Every September, a
sci -fi competition takes place
in our town. This year, a group
of teenagers are taking part in it.
Today, Mike Marshall and Stacy Jameson,
two members of the group, are presenting
their project to us. Listen to what they have
to say:

Mike Marshall (group leader)
"This is our friend, Al273. lt's a robot but it looks
like a real person, doesn't it? Al273 is really smart
and it can do almost anything we ask. We even do
housework together and it's a lot of fun. 1 think
we'II get first prize in the competition next month
and l'm really excited about that."
Stacy Jameson
"I really like working with my classmates but I don't
know if l'm excited about the idea of creating a
machine like Al273. 1 mean, artificial intelligence
is really cool and it's everywhere, in books and
movies, but I think it causes more problems than
solutions. According to sorne research we did on
the Net, in about 20 years from now we'II be able
to buy computers that are smarter than a human

team of archaeologists and discover... the secrets of the mummies. Of course after that we'II be tired and
hungry, so we'II have lunch at the museum's restaurant. After lunch comes the best part! I know how much
you all love rock music. We're going to one of the museum's laser shows: "Laser Rock." It has rock music

nce in a blue m n
When people say "Once in a blue moon" they mean "rarely."

But what's a blue moon?

When there·s a full moon . it seems like a perfect circle. We usually see a full moon every 29.5 days.
Most months are 30 or 31 days long, so there can be two full moons in one month. When this happens. we call
the second full moon a blue moon. This happens once every two and a half years.

Can we have more than one blue moon in the same year?
Yes. but it's very rare. lt happens every 19 years. and the months with the blue moon are almost always
January and March.

Is a blue moon actually blue? ~ .

No. it isn't. But if there·s a big forest tire W, or if a volcano erupts. the moon may look blue.

An extreme sport? Well, one thing is for sure.
There are about thirteen million skateboarders in

skateboard in 1958 and skateboarding became very
popular with young people. They thought it was a
cool extreme sport. In the 1970s skateparks began to
appear ali over' the U.S.A. Skateboarders went there
to practice their skills and learn new tricks. Today,
people on rollerblades and BMX bikes use them, too.
Probably the best skateboarder of ali time is Tony
Hawk, also known as "the Birdman" because he can
jump very high and do amazing tricks. From 1995 to

T he Qrient Express was a passenger

train route that went all around
Europe. The original starting and ending
points of the line were París and Istanbul,
with many stops in between. The first
train left from París on October lOLh, 1882,
around 6:30 in the evening, and got to
Vienna the next day at 11:20 at night. Cars
in the train included luggage cars, sleeper
cars, and dining cars. The Orient Express
was a famous mode of transportation
because it was convenient, but it was also
very mysterious and• intriguing. In fact,
it was even the inspiration for countless
novels, movies, TV shows, and video games.
The most famous of all these is probably
the Agatha Christie mystery, Murder on the
Orient Express.
The train system used to operate for over
a hundred years, but with the rise of cars
and other high speed railways, the Orient
Express became less popular. In December,
2009, the Orient Express stopped running
entirely.

Hey Derrick!

Guess what? I have sorne great stories to tell you about my visit to Cairo. I'm writing to tell you
one right now. It happened when we went to see the Pyramids.

Our tour guide took us to the Valley of the Queens. First, we went in the Queen's Chamber. There,
she showed us a dark passage. It led to a small room, but we couldn't visit it. It was closed to
the public. Then, when the guide wasn't looking, I went up the passage and into the small room.
Suddenly, the door closed behind me and the room was completely dark! Anyway, I was lucky
because I had a flashlight with me. When I turned on my flashlight, I saw two white faces right in
front of me! They looked just like mummies! I couldn't believe my eyes! I screamed and ran out
the door. I was absolutely terrified!

While I was trying to calm down outside, my friends, Jasen and Peter, carne out of the passage.
They were laughing so hard, they couldn't walk. Immediately I realized that I didn't see mummies
in the room. It was Jasen and Peter playing a joke on me! Now that I think about it, it's pretty
funny, but at the time it sure wasn't!

Well, that's all for now. Let's get together for coffee when I get back!

See you soon,

Tommy

These exhibits include shadow plays, demonstrations with weather or
animals. and many other things. lt doesn't matter which time of the
year you decide to go, because you are going to have fun!

