II.Read the passage and answer the following questions: (2.5 marks)

When the Americans were getting ready to send their first men to the moon, an old Irish

man was watching them on television in the bar of a hotel.

There was an Englishman in the bar too, he said to the Irishman, “ The Americans are

very clever, aren’t they ? They are going to send some men to the moon. It’s a very long

way from our world.”

“ Oh, that’s nothing,” the Irishman answered quickly. “ The Irish are going to send some

men to the sun in a few month’s time. That’s much farther away than the moon, you

know.”

The English was very surprised when he heard this. “ Oh, yes, it is,” he said, “ but the

sun’s too hot for people to go to.”

The Irishman laughed and answered, “ Well, the Irish aren’t stupid, you know. We won’t

go to the sun during the dady, of course. We’ll go there during the night.”
