being developed is a “flying wing”, which is short but very wide, in contrast to most planes, which are long and narrow.

The new aeroplane will be quieter and more comfortable than (40) planes. It will also cost less to (41) , and will therefore help to keep fares at affordable levels.

An additional (42) of this plane is that no new runways or terminal (43)

will have to be built for it, because it is being designed in such a way that it can use existing ones.

Read the passage carefully, decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F), and then answer the questions.

Some day people will certainly try to build settlements on the moon. The best place for houses in a moon town will be a cave or a tunnel. Underground houses will not be squashed by meteorites that constantly foil 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 tins 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.

True or false?

1. The temperature on the moon is stable during the day and night.
2. The people on the moon will have to wear oxygen masks when they leave their home.
3. There is no air on the moon.
4. If a stone weights 18 tons on the earth, it weighs only three tons on the moon.
5. Houses cannot be built on the moon because of the weak gravity.

Answer the questions.

1. What is the best place for -house in a moon town?
2. What may the moon homes be made of?
3. Why will the pioneers have to take along from the earth the oxygen they need for breathing?
4. Can people build cities on the moon?
