Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. 
Some day people will certainly try to build settlements on the moon. The best places for houses in a moon town will be a cave or a tunnel. Underground houses will not be squashed by meteorites that constantly fall 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 this 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.
(Squash: đè bẹp; airtight: not allowing air to enter or escape; inflated: filled with air, gas, etc.)

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. 
THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA
The Great Wall started as earth works thrown up for protection by different States. The individual sections weren’t connected until the Quin dynasty (221-206 B.C). Quin Shihuangdi, First Emperor of Quin began conscripting peasants, enemies, and anyone else who wasn’t tied to the land to go to work on the Wall. He garrisoned armies at the Wall to stand guard over the workers as well as to defend the northern boundaries. The tradition lasted for centuries, and each dynasty added up to the height, breath, length, and elaborated the design mostly through forced labor.
It was during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) that the Wall took on its present form. The brick and granite work was enlarged and sophisticated designs were added. The watch towers were redesigned and modern canon were mounted in strategic areas. The Portuguese had found a ready market for guns and canon in China, one of the few items of trade that China didn’t already have in abundance. The Ming Emperors, having overthrown the Hun dominance and expelled Mongol rulers of the North devoted large portions of available material and manpower to making sure that they didn’t return. 
The Wall served well. Only when a dynasty had weakened from within were invaders from the north able to advance and conquer. Both the Mongols (Yuan Dynasty, 1271-1368) and the Manchurians (Qing Danasty 1644-1911) were able to take power, not because of weakness in the Wall but because of weakness in the government and the poverty of the people. They took advantage of rebellion from within and stepped into the void of power without extended wars. 
(Conscript (v): bắt đi lính; garrison: đóng quân; elaborate: dựng lên; take on: begin to have; canon: hẻm núi; mount: lắp; strategic: chiến lược; overthrow: lật đổ; dominance: sự thống trị; expel: lưu đày; devote: dâng hiến; portion: phần phân chia; invader: kẻ xâm lược; conquer: chiếm đoạt; take advantage of: lợi dụng; void: sự mất hiệu lực)
