   Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their name from the Japanese expression for "high water in a harbour." These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with tides. Scientists often referred to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do result from undersea seismic activity. Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or volcano for example, 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, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no more than one or two meters. It is when they hit the shallow waters near the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 metres. Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity. Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis are Japan and Hawaii. Because the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often come with little warning and can, therefore, prove disastrous. Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands, however, originate thousands of miles away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time for warning of their imminent arrival. Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii. In 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused a massive tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon. The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more

than 30 metres high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel.

Question 8: It can be inferred from the passage that tsunamis________.

A. generally reach heights greater than 40 metres

B. cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean

C. are often identified by ships on the ocean

D. are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean

Question 9: From the expression "on record" in line 18, it can be inferred that the tsunami that accompanied the Krakatoa volcano________.

A. was filmed as it was happening  B. was not as strong as the tsunami in Lisbon

C. might not be the greatest tsunami ever D. occurred before efficient records were kept

Question 10: According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves EXCEPT that________.

A. they are the same as tsunamis

B. this terminology is not used by the scientific community

C. they are caused by sudden changes in high and low tides

D. they refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves

Question 11: The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses________.

A. tides  B. underwater earthquakes C. tidal waves D. storm surges

Question 12: A main difference between tsunamis in Japan and in Hawaii is that tsunamis in Japan are more likely to________.

A. be less of a problem   B. originate in Alaska

C. come from greater distances  D. arrive without warning

   A lot of advice is available for college leavers heading for their first job. In this article, we consider the move to a second job. We are not concerned with those looking for a second temporary position while hunting for a permanent job. Nor are we concerned with those leaving an unsatisfactory job within the first few weeks. Instead, we will be dealing with those of you taking a real step on the career ladder, choosing a job to fit in with your ambitions now that you have learnt your way around, acquired some skills and have some idea of where you want to go.

   What sort of job should you look for? Much depends on your long-term aim. You need to ask yourself whether you want to specialize in a particular field, work your way up to higher levels of responsibility or out of your current employment into a broader field.

   Whatever you decide, you should choose your second job very carefully. You should be aiming to stay in it for two or three years. This job will be studied very carefully when you send your letter of application for your next job. It should show evidence of serious career planning. Most important,

it should extend you, develop you and give you increasing responsibility. Incidentally, if you are interested in travelling, now is the time to pack up and go. You can do temporary work for a while when you return, pick up where you left off and get the second job then. Future potential employers will be relieved to see that you have got it out of your system, and are not likely to go off again.
