century. The first successful orbital launch was made by the Soviet
Union in 1957 which was called “Sputnik”. When the topic “SPACE
EXPLORATION” is put (3)_______ the table, a question has often
been asked: “Why should we spend money on NASA while there are
so (4) _______ problems here on Earth?” However, this might be
partially wrong since exploring the unknown may help us progress.

The advantages of space exploration include the materials (5)

________ can be obtained from outer space. For instance, asteroids
have iron and nickel which could be utilized to satisfy the (6)
________ for metal. Therefore, numerous commercial companies
have invested in developing technology for asteroid mining. Several
comets and asteroids (7) ________ solid water in them. This water
can be used for astronauts and scientists in space stations. The
water can also be broken down to hydrogen which can be used as
(8) ______ for the rockets. Scientists also believe that dinosaurs

VII. Read the following passage and choose the best answer
for each question.

Where will you go on your next vacation? Disneyland? Sea World?

Outer space?

That’s right; tourists are now paying big bucks to travel into space
with astronauts! The first space tourist was Dennis Tito, an
American businessman. In 2001, he paid about $20 million to ride
on a Russian rocket to the International Space Station. The Space
Station circles 220 miles above Earth. Tito stayed on the station for
a week, hanging out with astronauts and eating space food. The
latest space tourist was Anousheh Ansari, an Iranian-born woman
from the United States who went to the Space Station in mid-
September 2006.
How safe is space travel? Apart from the risk of crashing, space
tourists have some special things to worry about. Earth’s
atmosphere protects us from dangerous radiation from the sun.
Space travelers are exposed to more of the sun’s rays. But for
tourists spending only a few days or weeks in space, the radiation
probably isn’t harmful.

A bigger problem might be space sickness. Without Earth’s gravity

to hold them down, visitors to the Space Station float around inside
the craft. It may look like fun on TV, but it can make first-time
space travelers dizzy and sick. Luckily, the sickness usually wears
off quickly. Then space tourists can enjoy their trip and the amazing
view of Earth.

A. Will be available to everyone

A. Astronauts want to make a lot of money

B. Astronaut food is very expensive

 C. Space equipment and fuel is expensive

D. There are high taxes on space travel

A. A poem

B. fiction

C. a biography

D. non-fiction

5. Why are space travelers exposed to more radiation?

A. Their spacesuits are too thin to protect them.

B. They lack protection provided by Earth’s atmosphere.

C. They stay in the space for such a long time.

D. They float around inside the craft and have space sickness.

by a local man named Ho Khanh in 1991, and became known

Dear Mai,

I’m very pleased that we’re going to be pen pals. I’ll tell you a little
about myself, and you can do the same when you write to me.

I live in an area of London called Maida Vale. It’s quite near the
centre, but there are parks nearby where I often take my dog,
Mickey, for a walk. I live with my parents and my younger brother,
Paul. My father works for the post office and my mother has a part-
time job as a nurse.
I go to the local comprehensive school, where I have a lot of
friends. I like most subjects, but not all of them! In the evening I
sometimes visit friends or stay at home and listen to music, and at
the weekends I like going swimming or horse-riding.

At the moment I’m working very hard because I have exams soon,
so I’m spending a lot of time in the library.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Write soon!

Best wishes,

Mary
