VII.Read the passage and do the tasks that follow.

    Space Tourism means ordinary members of the public buying tickets to travel to space and back. Like any other business, once space tourism gets started it will develop progressively. It may go through several phases. Starting with a relatively small-scale and relatively high-priced "pioneering phase", the scale of activity will grow and prices will fall as it develops. Finally, it will become a mass-market business, like aviation today.

    During the pioneering phase, customers will be relatively few, from hundreds per year to thousands per year; prices will be high, $50,000 and up; and the service will be nearer to "adventure travel" than to luxury hotel-style.

    The mature phase will see demand growing from thousands of passengers per year to hundreds of thousands per year. Tickets to orbit will cost less and flights will depart from many different airports. Orbital facilities will grow from being just clusters of modules to large structures constructed in orbit for hundreds of guests, permitting a wide range of orbital entertainments.

    During the mass phase, ticket prices will fall to the equivalent of a few thousand US dollars, and the number of customers will be from hundreds of thousands to millions of passengers per year. And aviation is still growing fast at today's level of 1 billion passengers per year. So there is no reason to suppose that space travel will ever stop growing. There is certainly no limit to the possible destinations.

Task 1. Read the passage again, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

	T	F
1.When space tourism develops, the ticket prices will drop.
2.During the pioneering phase, customers have to pay high costs in order tostay in luxury hotel-style spaceships.
3.During the mature phase, orbital structures made on the Earth will provide a wide range of entertainments.
4.The more space tourism develops, the less aviation grows.
5.Maybe some day in the future, space tourism is as popular as aviation.
6.Space travel will send passengers to destinations that know no limit.

Task 2. Finds words in the passage to match these definitions.

1.gradually (paragraph 1):                                                                              .........................

2.the flying of aircraft (paragraph 1):                                                           .........................

3.a unit that forms part of something bigger (paragraph 3):                   .........................

4.the path taken by a spacecraft going round a planet (paragraph 3):  ..........................

VIII.Read the text, and answer the questions.

First Vietnamese-American Astronaut

    Born in Saigon and raised in Paris, Trinh Huu Chau (later Eugene H. Trinh) moved to France with his family in 1952 when he was only two.

    In his teenager years,Dr. Trinh attended Lycee Michelet in Paris. There, he focused on maths and science, because like many teens at that time, he wanted to become a pilot. Dr. Trinh left Paris for New York to attend Columbia University in 1968. Upon finishing his Bachelor of Science degree in 1972, he pursued his Master degree in 1974, and Doctorate in 1977 from Yale University.

    He spent 20 years at California Institute of Technology as a physicist carrying out research primarily in the fields of Fluid Physics and Applied Acoustics. By 1999, he worked as a Senior Executive, and focused on various science projects for NASA. Over the years, he has worked on a dozen of space-based flight investigations and the Space Shuttle, and ultimately flew aboard the Shuttle Columbia in 1992. Dr. Eugene H. Trinh never expected that he would make history as the first Vietnamese-American physicist to fly aboard NASA Space Shuttle Columbia mission STS-50 in 1992.

    “The sight and sounds of the space shuttle always brings back a rush of great memories of good friends, and the excitement of the past youth,” said Dr. Trinh.

A Mission to MarsXI.Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.

     Have you ever had a dream about traveling to another planet in our solar system? If you have, there is an actual programme that is happening right now, and it hopes to send people to Mars in 2023. Known as the Mars One Mission, it will send a crew of four people on a one-way mission to colonize Mars. Those chosen people will have to be ready to say good-bye to the earth forever, as there will not be a return trip.

     For the people chosen, they will have to learn to do many different things. First of all, they will be living the rest of their lives with just a handful of other people, so they all must have personalities that allow them to get along. Second, the living quarters that they will have won’t be very spacious, so they will have to deal with that condition as well. If they feel homesick, they will only be able to communicate with people back on the earth via e-mail and videos and audio sent back and forth. However, there won’t be any real-time communication. Even at the speed of light, communication between the earth and Mars takes about 20 minutes.

     Whether the Mars One Mission will actually happen is the big question that a lot of people are asking. There is an enormous skepticism in the science community, and Wired magazine gave the mission a miserable score of two out of ten on its probability scale. However, for those who dream to go to Mars, at least they can say there is a possibility that it could happen.

1.What will NOT happen to the people who go on the Mars One Mission?

A.They will live in quarters that don’t have a lot of space inside.

B. They will return to the earth

C.They will communicate with people on the earth.

D.They will have to live with other people.

2.Which of the following is considered miserable?

A.A personality of people taking part in the programme

B.A mission of astronauts to the ISS

C.A crew on board of the Mars One Mission

D.A score of the programme on the probability scale

3.How long will it take for a message to come back from Mars?

A.Almost immediately

B. About an hour

C.Around 20 minutes

D. Only a few seconds

4.What will NOT be spacious?

A.The mission

B. The living quarters

C.The spaceship

D. The magazines

5.Who might like to go on this mission? 

A. People with angry personalities

B. People who don’t like to communicate 

C.People who get along with others

D. People who get homesick easily
