Read the passage and answer questions 11-15

The ancient Greeks considered fire so great a discover that they believed it was a gift of one of the
Titans, Prometheus, to humans. According to a Greek myth, Prometheus was punished by the gods for giving the secret of fire to men. This myth, along with many other stories and customs, shows how much importance ancient people attached to their control of fire. The discovery of fire was essential to the spread of civilization. For instance, through the use of fire, people were able to move into colder climates that were previously too inhospitable for them. This increased the spread of early humans across the world. People who could control fire were able to shelter themselves better by living in caves for the first time in human history. The use of fire might also have affected human physical development. With cooked food, large teeth were unnecessary, and teeth gradually evolved to the smaller ones that characterize modern humans. Fire also made metalworking possible, helping mankind to progress to the Bronze and Iron ages.

In 2002 Steve Fossett became the first man to fly a balloon solo non-stop around the world. The millionaire adventurer had made six previous attempts on the record, but had been very unfortunate. In 1998 he had a lucky escape when his balloon plunged 8,700 metres into the sea. “It was rather terrifying and I was deeply disappointed”, said Fossett afterwards. This time, after leaving the Australian town, the 58-year-old American covered more than 19.000 miles in 13 days. He experienced some frightening moments, especially over the Andes, where it was extremely difficult to keep the balloon stable. Fossett was utterly exhausted after the light, but speaking by satellite phone shortly after landing in Australia, he said, “it is a simply wonderful time for me. Finally after six flights I have succeeded.”
