B/ Reading Comprehension
Dear John,
How are you? I’m still working on a farm, but unfortunately I am going to leave here at the end of
winter. Let me tell you why.
We had a terrible time a month ago. Thousands of insects came and ate many of the crops in the fields.
The farmer is very worried because he thinks the insects will come again and destroy all the crops. He
became so worried that he sold the farm last week, and that is why I have to leave here.
Soon I will have to look for another job. Do you think you could help me find one? I like working on
farms, so if you know anyone who needs a hard worker, please recommend me to them. I know that
you are very busy at the moment and that you don’t have much free time.
But I really hope you can find time to help me. I don’t know what else to do.
If I can’t find a job, I’ll have to go back home and stay with my parents. I know they would be very
upset if I did that. They are old and they don’t have much money. They couldn’t support me as well as
themselves.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Your friend,
David

FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON

     Long ago a lot of people thought 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.

     The 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 thing 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 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 Michael Collins in the spaceship that waited for them above the moon. Then they were off on their trip back to earth. Behind them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up. And they left footprints that may last forever.

          B. people wanted to use them to learn about the moon.

          C. they wanted to keep them as souvenirs.

          D. they might sell them to scientists.
