Read the Passage and answer the question that follow (Question 16 to 20)
The first woman to travel in space was Soviet cosmonaut, Valentina Tereshkova. She was born on 6 March 1937, in the village of Bolshoye Maslennikovo in central Russia. Her mother was a textile worker, and her father was a tractor driver who was later recognised as a war hero during the Second World War. At the time of his death on the Finnish front, Tereshkova was only two years old.
After leaving school, Tereshkova followed her mother into work at a textile factory. Her first adventure of flying was when she joined a local skydiving and parachutist club. It was her hobby of jumping out of planes that appealed to the Soviets’ space programme committee. On applying to the cosmonaut corps, Tereshkova was eventually chosen from more than 400 other candidates.
Tereshkova received 18 months of severe training with the Soviet Air Force after her selection. These tests studied her abilities to cope physically under the extremes of gravity, as well as handle challenges such as emergency management and the isolation of being in space alone. At the age of 24, she was honourably inducted into the Soviet Air Force. On 16 June 1963, Tereshkova was launched on a solo mission aboard the spacecraft, Vostok 6. She spent more than 70 hours orbiting the Earth, two years after Yuri Gagarin’s first human-crewed flight in space. Tereshkova still holds the title of the youngest and the only woman to have been on a solo space mission.
Today, she holds the position of Deputy Chair for the Committee for International Affairs in Russia. She also remains active within the space community and is quoted as suggesting that she would like to fly to Mars - even if it were a one-way trip.

Read the Passage and answer the question that follow (Question 21 to 25)
A tiny mouse was born between two bags of corn kernels in a cargo ship’s hold. Her mother had been chased away and had disappeared out-of-view. Frightened, the baby mouse snuggled between the bags and waited. The waves rocked the vessel gently and she soon fell asleep.
A loud horn startled her out of her dreams. The ship stopped, and many voices were heard, along with the footsteps going back and forth.
The baby mouse stood still, her heart pounding like a drum roll, until someone lifted up one of the bags and yelled, “Marcos, hand me the broom. I have found another mouse!” As he turned to look at the mouse again, she had disappeared. She was already making her way out of the ship, scurrying between people’s legs, down the ramp and onto the dock. Someone stepped on her tail, but she managed to escape.
The baby mouse stopped running and looked around. The warm sand felt good under her paws. The salty wind blew gently between her ears, carrying dolphins’ conversations and seagulls’ cries.
The baby mouse could see the ship from far away. She watched as sailors, appearing to be the size of corn kernels, went up and down the ramp, carrying wooden cases and other supplies.
The baby mouse realized how hungry she was. She nibbled on a seaweed and spat it back out. She was lucky enough to find a plump, juicy berry to fill up her minuscule stomach. She lingered a bit longer to watch the sunset, reflecting on the sea in a million colours, and then yawned.
Using a piece of sea sponge as a pillow, the little mouse snuggled in an empty seashell and drifted off to sleep. That was the beginning of her new life as a sea mouse.
