II. Read the passage and answer the question below. (1m)
Natural disasters like earthquakes are forces of nature. Human beings cannot stop them.
Earthquakes are sometimes difficult to be predicted so it requires proper preparation to minimize the
disaster's impacts. While volcanic activities may cause earthquakes, many others happen without
warning. Fortunately, we know the places where earth quakes are most likely to happen.
The people living in these areas, such as California, Japan, or Italy, know what to do when an
earthquake begins. If they are inside the building, they will get away from windows and exterior walls
and take cover under a desk or table. It is necessary to take cover in a safe area that is away from
potential falling objects like wall décor or ceiling fan. In case there is no table around, people can stand
against the wall whose other side is not the outside of the building. If people are outside when an
earthquake occurs, it is important to get into an open spot far away from buildings, trees, or power lines.
Even though some earthquakes do not last very long, they can be incredibly destructive.
Understanding what to do when earthquakes occur usually saves lives.
1. What may cause earthquakes?
Volcanic activities
2. How can we minimize the earthquake's impacts?

A hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an earthquake
in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when the habitants of Tokyo were
cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the earth began to shake.
As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire engines were prevented from
going to help because many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible to use fire-fighting
equipment as most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of the damage was
caused by fire rather than by the collapse of buildings.

Scotland: The Land of Legends
If we travel all over Scotland, we can see that it consists of three main parts: Lowlands, Uplands and
Highlands with their Grampian Mountains, where the tallest mountain peak, Ben Nevis, is located.
You are sure to enjoy the beauty of the Scottish varied landscape: the hills covered with purple heather,
its beautiful lakes (here they are called lochs), its green and narrow valleys.
The biggest and the most beautiful lake in Scotland is Loch Lomond, but the most famous one is Loch
Ness with its mysterious monster Nessie. Nessie sometimes appears to scare the tourist but only in fine
weather!
But what can be more curious and attractive for tourist than a man in the kilt, playing the bagpipes? The
Celts of Scotland made the chequered pattern of tartan - the national dress of the country. The earliest
Scots formed themselves into clans (family groups) and the tartan became a symbol of the sense
of kinship. There are about 300 different clans in Scotland, and each has its own colour and pattern of
tartan together with the motto.
Scotland is a land of many famous people: writer and poets, scientist and philosophers, such as Robert
Burns, Arthur Conan Doyle, Alexander Graham Hell, or Alexander Fleming.

Saving the Environment: One Home at a Time
Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes. It comes from
household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the waste people produce and throw away.
What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person can help save the environment by doing
simple things.
First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again. Recycling can also
reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper products. It takes very little effort. It is not hard to
place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin. Anyone can do it.
Second, we need to watch the amount of water used in the home. It can be conserved by taking short
shower instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or washing machine only when
fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth.
