TEXTO PARA A PRÓXIMA QUESTÃO:
Eye on tsunamis
BLITZ PRÓ MASTER
Tsunamis aren't moon-driven tides or wind-driven waves at the sea surface. They're caused by violent
movements of rocks – seafloor earthquakes usually – that can put a whole ocean in motion. Since the first one on record
along Syria's coast in about 2000 B.C., a few thousand tsunamis have collectively killed more than five hundred thousand
people. Nearly half those deaths occurred in a single catastrophe in the Indian Ocean in 2004; as coastal populations
have boomed, tsunamis have grown more lethal. Their Japanese name – it means "harbor wave" – is perhaps a bit too
quiet.
Most large tsunamis arise around the rim of the Pacific and Indian oceans, along seafloor faults called subduction
zones, where colliding tectonic plates trigger large earthquakes. Waves spread in opposite directions from the fault.
Within minutes the first waves crash onto nearby land, as in Japan in 2011; within hours they cross the ocean. Even
thousands of miles away, a harbor may not be safe. Tsunamis remain dangerous after they've crossed a whole ocean,
barreling at the speed of a jetliner. The one that savaged Japan swept a man in California out to sea.
Some sixteen thousand people died in Japan last March 11, most of them along hundreds of miles of coast in the
Tohoku region, and nearly four thousand are still missing. The tsunami eradicated several towns and villages in Tohoku
and left hundreds of thousands homeless.

TEXTO PARA AS PRÓXIMAS 3 QUESTÕES:
Stranger than fiction
By Hillel E. Silverman
When the Old and New Cities of Jerusalem were reunited in 1967, a recently widowed Arab woman, who had
been living in Old Jerusalem since 1948, wanted to see once more the house in which she formerly lived. Now that the
city was one, she searched for and found her old home. She knocked on the door of the apartment, and a Jewish widow
came to the door and greeted her.
The Arab woman explained that she had lived there until 1948 and wanted to look around. She was invited in and
offered coffee. The Arab woman said, "When I lived here, I hid some valuables. If they are still here, I will share them with
you half and half."
The Jewish woman refused. "If they belonged to you and are still here, they are yours." After much discussion
back and forth, they entered the bathroom, loosened the floor planks, and found a hoard of gold coins. The Jewish
woman said, "I shall ask the government to let you keep them." She did and permission was granted.
The two widows visited each other again and again, and one day the Arab woman told her new friend, "You
know, in the 1948 fighting here, my husband and I were so frightened that we ran away to escape. We grabbed our
belongings, took the children, and each fled separately. We had a three-month-old son. I thought my husband had taken
1him, and he thought I had. Imagine our grief when we were reunited in Old Jerusalem to find that neither of us had taken
the child."
The Jewish woman turned pale, and asked the exact date. The Arab woman named the date and the hour, and
the Jewish widow told her: "My husband was one of the Israeli troops that entered Jerusalem. He came into this house
and found a baby on the floor. He asked if he could keep the house and the baby, too. Permission was granted".
At that moment, a twenty-year-old Israeli soldier in uniform walked into the room, and the Jewish woman broke
down in tears. "This is your son," she cried.
This is one of those incredible tales we hear. And the aftermath? The two women liked each other so much that
the Jewish widow asked the Arab mother: "Look, we are both widows living alone. Our children are grown up. This house
has brought you luck. You have found your son… our son. Why don’t we live together?" And they do.
