III. Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions below it:
The word “telephone” means hearing the sounds produced at a distance, just as
we see distant objects through a “telescope” or we see things happening miles away
through “television”. The telephone was invented more than one hundred years ago by
Alexander Graham Bell, an American. It is now very extensively used everywhere. In
Vietnam, most of the people have their own telephone in their homes. It makes us
possible to talk to our friends far away without all the way to their homes.
In actually working it appears to be simple. It has a transmitter into which you
speak and a receiver at which you hear; and these two are now combined in the same
small instrument, one at each end. The two persons who want to speak have each an
instrument. There is a connecting wire and electric battery by the side of each, or there is
a common connecting station. It is the electric current that enables the sound vibrations to
be reproduced at the other end, and the person at the end hears the talk of his friend.
Its working is marvelous, though simple. Two persons can now carry on a
conversation with each other while both are lounging on their easy chairs. There is thus
no need now to leave your house to talk to a friend on any business. It saves time, trouble
and expense.

 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 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 come true. Two America men landed on the moon.
Their name 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 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 the earth for study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They st 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 the moon. They joined
Michael Collins in the spaceship that wait for them above the moon. Then they were off
on their long 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.

D. makes faraway things seem closer.
3. The men brought rocks and dirt from the moon because _________________________
A. they wanted something to show they were there.
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.

II. Read the passage and answer the following questions:
After inventing dynamite, Swedish born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man.
However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to
be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death,
he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile
contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics,
chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1969, just sixty seven years
after the first awards ceremony.
Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invented, and the interest on
this sum is used for the awards, which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards ( gold
medal, illuminated diploma and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics
plays an important role in the judges’ decision. Americans have won numerous awards,
but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II.
Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; other have shared their prizes.
