Minh thân mến,

Mình viết thư để thông tin cho bạn đây. Học kỳ một sắp kết thúc và trường mình sẽ nghỉ vài ngày. Nhân dịp này lớp mình sẽ đi tham quan vài hang động gần Hà Nội vì mới đây chúng mình học về sự hình thành của đá. Hơn nữa nhiều bạn chưa bao giờ tham quan hang động nên mình nghĩ chuyến đi này ắt hẳn sẽ rất thú vị.

Ban đầu bọn mình muốn đi Chùa Thầy vì nó chỉ cách Hà Nội có 20 cây số và có thể đi du khảo trong ngày.

Tuy nhiên cho đến hôm nay bọn mình mới biết là các hang động gần Chùa Thầy mãi ra Tết mới mở cửa trở lại. Vì thế thay vào đó chúng mình sẽ tham quan các hang gần chùa Hương. Một đêm lửa trại trong chuyến du khảo hai ngày sẽ là một sự kiện tuyệt vời trong đời học sinh! Để đỡ tốn kém, chúng mình đem theo thức ăn và đi cùng xe với các lớp khác.

Bây giờ thời tiết ấm hơn nhiều. Mình tin là bọn mình sẽ được hưởng khí trời đầy ánh nắng.

Vấn đề duy nhất là phải xin phép bố mẹ. Bố mẹ mình có thể không muốn cho mình ở lại đêm. Mình sẽ cố gắng thuyết phục bố mẹ vậy.

Thôi nhé, cho mình gửi lời thăm bố mẹ và em gái bạn.

Thân,

Lan

MOON ROCKS HOLD HIGH PRIORITY

1/ Shortly after stepping onto the surface, Armstrong took a “grab sample,” or contingency sample, scooping it up into a Teflon bag on the end of a light collapsible rod. The pole he discarded, but the bag of soil he rolled up and—with some difficulty—tucked into a pocket above his left knee.

2/ With a specially made aluminum scoop on an extension handle, and with a pair of long aluminum tongs, Armstrong later gathered a larger quantity of the dark lunar soil and representative samples of the lunar rocks. These he put into two boxes, each formed from a single piece of aluminum. A ring of soft metal, indium, lined the lip of each box; when the box was closed and the straps drawn tight around it, a knifelike strip around the edge of the lid bit deeply into the indium, thus helping to seal the samples in a vacuum and to protect them against contamination.

3/ It had been decided in advance that the most important single thing the astronauts could do—scientifically speaking—would be to bring back samples of the moon.

4/ All told, the astronauts brought back about 48 pounds of lunar material. In addition, they undertook to gather a bit of the sun. To be sure, it was a very small sample, less than a billionth of an ounce at best, but presumably it was enough to tell a great deal about the solar furnace. The sample was gathered by trapping particles of the solar wind.

5/ In every direction, the lunar surface was pocked with thousands of little craters and many larger ones, five to fifty feet across and littered with angular blocks.

6/ As Astronaut-scientist Don Lind commented in Houston during the flight, “He is certainly going to get back in the spacecraft with his pants on, so we will have this sample for sure.”

• Câu 1: Read the passage carefully, then choose the one best answer, a, b, cor d. For the last few months I have spent every Saturday in my flat and have done nothing more exciting than work at home, read the newspapers and watch television. I had begun feeling, bored with this and so, last weekend I though I would do something different. I rang up several of my friends and we decided to go to London for the day. I was really excited as I hadn't been to London since I was ten. We decided to go by coach as this was by far the cheapest means of transport that was available even though it meant that we needed to get up very early. Once in London we decided to take a sightseeing tour as we wanted to see some of the famous buildings. After the tour we bought some sandwiches and ate them in a small park. In the afternoon two of us went shopping and the others went to the theater. We met up again at 6:30 p.m. and went to a small restaurant in Soho. The meal was really good but, unfortunately, it took much longer than we had expected. We had to get a taxi back to the coach station. Luckily, we got there just two minutes before our coach left.
