Tsunamis, whose name derives from the Japanese expression for ʻhigh wave in a harbourʼ, are giant sea waves. These waves are quite different from storm surges. They are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves although they have nothing to do with tides. Scientists often refer to them as seismic sea waves, which is far more appropriate because they are often the result of undersea seismic activity. Tsunamis can be caused when the sea floor suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or volcano, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced. This sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves. These waves can travel great distances, at speeds close to 700 kilometres per hour. In the open ocean, tsunami waves are not very high, often no more than one or two metres. It is when they hit the shallow waters near the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 metres.

A. tornado B. tides C. tsunamis D. storm surges

4. In the United States today there are more than half a million criminals serving time in prison. Most prisoners are male high-school dropouts between the ages of 18 and 19. Even more shocking in the fact that the number and rate of imprisonment has more than doubled over the past twenty years, and the recidivism - that is, the rate for rearrest - is more than 60 percent.
Although the stated goal of most prison systems, on both federal and state levels, is to rehabiliatate the inmates and reintagrate them into society, the systems themselves do not support such a result. Prisons are usually geographically or psychologically isolated and terribly overcrowded. Even in the more enlightened prisons, only one-third of the inmates have vocational training opportunities or work release options.
If prisons are indeed to achieve the goal of rehabilitating offenders, then the prisons themselves will have to change. First, they will have to be smaller, housing no more than five hundred prisoners. Second, they will have to be built in or near population centers with community resources available for gradual reintegration into society. Finally, prison programs must be restructured to include work release and vocational and academic training that promises carry over into the inmate’s life after release. Models for such collaborative efforts between the criminal justice system and the community already exist in several hundred half-way houses throughout the country.

A. Prisons must be restructured if they are to accomplish the goal of rehabilitation.
B. Models for community collaboration have been successful.
C. Most of the criminals serving time in prison are high-school dropouts.

3. The author mentions all the following as necessary to prison reform EXCEPT
A. newer buildings C. vocational training
B. smaller institutions D.collaboration with the community
4. The word “recidicism” in line 4 refers to
A. all people who are imprisoned C. people who drop out of high school
B. people who return to prison after release D. people who have been in prison for a long time

Alaska is perhaps the most amazing state in the USA. It has coaslines facing both the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. This state has an incredible three million lakes. That’s four lakes per person living there.
Many cities in Alaska cannot be reached by road, sea, or river. The only way to get it and out is by air, on foot, or by dogsled. That’s why Alaska has the busiest sea airport in the world, Lake Hood Seaplane Base. Nearly two hundred float planes take off and land on the water of this airport every day. It’s really a fun scene to watch.
Alaska is called the Land of Midnight Sun because in summer, the sun does not set for nearly three months. But in winter the sun stays almost unseen.
All Alaskans take place special pride in their beautiful and unique state.
