Câu 2: Read the passage carefully and choose the best option (A, B, C or D).
Galileo Galilei was one of the first modern scientists. He was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1564. At first, he studied philosophy, but later he studied mathematics and astronomy. He was interested in the way the earth and other planets move around the sun. He found out several important facts about our world. He also started a new way of working in science. Before Galileo, scientists didn’t do experiments. They just guessed about how something happened. Galileo was different. He did not just make guesses. He did experiments and watched to see what happened.
Galileo was famous for his study of how things fall. He was the first person to do experiments about this problem. Before, people thought that heavy things fell faster than light things. He found out that this was not true. He took a heavy ball and a light ball and he dropped them both from a high place. They fell at the same speed. This meant that weight is not important. This is the law of falling bodies. It is an important law for understanding our world.
The life of the scientist was not always easy in the 1500s. For example, Galileo got into trouble because of his scientific ideas. His ideas were not the same as the religious ideas at the same time. Many religious people did not agree with him. During his whole life he had to worry about this. He even went to prison for a while. But no one could stop him from thinking. He continued to look for scientific answers to his questions about the world.

Dịch:
Galileo Galilei là một trong những nhà khoa học hiện đại đầu tiên. Ông sinh ra ở Pisa, Ý, năm 1564. Lúc đầu, ông học triết học, nhưng sau đó ông học toán học và thiên văn học. Ông quan tâm đến cách trái đất và các hành tinh khác di chuyển xung quanh mặt trời. Ông đã tìm ra một số sự thật quan trọng về thế giới của chúng ta. Ông cũng bắt đầu một cách làm việc khoa học mới. Trước Galileo, các nhà khoa học không làm thí nghiệm. Họ chỉ đoán về chuyện đã xảy ra như thế nào. Galileo thì khác. Ông không chỉ đưa ra phỏng đoán. Anh ấy đã làm thí nghiệm và theo dõi để xem điều gì đã xảy ra.
Galileo nổi tiếng với nghiên cứu về cách mọi vật rơi xuống. Ông là người đầu tiên làm thí nghiệm về vấn đề này. Trước đây, người ta cho rằng vật nặng rơi nhanh hơn vật nhẹ. Ông phát hiện ra rằng điều này là không đúng sự thật. Anh ấy lấy một quả bóng nặng và một quả bóng nhẹ rồi thả cả hai từ trên cao xuống. Họ rơi cùng một tốc độ. Điều này có nghĩa là trọng lượng không quan trọng. Đây là quy luật của vật rơi. Đó là một quy luật quan trọng để hiểu thế giới của chúng ta.
Cuộc sống của nhà khoa học không phải lúc nào cũng dễ dàng vào những năm 1500. Ví dụ, Galileo gặp rắc rối vì những ý tưởng khoa học của mình. Ý tưởng của ông không giống với ý tưởng tôn giáo cùng thời. Nhiều người theo đạo không đồng ý với ông. Trong suốt cuộc đời ông đã phải lo lắng về điều này. Anh ta thậm chí đã đi tù một thời gian. Nhưng không ai có thể ngăn anh suy nghĩ. Anh tiếp tục tìm kiếm câu trả lời khoa học cho những câu hỏi của mình về thế giới.
