B. Read the passage carefully, decide whether the statements are True (T) or False 
(F), and then answer the questions. 
 Some day people will certainly try to build settlements on the moon. The best place for 
houses in a moon town will be a cave or a tunnel. Underground houses will not be 
squashed by meteorites that constantly foil 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 tins 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-home 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. 
True or false? 
44. ........The temperature on the moon is stable during the day and night. 
45. ........The people on the moon will have to wear oxygen masks when they leave their 
 home. 
46. ........There is no air on the moon.
