An empty drinking glass and an empty room, in fact, are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass.Air, as a gas, has no definite shape, but because it is matter, it takes up space and it has weight.

Push the upside down glass, holding straight up and down, into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of the water, the cloth is still dry. The air inside the glass shows that it takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.（1）Since air is matter, it has _. A . room, and weight as wellB . both room and shapeC . either room or weightD . neither shape nor weight（2）The word Stuff means _ in Chinese.
