The Americans are keen to win the race to send human beings to Mars. In 1992, the new boss of NASA, Dan Goldin, called on the American people to be the first to send explorers to another planet in the solar system. He reminded them of the symbolic gift carried to the moon and back by the Apollo 11 mission. It bears a message intended for the crew of the first spaceship to visit Mars. Goldin thinks it is time to begin the preparation for this historic journey. His speech echoed the words of the President, who promised that in 2019, 50 years after Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon, the first astronaut would stand on Mars.

By the end of the twentieth century, various unmanned spaceships will have thoroughly investigated the surface of the planet. But, however clever a robot may be, it cannot match the type of information which can be gained -from direct human experience. The first geologist on the moon, Harrison Schmitt, was capable of interpreting the story of the landscape on the spot. Until humans walk on the red deserts of Mars, we will not be able to determine the history of this frozen world in any detail.

Question 27: Who called on the Americans to be the first to send explorers to another planet in the solar system?

A. The president                 

B. Dan Goldin                                 

C. Neil Armstrong   

D. Harrison Schmitt
Question 28: According to the American President, when would the first astronaut probably stand on Mars?

A. 1969                                 

B. 1992                                 

C. 2019                     

D. 2050

Question 29: According to the passage, by the end of the twentieth century, many …………… will have thoroughly investigated the surface of the planet.

A. manned spaceships        

B. astronauts                        

C. robots                   

D.  unmanned spaceships
Question 30: According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. A clever robot and a human being can provide the same information from Mars.

B. The first geologist on the moon was Harrison Schmitt.

C. We will not be able to determine the history of Mars in any detail until humans walk on it.

New Year’s Eve, 31st December, is a time for the British to eat, drink and party when they celebrate the beginning of a
New Year. Many people go to Trafalgar Square in London or a street party in their city. Others visit friends or go to
pubs and restaurants, which are very crowded on that night.
There is a great atmosphere when everyone waits for Big Ben to strike midnight. Then people kiss and hold hands to
sing the traditional Scottish song Auld Lang Syne. Many people also light fireworks at midnight.
The main tradition is ‘First Footing’. This means the first person to come to into your house after midnight should be a
tall dark-haired man. He should bring a piece of coal, some bread, salt or bottle of whisky to bring good luck to the
family.
A lot of people also make New Year’s Resolution; they promise to do things like stop smoking or ‘do more exercise’ in
the New Year, January 1st (and 2nd in Scotland) is a public holiday so their people can recover from their celebrations.
