A 10-year-old British girl saved 100 other tourists from the Asian tsunami because she had warned them a huge body of water was on its way after learning something about these weeks earlier at school.
“I was on the beach and the water started to go funny,” Tilly Smith told the Sun.
“There were bubbles（水泡）and the huge waters went out suddenly. I realized at once what was happening and had a feeling that there was going to be a tsunami. I soon told mummy about this.”
While other holidaymakers stood and watched when the disappearing waters left boats and fish on the sands. Tilly seemed to know the danger signs at once because she had just learned a school lesson on huge waves caused by the moving and shaking of the underwater earth.
Quick action by Tilly’s mother and workers of the Thai(泰國的) hotel meant Maikhao beach was quickly cleared, just minutes before a huge wave fully swept（風浪等的席卷）the beach. The beach was one of the few on the Thai island of Phuket where no one was killed.
Her teacher, Andrew Kearney, was proud of his quick-thinking student. “Tilly is a very bright, clear-headed girl. It happened that our class was learning about tsunami just two weeks before Christmas,” he told the newspaper.
1. What is “the Sun” in the second paragraph of the passage?
A. It is the name of a person. B. It is the name of a star in the sky.
C. It is the name of a newspaper. D. It is the name of one of the tourists.
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Andrew Kearney came to the Thai island of Phuket two weeks before Christmas.
B. Tilly Smith knew a tsunami would happen, so she learned about it in her lesson.
C. Tilly Smith and her mother went to the Thai island of Phuket for their holidays.
D. Maikhao beach is one of few beaches in Britain where a tsunami sometimes happens.
3. What does the underlined sentence “The beach was one of the few on the Thai island of Phuket where no one was killed.” in the fifth paragraph mean?
A. Only 100 tourists were not killed on the Thai island of Phuket.
B. No tourists were killed on Maikhao beach in the Asian tsunami.
C. All tourists were saved by Tilly on the Thai island of Phuket.
