A- Read the following text then do the tasks below: The chances of finding someone with exactly the same fingerprints as you is one in 64 billion – so the answer is almost yes. Even identical twins don’t have the same fingerprints. Fingerprints are formed while the unborn baby is developing. They help us to grip and handle objects. So they aren’t only useful for the police! Text messages use a very small amount of data compared to voice calls. They also only need a very short connection time. When there is a weak signal, it may be long enough for a text, but not for a voice call. Also if you send a message that is out of range, the network resends it later. The manufacturers make hard centres of sugar and water. These are easy to cover in chocolate. The hard centres contain an enzyme (a substance that causes a chemical reaction to happen). The chocolates are heated to a temperature which doesn’t melt the chocolate, but makes the enzyme partly dissolve the centre. ------------------------------------------------------------ Choose the right answer (a, b or c) to complete the following: (6 marks) 1.

As you know, fire needs oxygen. So you would think it couldn’t work on the Moon. But many fireworks have a chemical mix that contains a source of oxygen, so they could still work. And with the Moon’s low gravity, a firework could fly up several kilometers! Mobile phones and other electronic gadgets contain gold, silver and copper. Millions of them are broken up so the metal can be extracted. Many countries have collection bins for people to recycle their old phones. So don’t throw your old phone in the bin.
