4 . Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 80 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Caves are important in many areas of science. Earth scientists study how rock forms and changes in caves. Biologists visit caves, too, to learn about the unusual species that live in them.

However, caves are important for another reason. On the walls of some caves are paintings. They were made by people who lived thousands of years ago. Some of the earliest paintings, like the ones in EL Castillo Cave in Spain, are forty thousand years old. Some are outlines of hands or simple designs. Others show animals or people hunting. They were painted using natural red, orange, white and black minerals. These works of art connect us with people who lived long ago.

Interestingly, most of these cave paints were not found by scientists. They were found by people exploring caves for fun. For example, the cave paintings in Lascaux, France, were found in 1940 by a group of boys. They had no idea that the pictures they found on the walls of the cave were over seventeen thousand years old. Over the years, people have found these types of amazing paintings in sites all over the world.

You can explore these caves, too. Some have become very popular tourist sites. They are easy to visit and have underground tours for the public. However, exploring other caves can be more difficult. You must be careful, and you need to be prepared for cold, darkness and danger. And you might have to walk through mud or water. Dress warmly and bring special equipment, such as helmet with a light. But these underground worlds are so fascinating that it is worth the trouble.
