IX. Read the paragraph and choose the right answer. (5 points)
Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”? People use this expression to describe
something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets
because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who doesn’t usually like to go
to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.” While many people use this phrase, not everyone
knows the meaning behind it. The first thing to know that the moon itself is never actually blue. This is just an
expression. The phrase “blue moon” actually has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color. As the moon travels
around the Earth, it appears to change shape. We associate certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For
example, when we can see a small part of the moon, it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks
like a tip of a fingernail. When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the entire
moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however, there will be
two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a “blue moon”. Over the next 20
years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to
use the expression “once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.
