FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON
Long ago a lot of people thought the moon was 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 20th, 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 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.

questions from 39 to 43.
Intelligence pills
Some scientists have predicted that healthy adults and children may one day take drugs to improve their
intelligence and intellectual performance. A research group has suggested that such drugs might become as
common as coffee or tea within the next couple of decades.
To counter this, students taking exams might have to take drug tests like athletes. There are already drugs that
are known to improve mental performance, like Ritalin, which is given to children with problems
concentrating. A drug given to people with trouble sleeping also helps people remember numbers.
These drugs raise serious legal and moral questions, but people already take vitamins to help them remember
things better, so it will not be a simple problem to solve. It will probably be very difficult to decide at what
point a food supplement becomes an unfair drug in an examination.
