Silkworms live for only two or three days after laying eggs. About 36,000 to 50,000 eggs are laid, and
these are carefully stored at the silkworm farm until they are ready to hatch. The eggs hatch into
caterpillars, which feed on mulberry leaves. Soon, the caterpillars are ready to spin their cocoons. Not all
caterpillars can spin silk cocoons. Only the caterpillars of a silkworm moth known as ‘Bombyx mari’ can
do such spinning. This caterpillar has special glands which secrete liquid silk through its lower lip. The
liquid produced later hardens to form tine strands.
The caterpillar makes its cocoons using these strands. The threads on the outside of the cocoon are rough,
while those inside are soft and smooth.
Some fully-spun cocoons are heated. This kills the pupa inside. The cocoons are then put into hot water
to loosen the fine threads. Finally, these threads are reeled off the cocoons.
The length of unbroken thread produced by a single cocoon measures about one-and-a-half kilometers.
Being twisted together several of these threads make single woven materials.

Tsunami

Tsunami occurs when major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The displaced rock pushes water
above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water waves at the ocean surface. The ocean waves
spread out from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move across the ocean until they reach the
coastline, where their height increases as they reach the continental shelf, the part of the earth crust that
slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the land.

A tsunami washes ashore with oftendisastrous effects such as severe flooding, loss of lives due to
drowning and damage to property.

A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a disturbance along the ocean floor. This
disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsunami is undetectable far out in
the ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast traveling wave grows very large.

44. Tsunami happens because ....

A. The displaced rock pushes water above it
B. A major fault under the ocean floor slips suddenly
C. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the source
D. The waves moves across the ocean until they reach the beach
