For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate” once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.”While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact, the phrase” blue moon” has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail when we cannot see the moon at all; it is called a new moon.When we can see the whole moon is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a blue moon”.Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression” once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.31 . Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase” once in a blue moon”.ASimon often tells jokes. Simon tells jokes once in a blue moon.BTom rarely remembers to do exercise. Tom does exercise once in a blue moon.CMary likes to go shopping every weekend. Mary goes shopping once in a blue moon.DCindy hates to stay up, but she stays up every day. Cindy stays up once in a blue moon.32 . When does a blue moon happen in natureAWhen the moon has a blue moon.BWhen we cannot see the moon at all.CWhen there are two full moons in one month.DWhen we can only see a small part of the color.33 . Which of the following is another example of something that has a crescent shapeAThe letter “O”BThe letter “M”CThe letter “H”DThe letter “C”Daniel sat in the back of the car and he was very happy.It was his first trip to Disney World，and he couldnt wait to get there.At first it wasnt too bad.He played some card games with his brother Emmit and his mother.They played number games.They also read interesting books.Then Daniel felt bored and slept.But he didnt sleep for a long time，and they were still far away from Disney World.“Are we”“No，Daniel，” said his father.“Please try to be patientYou chose the vacation place this year.We told you it would be a long trip.”“Yeah，but this is so boring！” said Daniel.“I think Daniel is right，” said Emmit.“Its a boring trip.”“You want to hear about a boring trip？” asked Dad.“When I was about your age，Daniel，Grandma and Grandpa took your aunt Jane and me to Disney World.On the way there，the car didnt work.Luckily your grandpa could repair the car，but it took a long time to repair it.So when we arrived at Disney World，it was already dark.”34 .
