6.Read the following excerpt from H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, and answer the question that follows:

The secular cooling that must someday overtake our planet has already gone far indeed with our neighbour. Its physical condition is still largely a mystery, but we know now that even in its equatorial region the midday temperature barely approaches that of our coldest winter. Its air is much more attenuated than ours, its oceans have shrunk until they cover but a third of its surface, and as its slow seasons change huge snowcaps gather and melt about either pole and periodically inundate its temperate zones. That last stage of exhaustion, which to us is still incredibly remote, has become a present-day problem for the inhabitants of Mars.

Musical theatre changed my life. When I was a child, I was always a problem for my parents. I never wanted to go to school, study my homework, or do my chores. No one knew how to control me. My mom once said that she was at her wits' end by the time I turned 13 years old. The truth was that I had become insecure, and I hid from my fears by pretending to be too "bored" to do any real work. That was when my parents signed me up for stage classes. Acting and singing not only showed me my true potential, they taught me an essential fact: life is a team effort, and we all have different skills that we use together to make progress. Through lessons, sweat, and tears, my experience of working in musical theatre has helped me become the well-rounded adult I am today. I am forever thankful to my parents for not giving up on me and for sending me to classes!
