First Vietnamese – American Astronaut
19.........in Saigon and raised in Paris, Trinh Huu Chau ( later Eugene H. Trinh ) moved to
France with his family on 1952 when he was only two.
    In his teenage years, Dr Trinh attended Lycee Mechelet 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 20.………….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 21.…….NASA. Over the years, he
has worked on a dozen of space – based flight einvestigations 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 22.……….aboard NASA
shuttle Columbia mission STS – 50 in 1992.
    “ The sight and sounds of the space shuttle always brings back a 23……….of great
memories of good friends, and the excitement of the pass youth.” Said Dr. Trinh.

IX. Read the passage and answer the questions:
Earth orbits the sun while the moon orbits the Earth. Occasionally, all three of them
become aligned with one another. When this happens, an eclipse occurs. There are two types
of eclipses: solar and lunar. Both are rare events simply because, due to the movement of all
three celestial bodies, the times when they line up with one another are infrequent.
Solar eclipses are easily the more spectacular of the two. For a solar eclipse to occur, the
moon’s orbit must take it between Earth and the sun. While the sun is much larger than the
moon, the relative nearness off the moon to Earth makes it appear to the same size as the sun
when viewed from the ground. Thus, when the sun, Earth, and the moon are perfectly aligned,
the moon appear to cover the entire sun. This is a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse may be either
total or partial.
When a total eclipse happens, the sun is completely obscured by the moon. The sky
darkens, and it appears to be night time. However, most solar eclipses are partial ones. When
they take place, the sun is only partly covered by the moon.
 When a solar eclipse happens, it is observable from a fairly small area on the planet.
Thus, when there is a solar eclipse in North America, it is highly unlikely that it will be visible in
Africa or Australia. A solar eclipse only lasts for a few minutes since all three heavenly bodies
are in continual motion.
People must also take care when viewing a solar eclipse since looking directly at it can
cause damage– including blindness- to their eyes.
Lunar eclipses happen when Earth moves directly between the sun and the moon. When
this occurs, the planet blocks sunlight from reflecting off the moon. Lunar eclipse takes place at
night. During one, the moon appears very orange and is practically red in color. There are two
different types off lunar eclipses. Taken together, the result is that lunar eclipses happen more
frequently than solar eclipse. In addition, lunar eclipses may last for hours and can be seen
from a wider area on the planet. There is no ham in directly observing a lunar eclipse either, so
looking at one will not damage a person’s eyes.

28. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How eclipses have affected the history B. Two types of eclipses
C. The problems eclipses cause D. Solar eclipses
29. What is the word ‘spectacular’ in line 5 closest in meaning to?

30. Why is the moon able to cover the sun during a solar eclipse?
A. Because of its large size B. Because of its brightness
C. Because of its closeness to Earth D. Because of its rotation
31. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about solar eclipses?
A. How they can harm people
B. How long they may last
C. How much of the sun cannot be seen during them
D. How often they happen
32. What can be inferred from the passage about lunar eclipses?
A. It is possible to see them from every-where in the world.
B. They are less dangerous to people than solar eclipses.
C. Superstitious people believe they bring bad luck.
D. During a full moon, they can be extremely bright.