 One of the first things the astronaut
John Glenn had to do in space when he
orbited the Earth for the first time was
to try to eat something. NASA scientists
wanted to know if it was possible for a
human to eat in space. Sorne people
thought it might be too hard to swallow, since there is a feeling of weightlessness
in space anda lack of gravity. Glenn was able to eat just fine, though.

The most important thing about space food

is the packaging. lf a small crumb gets
loase in the low-gravity space shuttle, it
causes majar problems for the astronauts
and the equipment. Early versions of
space food were soft and carne in a
tube that was very similar to a tube of
toothpaste and astronauts squeezed it into
their mouths. There were also small cubes
of dry food, but it didn't look like real food.
So, scientists tried to find a way to make more realistic food, and package it in a
way that was suitable for space travel.
Nowadays, the food is much better, a
lot like the food we eat at home. Liquids
like coffee and orange juice still come
in a packet full of powder, though. When
the astronauts drink it, they use special
plastic bags and mix the powder with
water. Astronauts can cook their food
in a small kitchen and even sit down to
eat it. One interesting difference is that
space shuttles d~n't have a refrigerator!

B. Read the text again and write T for True or F for False.

1. John Glenn couldn't eat in space.

2. The first kind of space food was like the food we eat at home.
3. The liquids still come in a packet.

 Jeans are very popular today. They weren't always so popular,
though. lt took many years for the general public to embrace
blue jeans. In the 1850s, a German merchant named Levi
Strauss started selling jeans to mine workers in California.
They became popular because denim, the cloth used for
jeans, is a very strong material. However, sorne parts of the
jeans, like the pockets, used to rip a lot. So, Levi Strauss and his
business partner, Jacob Davis, added copper rivets to make them
stronger.

In the early 20 th century, jeans were popular

only with factory workers. In 1955, when
. James Dean starred in the movie Rebel
Without a Cause, wearing blue jeans, jeans
really took the fashion world by storm.
Teenagers wanted to copy his style and
jeans became a symbol of youth in the 50s
and 60s. After that, many more and different
styles and designs carne out.

 F rom 1840 to 1869, more than 52,000
people in the U.S. decided to move
to the northwest of the country, and
they used the "Oregon Trail," a path
used for traveling there. Most of those
people ended up in Oregon, but others
went to California or Utah. So, what was
everyday life on the trail like?

T he "Oregon Trail" started in Missouri and went all the way to Oregon. For long trips
like this, people used to ride in a covered wagon. A cloth cover protected them and their
things from the weather when it was snowy or windy.

ll of a family's furniture, clothing, food , small animals and everything else were in the
A wagons, so they were really heavy. Animals like oxen, cow , or horses pulled the wagons.

T he Oregon trail was very dangerous. Many times people had to cross fast rivers in their
wagons, or they ran into bandits. It was hard to take care of sick people on the road.
Cooking was difficult, too. Most people used to cook over an open fire - even in the rain and
snow! Life on the trail definitely wasn't eas) , and even doing simple things was a challenge.

The Blue Lagoon is one of the most popular places to visit in lceland. lt's a geothermal spa with
very hot water. The average temperature of the water is actually over 100ºF! One of the reasons
the spa is so popular is because people believe the water has healing powers. Many people with
aches. pains, or illnesses have started feeling better after taking a soak in the hot lagoon water.
Just imagine a nice relaxing soak in the crystal clear blue water. surrounded by the beauty of the
mountains and icebergs.

The Great Wall of China is a well-known historical

monument in northern China. The wall is well over 5.000
miles long and has an extremely rich history. People
- built. rebuilt. and made repairs on it starting from the 5th
century BC to the 16th century. lt's pretty hard to imagine
, that the wall people were walking on thousands of years
ago is the same one as the one people walk on today. The Chinese used both
man-made materials like bricks and natural materials like stones. dirt. and wood
to create the wall. Over the years. when the Chinese made repairs. they used
other man-made materials like tiles and cement to make the wall even stronger.
Today the wall is a popular tourist attraction andan important landmark for Asia.
In fact. on a ciear day, you can see the wall from space!

The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a new tourist attraction in the Grand Canyon. Arizona. lt's a large
observation deck located near the Colorado River in the western part of the Canyon. lt's a unique

of a horseshoe and it stands almost 4,000 feet above the bottom of the Canyon. lt goes 70 feet out
into the air from the Canyon wall that supports it. Don't worry, it's very safe.
and it will give you the experience of a lifetime!
