REPORT TEXT
The following text is for question 1 to 4.

A tsunami is a series of ocean waves that sends surges of water, sometimes reaching
heights of over 100 feet (30.5 meters), onto land. These walls of water can cause
widespread destruction when they crash ashore.

These awe-inspiring waves are typically caused by large, undersea earthquakes at

tectonic plate boundaries. When the ocean floor at a plate boundary rises or falls
suddenly, it displaces the water above it and launches the rolling waves that will become
a tsunami.

Most tsunami, about 80 percent, happen within the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire," a
geologically active area where tectonic shifts make volcanoes and earthquakes common.

Tsunamis may also be caused by underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions. They may
even be launched, as they frequently were in Earth's ancient past, by the impact of a
large meteorite plunging into an ocean.

Tsunamis race across the sea at up to 500 miles (805 kilometers) an hour — about as fast
as a jet airplane. At that pace they can cross the entire expanse of the Pacific Ocean in
less than a day. And their long wavelengths mean they lose very little energy along the
way.

A tsunami's trough, the low point beneath the wave's crest, often reaches shore first.
When it does, it produces a vacuum effect that sucks coastal water seaward and exposes
harbor and sea floors. This retreating of sea water is an important warning sign of a
tsunami, because the wave's crest and its enormous volume of water typically hit shore
five minutes or so later. Recognizing this phenomenon can save lives.

A tsunami is usually composed of a series waves, called a wave train, so its destructive
force may be compounded as successive waves reach shore. People experiencing a
tsunami should remember that the danger may not have passed with the first wave and
should await official word that it is safe to return to vulnerable locations.

Some tsunamis do not appear on shore as massive breaking waves but instead resemble
a quickly surging tide that inundates coastal areas.

1. Why did the author write the report?

A. To raise people' awareness about tsunami.
B. To warn people about an upcoming tsunami.
C. To inform people about past tsunamis.
D. To warn people about the dangers of tsunami.

2. Tsunamis are usually the result of ...

A. The sudden rise or fall of ocean floors
B. Pacific Oceans "Ring of Fire"
C. The awe-inspiring waves
D. Volcanoes

3. From the text, we know that Tsunami can be very destructive because ...
A. They come after earthquakes
B. They are caused by volcanic eruptions
C. They are tall, fast, forceful and repetitive
D. They have a vacuum effect

4. "Some tsunami do not appear on shore as massive breaking waves but instead
resemble a quickly surging tide that inundates coastal areas." (Paragraph 8)
The underlined word is closest in meaning to ...
A. Floods
B. Covers
C. Fills
D. Attacks

Coconuts

Coconut is a common name for the fruit of a tree in palm family. It is classified as
Cocos Nucifera. People usually call the tree as coconut palm. Coconut palm trees
grow well in tropical countries. They grow especially on san soil.

The trees can grow up to 30 m high. They have a cylindrical trunk. At the top of the
trunk there is a crown of leaves. The leaves are long, about 3 to 4,5 m long.

The fruit grows in clusters. In one cluster, there about 5 to 20 coconuts. The fruit is
oval and about 30 cm long. It has a thick husk and hard shell. Inside the shell there
white oily fresh. Inside the shell there is also sweet fluid.

Coconut is high in sugar. It also contains a lot of fat, protein and vitamin. The young
coconut water can be very refreshing drink which contains a lot of minerals.

Coconut palm are very useful plants. People can use every single inch of the tree.
They dry the coconut meat into copra. After that, they can get oil from it and use it for
daily cooking or make it into soaps or candles. People also use the trunks to build
houses. For the roof, they dry the leaves. People can also make rope and doormats
from the coconut’s husk.

Coconuts are usually propagated by seeds. But experts have been trying to clone
coconuts or propagate them by tissue culture.
