III, READING
1/ Reading the passage and decide if the following sentences are true or false.
Almost 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 damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of buildings.
Most of those who died were not killed in the earthquake itself but in the fires, which followed. If the
earthquake had occured at night while people were sleeping, far fewer would haved died.
