(11-20) Read the passage. Are the statements True or False?
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 silent 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 151
o
C below zero. But during the day the temperature
rises to 100
o
C above zero.
There are great round holes 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 (1/6) of what you weigh on earth.
If you weigh 50 kilos, on the moon you weigh only a little more than 8 kilos. You will be able to jump very high, even
higher than an Olympic Champion. You can take very long steps as well. And ... maybe you won’t sleep very well
because one day on the moon lasts for two weeks.
So, is there life on the moon? I’ll leave the question for you to answer yourself.
