 I was reading an article last week in which the writer described 61 her children has 
 changed as they grow up. When they were small she had to 62 up with noisy games in 
 the house or join in interminable games of football in the garden which wore her out. If the 
 house went quiet, she wondered what the monsters were getting up to, or what crisis she would 
 have to 63 with next. She dreaded the fact that they might 64 after her 
 husband, who admitted having 65 an uncontrollable child who 66 most of 
 time showing off to his friends by breaking things or getting into fights. What was worse was 
 that everyone else thought he was 67 sweet child, and he got away with the most 
 terrible things. However, she had experienced an even greater shocked with her children. They 
 had 68 out as chess and playing the piano. They never did anything 69 
 talking it over first, and coming to a serious decision. She had to face up to the fact that they 
 made her feel rather childish as they got 70 , and that in some ways she preferred them

Question III: Read the passage and choose the best answers to questions below. (10 pts)
 There is a common expression in English language referring to a blue moon. When 
 people say that something happens “only once in a blue moon”, they mean that it 
 happens only very rarely, once in a great while. This expression has been around 
 for at least a century and a half. There are references to this expressions that date
 Line 5 from the second half of the nineteenth century.
 The expression “a blue moon” has come to refer to the second full moon occurring 
 in any given calendar month. A second full moon is not called a blue moon because 
 it is particularly blue or is any different in the hue from the first full moon of the 
 month. In stead, it is called a blue moon because it is so rare. The moon needs a 
 Line 10 little more than 29 days to complete the cycle from full moon to full moon. Because 
 every month except February has more than 29 days, every month will have at least 
 one full moon (except February, which will have a full moon unless there is a full 
 moon at the very end of January and another full moon at the very beginning of 
 March). It is on the occasion when a given calendar month has a second full moon 
 Line 15 that a blue moon occurs. This does not happen very often, only three or four times a 
 decade.
 The blue moons of today are called blue moons because of their rarity and not 
 because of their color; however, the expression “blue moon” may have come into 
 existence in reference to unusual circumstances in which the moon actually 
 Line 20 appeared blue. Certain natural phenomena of gigantic proportions can actually 
 change the appearance of the moon from the Earth. The eruption of the Krakatao 
 volcano in 1883 left dust particles in the atmosphere, which clouded the sun and 
 gave the moon a bluish tint. This particular occurrence of the blue moon may have 
 given rise to the expression that we use today. Another example occurred more than 
 Line 25 a century later. When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, the moon 
 again took on a blue tint.
