READING EXERCISES
Read the passage and answer the following questions.
(Đọc đoạn văn và trả lời các câu hỏi bên dưới.)
The World Tourism Organisation says that space will soon be a popular place to go on holiday - possibly by 2020. One Japanese company is getting ready. They are planning a space holiday centre. It will look like a bicycle wheel and have a hotel for 100 people and a theme park. It will travel round the Earth at a height of 300 km. The company chairman says he thinks that flying to the centre will probably be quicker than flying from Hong Kong to Singapore. When they are on board the centre, tourists will take short trips to the Moon or go for walks in space. But what about the cost? Well, the company believes that people will be happy to pay about $100,000 for a trip but they think that as more people want to go, the trip will become much cheaper.
An American hotel group is also thinking of building a hotel, called the Lunar Hotel. This will be on the moon. Most of the hotel will be under the ground so it won't become too hot or too cold. The rooms will look just like they do on Earth with curtains, carpets, plants and they will have wall-to-wall television.
The guests will eat normal food for lunch. The cooks will just push a button to mix dried food with water to become an instant meal! There will be little or no dirt and there won't be much water, so the hotel won't wash the towels and sheets - it will throw them away!
(KET Objective) 1. What will the holiday centre look like?
2. How high will the holiday centre be above the Earth?
3. What will tourists be able to do at the centre?
4. How much will a trip cost?
5. Where will most of the hotel on the moon be?
