountain
~Mount Everest and Mauna Kea are located in different parts of the world
~Mauna Kea's base is below sea level
=Mauna Kea could be considered the tallest mountain in the world

When Columbus arrived in the Americas in 1492, there were already an estimated thirty to
\n\n
forty million people living in North and South America. It has therefore been quite easy for some to
\n\nrefute the idi that Columbus “discovered” America. How and when these inhabitants came to America
\n\nhas been the source of much scientific research and discussion.
\n\nMost archeologists agree that the first Americans,the true “discoverers” of America,came from
\n\nnortheastern Asia. There is also a considerable amount of proof that inhabitants have been in the
\n\nAmericas for at least 15,000 years.
\n\nTo get to the Americas, these people had to cross over the 55-mile-wide Bering Strait that
\n\nseparates Asia and North America. According to one theory, these people crossed over during
\n\nperiods when a land bridge existed between the two continents. During Ice Ages, so much of the
\n\nEarth’s water was frozen that the sea levels dropped, and it was possible to walk from Asia to North
\n\nAmerica.31. What is the author's main purpose?

Alpha Centauri is a triple-star system. One of the three stars in Alpha Centauri is Proxima
\n\n
Centauri, which is the nearest star to the Earth, except of course for the Sun. The name “Proxima”
\n\ncomes from a Latin word which means “close.”
\n\nEven though Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the Earth outside of our solar system, it is
\n\nnot really close. Interstellar distances are so large that they are almost impossible to imagine. A
\n\nperson traveling in a modern spacecraft would not arrive at Proxima Centauri within this lifetime
\n\nor the next, or even ten lifetimes because the distance is so great. Light travels at a speed of 186,000
\n\nmiles per second, and it still takes light more than four years to travel from Proxima Centauri to the
\n\nEarth.
\n\nAlpha Centauri can be easily seen in the night sky without a telescope from certain parts of the
\n\nEarth. It is the third brightest star in the sky, out of approximately 6,000 visible stars. It cannot be
\n\nseen from most parts of the United States because most of the United States is too far north;
\n\nhowever; it can be seen from the southern parts of the southernmost states.
