Long ago a lot of people thought that the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the sky. And
others thought it was a big ball of cheese!
Then telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon was really another world. They wondered what it was like.
They dreamed of going there.
On July 20, 1969, that dream came true .Two American men landed on the moon. Their names were Neil
Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick
that the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a living had ever made on the moon. And they
could stay there for years and years. There is no wind or rain to wipe them off.
The two men walked on the moon for hours. They picked up rocks to bring back to the earth for study. They dug up dirt to
bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then they climbed back into their moon
landing craft.
Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Micheal Collins in the spaceship
that waited for them above the moon. Then they had set up. And they were off on their long trip back to earth.
Behind them they left the plains and high mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up. And they left

footprints that may last forever.
Câu 46 : The story tells…………………………
A. who had left footprints on the moon before the two men landed there .
B. about the first men to walk on the moon
C.how men found footprints on the moon.
D.what the men brought back from their trip to the moon.
Câu 47 : A telescope…………………….
A. makes faraway things seem closer.
B. makes many of men’s dreams come true.
C. turns the moon into another world
D. makes balls of light seem brighter.
Câu 48: The men brought rocks and dirt from the moon because ………………
A. they might sell them to scientists.
B. they wanted to keep them as souvenirs.
C. people wanted to use them to learn about the moon
D. they wanted something to show they were there.
Câu 49 : The American machines will almost likely stay on the moon until………………
A. rain and wind destroy them
B. a storm covers them with dust
C. they become rusty and break to pieces.
D. someone takes them away
Câu 50 : The next people who go to the moon most likely could……………………
A.find that dust has wiped off the two men’s footprints
B. leave the first set of footprints on the moon.
C.Find the places where Armstrong and Aldrin walked.
D.Find that the machines have disappeared.
