Read the passage and answer the questions completely.
Neil Armstrong was an American astronaut who was famous for being the
first person to walk on the Moon. He was born on 5th August 1930, in the USA.
His passion for flying began at a young age. When he was two years old, his
parents took him to Cleveland Air Race which was where he saw his first ever
aircraft. At the age of six, Neil was taken by his dad for a ride in an aeroplane. He
worked hard to achieve his dream of being a pilot: Armstrong was only 16 years
old when he received his first pilot’s licence, before he could even drive a car! In
September 1962, Neil Armstrong was accepted to the NASA astronaut corps,
where he knew he might one day go in to space. Amazingly, during his career he
flew over two hundred different aircraft!
Finally, everything was ready! On 16th July 1969, at 13:32, Neil Armstrong
and his crew mates Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin and Michael Collins blasted off into
space. Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon on 20th July
1969. It was shown all across the world on television. It is estimated that 600
million people watched the astronauts make history. During their moonwalk,
Armstrong and Aldrin planted the flag of the United States of America. They also
spent time collecting moon rocks from the surface. The astronauts returned
home to Earth on 24th July 1969.
After he had returned home, Armstrong retired from being an astronaut.
However, his enthusiasm for space and aircraft continued and he became a
professor in order to share his passion.
Neil Armstrong died on 25th August 2012 at the age of 82. He will always
be remembered for his famous words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant
leap for mankind.”
