Good evening. Welcome to our Science for Fun Program. This week
we've received a lot of questions asking about life on the moon. We've talked
to some experts and this is what we've found out. There is no water or air on
the moon. It is all (51) because there is no air. Of course,
there will be no music, no sounds. There are no rivers and no lakes. At night
it is very cold. The temperature goes down to 151C below zero. But during
the day the temperature rises to 100C above zero.
There are great round (52) on the moon. They look
like big lakes. They are called craters. There are more than 30,000 craters
on the moon. There are also high mountains. The highest mountains on the
moon are about 26,000 feet or 8,000 meters high.
And here is something very interesting to know: on the moon you
weigh one sixth (53) what you weigh on earth. If you weigh
50 kilos, on the moon you (54) weigh only a little more than
8 kilos. You will be able to jump very high, even higher than an Olympic
Champion. You can (55)very long steps as well. And
Maybe you wont sleep very well because one day on the moon lasts for
two weeks.

So, is there life on the moon? Ill leave the question for you to answer
yourself.

Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of
various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts
and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language
barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which
motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute
have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of
whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used
internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either
internationally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or
indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while
shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a
system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code,
and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and
instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other
systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
56. Which of the following best summarizes this
passage?
A. When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of
communication.
B. Everybody uses only one form of communication.
C. Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners.
D. Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the
fastest.

57. The word “these” refers to ……………………
A. tourists B. the deaf and the mute
C. thoughts and feelings D. sign
language motions
58. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT
……………………
A. there are many forms of communication in existence today.
B. verbalization is the most common form of communication.
C. the deaf and mute use an oral form of communication.
D. ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by body language.
59. People need to communicate in order to
……………………
A. create language barriers B. keep from reading with their
fingertips
C. be picturesque and exact D. express thoughts and feelings
60. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Importance of Sign Language B. The Many
Forms of Communication
C. Ways of Expressing Feelings D. Picturesque Symbols of
Communication
