STRANDED AT SEA

It was the afternoon of 16th. We were out on air patrol, as usual. Nothing at all happened
until the late afternoon. A scattered storm hit the ocean then. We wanted to return to the carrier

was gone already. There was nothing I could do but land on the sea.
We landed safely. However, the plane sank so quickly that I had enough time merely to
blow the raft up. There was no time to load the raft with food or water. All we managed to save
for ourselves were our life-jackets, a pocket-knife, a pair of pliers, a pistol, and our wallets.
I had to try to bring tthe plane down as safely as possible all by myself. Then I planned to
get outside to blow up the rubber raft. Tony Pastula was saying a little prayer. He was sure he
himself would be killed in the crash. Gene Aldrich was convinced the rubber raft would burst and
sink.

All packaged food come with a nutrition label meant to provide you with the information
necessary to know exactly what you are eating. Understanding what ’s in the food you eat helps you
make healthier choices. Checking food labels also makes it easy for you to compare the nutrient
content of different options. A healthy diet is crucial throughout your lifetime and paying attention to
nutrition labels is a good step toward improving your overall diet.
The nutrition label provides key information such a serving size, calories, total fat, saturated
fat, cholesterol, protein, carbohydrate and vitamin content. The label also contains a list of the
ingredients. This information helps you stay on track with your daily targets. It also helps you avoid
certain ingredients if you have food intolerance or are following a diet that excludes certain
components, such as dairy.
Checking nutrition labels so that you know what and how much you ’re eating plays a central
role in being able to cut back on your intake. It’s recommended that you cut back your sodium
intake to less than 2,300 milligrams per day and your intake of added sugar and saturated fat to no
more than 5 to 15 percent of your daily calories, according to the dietary guidelines for Americans
2010. Check food labels for guidance as to how to reach your goal of cutting back on these
components.
Last, checking food labels for the fiber content plays a role in helping you increase your
intake. For instance, not all brown breads contain rich amounts of fiber. Several manufacturers use
coloring to make bread look healthier, so it’s crucial to read the label.
It’s crucial to determine your nutrition goals first, so that you can make the best use out of
food labels. For example, if you’re overweight, comparing the calorie content of various options
allows you to choose a low-calorie, nutritious item to stay within your daily calorie goals. The
information on serving size is particularly important since the nutrient information listed on a label is
often for more than one serving. Another example is if you have a chronic condition, such as if high
blood pressure, which is very important to pay attention to the sodium content.

Hundreds of years ago in a small Italian town, a merchant had a misfortune of owing a
large sum of money to a moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the
merchant’s beautiful daughter so he proposed a bargain. He said he would cancel the merchant ’s
debt if he could marry the merchant’s daughter. Both the merchant and his daughter were
horrified by the proposal.
The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an
empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black
pebble she would become the moneylender’s wife and her father ’s debt would be cancelled. If she
picked the white pebble, she need not marry him and her father ’s debt would still be forgiven.
However, if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.
They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the merchant ’s garden. As they talked the
moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. When he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl
noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the
girl to pick a pebble from the bag.
The girl had put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it,
she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became mixed with
all the other pebbles
“Oh, how clumsy of me,” she said, “ but never mind. If you look into the bag for the one
that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked. ” Since the remaining pebble is black, it
must be assumed that she had picked the white one. Furthermore, since the moneylender dared
not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an
advantageous one.

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.

27. 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 inform people about the different types of tsunami.
E. To warn people about the dangers of tsunami.

28. 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
E. Landslides

29. 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

Hundreds dead in Palu, Donggala still out of reach

Palu JP; At least 384 people are dead, 29 missing and 540 injured as rescue teams scoured
the ravaged city of Palu, Central Sulawesi, on Saturday, a day after a strong earthquake and
tsunami hit the region.
“Updated numbers of the victims show that 384 people died, 29 are missing and 540 are
injured. Donggala is still unreachable because communications are still cut off. A team has been
dispatched to the regency,” said National Disaster and Mitigation Agency (BNPB) spokesperson
Sutopo Purwo Nugroho at a press briefing on Saturday.
Sutopo added that the number of victims was likely to increase because the rescue teams
have yet to reach other affected areas.
A string of earthquakes hit the Central Sulawesi regency of Donggala on Friday afternoon,
one of which reached 7.4-magnitude on Friday at 6:02 p.m. local time.
The largest earthquake was followed by waves, which were 0.5 to 3 meters high, on parts
of Donggala’s coast and Talise Beach in Palu.
Sutopo said the earthquake had knocked out seven power stations owned by state
electricity company PLN in Palu and Donggala. On Saturday morning, the company managed to
power up two of them.
The blackout affected cellular network across the area, making it difficult for people to
communicate or agencies to gather information from the field.
“Communication networks in Donggala and Palu as well as the areas around it is not
working because the electricity is cut off. There are 276 base [network] stations that cannot be
used,” Sutopo told the media.
Sutopo said fixing the electricity and communication networks should be the priority right
now, besides evacuating people.
“Friday’s earthquake that hit Central Sulawesi was bigger than Lombok ’s. It was shallow,
only at a depth of 10 kilometers. Moreover, it was followed by a tsunami that damaged areas close
to the shore. We believe that the numbers of casualties will increase, ” he said.
The earthquake also destroyed the biggest shopping mall in Palu along with the iconic
Ponulele bridge that connected West and East Donggala.
The tsunami that followed inundated buildings near the shore and the Pesona Palu Nomoni
Festival arena, which was held on Friday evening.
“Hundreds of people attended the event, and we still don ’t have any news about their
fate,” Sutopo said.
