There is a common expression in the English language referring to a blue moon. When
people say that something happens only once in a blue moon; they mean that it happens only very
rarely, once in a great while. This expression has been around for at least a century and a half;
there are references to this expression that date from the second half of the nineteenth century.

The expression “a blue moon” has come to refer to the second full moon occurring in any given
calendar month. A second full moon is not called a blue moon because it is particularly blue or is
any different in hue from the first full moon of the month. Instead, it is called a blue moon because
it is so rare. The moon needs a little more than 29 days to complete the cycle from full moon to
full moon. Because every month except February has more than 29 days, every month will have at
least one full moon (except February, which will have a full moon unless there is a full moon at
the very end of January and another full moon at the very beginning of March). It is on the
occasion when a given calendar month has a second full moon that a blue moon occurs. This does
not happen very often, only three or four times in a decade
The blue moons of today are called blue moons because of their rarity and not because of their
color; however, the expression “blue moon” may have come into existence in reference to unusual
circumstances in which the moon actually appeared blue. Certain natural phenomena of gigantic
proportions can actually change the appearance of the moon from Earth. The eruption of the
Krakatao volcano in 1883 left dust particles in the atmosphere, which clouded the sun and gave
the moon a bluish tint. This particular occurrence of the blue moon may have given rise to the
expression that we use today. Another example occurred more than a century later. When Mount
Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, the moon again took on a blue tint.
Câu 26: This passage is about _______.
A. an idiomatic expression
B. an usual color
C. a month on the calendar
D. a phase of the moon
Câu 27: How long has the expression “once in a blue moon” been around?
A. For around 50 years B. for less than 100 years
C. For more than 100 years D. For 200 years.
Câu 28: “A blue moon” could be best described as
A. a full moon that is not blue in color
B. a new moon that is blue in color
C. a full moon that is blue in color
D. a new moon that is not blue in color

Câu 29: How many blue moons would there most likely be in a century?
A. 4 B. 35 c. 70 D. 100
Câu 30: According to the passage, the moon actually looked blue_______.
A. After large volcanic eruption
B. When it occurred late in the month
C. Several times a year
D. During the month of Feb

Children who appear intelligent and have normal sight and hearing may nevertheless have
learning disabilities in writing; syscalculia, difficulty with numbers; and auditory-memory
problems that prevent the child from remembering what has just been said. Considered and
“invisible” handicap, such learning disabilities can be detected by alert parents before the children
go to school. If the child at about thirty months is not developing normal language skills,
something is amiss. A child who cannot do puzzles or put pegs in holes lacks perceptual – motor
skills. Kindergartners should recognize the ABCs. First- graders may commonly reverse their
letters, writing a d for a b, but if they are still doing this at the start of second grade, they should be
tested for learning disabilities. Proper and early treatment is essential.
