Good evening. Welcome to our Science for Fun Program. This week we've received a lot of questions asking about life on the moon. We've talked to some experts and this is what we've found out. There is no water or air on the moon. It is all (51)  because there is no air. Of course, there will be no music, no sounds. There are no rivers and no lakes. At night it is very cold. The temperature goes down to 151°C below zero. But during the day the temperature rises to 100°C above zero.
There are great round (52) on the moon. They look like big lakes. They are called craters. There are more than 30,000 craters on the moon. There are also high mountains. The highest mountains on the moon are about 26,000 feet or 8,000 meters high.
And here is something very interesting to know: on the moon you weigh one sixth (53) what you weigh on earth. If you weigh 50 kilos, on the moon you (54) weigh only a little more than 8 kilos. You will be able to jump very high, even higher than an Olympic Champion. You can (55)very long steps as well. And... Maybe you won’t sleep very well because one day on the moon lasts for two weeks.
So, is there life on the moon? I’ll leave the question for you to answer yourself.

	Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
	Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either internationally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
	Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people.
	While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
