ONLINE SHOPPING: The Crazy Things People Buy

In this week's blog, we look at some extraordinary things people can buy online.

'1) A PIECE OF THE MOON: $27.50

It's true. You can own a.piece of land on the moon. An acre, or about
4,000 square meters, of moon costs $27 .50. That's a lot of space for your
stuff. In fact, the price of each acre goes down when you buy more land.
Imagine what you could do with all that space ... if you could travel
there! But don't worry, you get a certificate that says the land is yours.

@ SOMEONE TO STAND IN LINE FOR YOU: S25 AN HOUR

No one likes to stand in line, right? Now you don't have to! For
$25 an hour, someone waits patiently in line to get the stuff you
need. Imagine that! Some people pay for someone to stand in
line for movie tickets or for a new video game that's on sale.
Make a reservation online in just a few dicks.

D Yes, most families do. D No, most families don't. D Some families do, some families don't.

We spend a lot of time together on the weekends. My husband and

I always take our son, Oliver, and daughter, Samantha, out to do
something fun. Some weeks we go for a long bike ride and get a
lot of fresh air! We go to the beach in the summer, of course. In the
evenings, we have a barbecue together. During the week, it's more
difficult to spend time together because of work and school.
- Jane Chambers

It's a little sad, but most of the time we spend as a family is

watching TV. We don't talk much. My mom and dad both work,
and they're often tired when they get home. My sister just plays
games on her tablet all evening. It's kind of boring. Maybe we
spend about an hour a day together. It's never more than that.
- Billy Foster

We're always really busy, but we make an effort to spend

time together. My grandparents come over to our house
twice a week for dinner. I think family is very important.
I often help my mom or dad cook the meals. Sometimes
we all go to the movies. I like that a lot.

THE AGE OF L01 SELFIES

Most of us take selfies now and then. Presidents, rock

stars, actors, and sports stars all take them. It's very easy
to take selfies on a srnartphone. But the selfie isn't really
a new idea. Back in 1839, a man named Robert Cornelius
took the very first selfie. Cornelius was a photographer
from Philadelphia, in the U.S. He took the picture of
himself by setting up his camera and then running to
stand in front of it. On the back of the picture, Cornelius
wrote: ''The first light picture ever taken. 1839."

Why do people want to 1alce pictures of themselves?

� say that it's a-, of understanding who we
are. It's also a wry of controlling how other people see us.

Earth's Cleanest Places

L.'"'fk,

L ..__ _\..../ , -

About four kilometers (2.5 miles) under a large area of ice in

Antarctica, there's a lake named Lake Vostok. It covers 15,690
square kilometers (6,058 square miles) and is 800 meters (2,625
feet) deep in some places. Lake Vostok is prehistoric - millions of
years old - but until 1956, no one even knew it existed. It's a fresh
water lake, and it has been hidden from sunlight for 15 million
years. What this means is that the water is some of the cleanest,
purest water on Earth.

Ce1pe Grim, Australia

We all know that air pollution is a problem all around the world,
so where do you go if you want really clean air? Well, Cape
Grim in Tasmania, Australia is probably the best idea. Cape
Grim has some of the cleanest air on Earth. Cape Grim also has
beautiful, clean water. Why is this? Wind! Special winds called
"The Roaring Forties" cross the Southern Ocean, bringing with
them wonderfully clean water and air. In fact, in Cape Grim,
people are allowed to put rain water into bottles and sell it.
That's how clean it is!

B Read the article. What is the main goal of the article? Check (✓) the correct answer.
D to entertain people D to inform people D to persuade people to do something
C Read the article and answer the questions.
1. When did people discover Lake Vostok? _____________________
2. How long has Lake Vostok been hidden? _____________________
3. What two things is Cape Grim famous for? _____________________
4. What's the main reason that Cape Grim is so clean? _________________
