Reading Comprehension
Read the following passage , then answer the questions :
The people of Kiribati are afraid that one day in the not too distant future , their country will disappear from the face of the earth literally . Several times this year , the Pacific Island nation has been flooded by a sudden high tide . These tides , which swept across the island and destroyed house , came when there was neither wind nor rain .
" This never happened before ," say the older citizens of Kiribati .
What is causing these mysterious high tides ? The answer may well be global warming . When fuels like oil and coal are being burned , pollutants are released ; these pollutants trap heat in the earth's atmosphere . Warmer temperatures cause water to expand and also create more water by melting glaciers and polar ice caps .
If the trend continues , scientists say many countries will suffer . Bangladesh , for example , might lose one fifth of its land . The coral island nations of the Pacific , like Kiribati and the Marshall Islands , however , would face an even worse fate they would be swallowed by the sea . The loss of these coral islands would be everyone's loss . Coral formations are home to more species than any other place on earth .
The people of these nations feel frustrated . The sea , on which their economies have always been based , is suddenly threatening their existence . They don't have the money for expensive technological solutions like seawalls . And they have no control over the pollutants , which are being released mainly by activities in large industrialized countries . All they can do is to hope that industrialized countries will take steps to reduce pollution .
Choose the correct answer :
1- Glaciers are …………………..
a- icebergs b- polar birds c- ice rivers d- snow
2- The economy of coral island nations depends mainly on ……….
a- fishing b- industry c- tourism d- agriculture
3- Industrialized countries shouldn't ……………….
a- take steps b- build seawalls c- stand still d- reduce pollution
4- The island was flooded when it was …………….
a- windy b- rainy c- both windy and rainy d- normal
5- What problem did the people of Kiribati face ?
……………………………………………………………………………………
……………………………………………………………………………………
6- How should they solve this problem ?
……………………………………………………………………………………

7- Why couldn't they overcome the high tides ?
