X. Read the passage and
answer the questions that follow.
Some day
people will certainly try to build settlements on the moon. The best places for
houses in a moon town will be a cave or a tunnel. Underground houses will not
be squashed by meteorites that constantly fall on the moon from outer space.
This will be important on the moon, since daytime is so hot that food could be
cooked in the rocks, and the nights get bitterly cold.
Pioneer moon
homes may be made of airtight plastic that can be blown up like a balloon
inside the cave. The reason for this is that the moon has no air around it. The
pioneers will have to take along from the earth the oxygen masks when they are
away from home. But the balloon house itself will be filled with air. Perhaps
the house will have beds, tables, and chairs, built into it. These can be
inflated, too. So people will sleep, eat and work on air ! Moon-house building
will be easy. The moon’s gravity is less than the earth’s. Everything weighs
only one-sixth as much as it does on the earth.
(Squash: đè bẹp; airtight: kín hơi; inflated: phồng lên.)
