READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions set below it.
Can we see that the earth is a globe? Yes, we can, when we watch a ship that sails out to sea. If we watch
closely, we see the ship begin to disappear. The bottom of the ship disappears first, and then the ship seems
to sink lower and lower, until we can only see the top of the ship, and then we see nothing at all. What is
hiding the ship from us? It is the earth. Stick a pin most of the way into an orange, and slowly turn the
orange away from you. You will see the pin disappear, just as a ship does on the earth.
