News report one
A NASA satellite orbiting over Portugal took photographs that reveal the
effects of pollution from ships. One of the photos shows a thin film of clouds
above the brilliant blue of the north Atlantic, cut by white lines of thicker clouds
that look like scars. (1) NASA officials explained those thicker clouds are signs of
ship traffic below when ships power their way through the ocean, they pump
exhaust into the atmosphere. Just as cars do.
And those massive amounts of particles can cause clouds to form, get enough
of those particles in one place as from the exhaust of a ship. And they can lead to
the creation of new clouds easily visible from space. These clouds can be huge.
Some of them stretch hundreds of kilometers from end to end. (2) NASA officials
said it's likely that these sorts of clouds are having some effect on the global
climate, according to NASA officials.
But scientists aren't yet sure what effect it has. questions one and two are
based on the news report you have just heard.
Question 1 What has caused the thick clouds in the photos taken by a NASA
satellite?
Question 2 What do NASA officials think about the thick clouds?
News report two
Staff at a suburban supermarket in Melbourne say they feel unsafe at work
after security guards were removed. This came after a series of physical attacks and
verbal abuse by customers. (3) More than 50 workers at the store have signed a
letter calling for a permanent security guard following a series of incidents,
including a customer threatening to attack a supervisor with a knife. A security
worker had guard at the storm each night from seven pm until 12 am.
But that had stopped suddenly on Monday, employees said. One worker said
an angry customer had thrown a chicken at his head after complaining about how
long she had waited to be served. Another worker said the lack of protection at the
storm made her feel uncomfortable at work. (4) However, the spokesman of the
supermarket said the store had taken strong action in response to incidents. We
have found very few instances of bad customer behavior at our store in the past
year. In the rare cases, we have seen bad behavior. We have taken strong action in
response, including banning a customer from the store.
Question 3 For what purpose did this staff at a supermarket in Melbourne sign
a letter?
Question 4 What did the spokesman of the supermarkets say regarding the
employees demand?
New report three
(5) Drivers on their way to the polish capital of Warsaw on Wednesday
morning found the road blocked by an unusual obstacle. Tons of liquid chocolate
that spilled onto the motorway. A truck carrying the sweet load hit a road barrier
and overturned, blocking two lanes. (6) The cracked tank spilled a pool of a rapidly
hardening chocolate, which quickly covered the width of the road, while the driver
was taken to hospital with a broken arm, firefighters struggled to remove a
reported 12 tons of solid chocolate from the road. (7) A representative for the
firefighters told the local TV that removing the chocolate was worse than dealing
with snow. After contacting the chocolate manufacturer, the firefighters resorted
to spraying hot, pressurized water to get rid of the sticky substance. The local TV
also noted that the cleanup spanned more than a Mile because drivers simply
drove through the chocolate after the crash, leaving a long chocolate trail. But
despite the sticky situation, firefighters and police attending to the cleanup were
reportedly cheerful about the long task ahead. After all, who could be mad about
12 tons of chocolate?
