EXAMINATION CARD № 32

I. Reading

Read the text given below. For questions (1–6), decide if the statements T (True) or F (False).

The Earthquake I had found a cave to live in and had spent three or four months building a wall around its entrance. It meant that I had to enter my home by using a ladder, but at least I would be safe from the wild animals and any other creatures which may live on the island.

When I had finally finished building, I pitched my tent in the space between the cave mouth and the wall and felt very comfortable and content. However, this feeling did not last long. The very next day, when I was busy in my new home, just inside the entrance to the cave, I saw some earth falling from the roof of my cave, and I heard two of the supporting posts, which I had put up, make a frightening, cracking noise. I was afraid that the roof of the cave was about to fall in and bury me alive, so I ran to my ladder and climbed over the wall to get clear of any falling rocks which might roll down the hill.

The moment I stepped down onto the ground, I realised that a terrible earthquake was taking place. The ground I was standing on shook three times, with a pause of about eight minutes between each tremor. The shaking was so strong that it would have brought down the strongest building in the world. Huge waves were crashing on the shore and making a terrible noise as the earthquake shook the water.

The experience frightened me so much that I was stunned, and could do nothing but stare around me. I felt sick from the shaking of the earth, as if I was in a boat on a rough sea. Then, suddenly, I heard a crash as rocks fell from the hill, and I was filled with fear. I was worried that my months of work would have been destroyed in a few minutes and that my few belongings would be destroyed. This thought made me so sad that I felt my heart sink in my chest. I sat on the ground until I was sure that the earthquake had stopped. However, I was still afraid to go back into my cave in case the roof collapsed on top of me. I did not know what to do.

After some time, I began to feel calmer and made a new plan. If earthquakes happened often on this island, then I would have to build a new home. A cave was not a safe place to live. This time, I would make a hut, surrounded by a wall, and I would live there without fear.
