If asked toestimate the age of the oldest living trees on Earth, they often come up with guesses in theneighborhood of two or perhaps three hundred years. The real answer is considerably larger thanthat, more than five thousand years.The tree that wins the prize for its considerable maturity is the bristlecone pine ofCalifornia. This venerable pine predates wonders of the ancient world such as the pyramids ofEgypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and the Colossus of Rhodes. It is not nearly as tall as thegiant redwood that is also found in California, and in fact it is actually not very tall compared withmany other trees, often little more than five meters in height. This relatively short height may beone of the factors that aid the bristlecone pine living to ripe old age-high winds and inclementweather cannot easily reach the shorter trees and cause damage. An additional factor thatcontributes to the long life of the bristlecone pine is that this type of tree has high percentage ofresin, which prevents rot from developing in the tree trunk and branches.(TOEFL Reading)Question 29.

However, it's extremely light if youcould find big enough ocean to put it in, it would float! That's because Saturn is mostly made ofgases, including helium, the gases that make balloons float. But it's the rings around Saturn thatgive the planet its unique look. And for hundreds of years, it's those rings that people have found soattractive.At first, Saturn looks like it has just one large ring. However, it actually has seven majorrings, and each is made up of thousands of smaller ones. In total, the rings are more than 250,000kilometers across that's over two-thirds of the distance from Earth to our moon! In spite of this,the rings are quite thin. In fact, on average, they're less than 50 meters thick.From Earth, the rings look like they are solid, with clear edges. However, this is deceptive They areactually made from billions of particles of rock and ice. Some particles are as small as grain ofsand. Others are the size of mountains.Scientists now know lot about Saturn, but it still holds many mysteries. Because of this, 17countries worked together to build spacecraft, called Cassini. Launched in October 1997, Cassinistarted sending information from Saturn to Earth in 2004. Its images and videos have beenextremely valuable. For example, in 2008, scientists found evidence that one of Saturn's moonsmight contain basic life forms.All these years later, Cassini still sends daily information back to Earth. Using this data,scientists will continue to make exciting new discoveries for many years to come.(From Reading Adventure 3)Question 37. According to the passage, which is NOT TRUE about Saturn?A.
