Read the text about disasters. Choose the best answers (A, B, C or D).
A disaster is an event that causes widespread destruction, damage, and loss of life.
Disasters can occur naturally, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, or they can be man-made,
such as oil spills, nuclear accidents, and industrial fires. Regardless of the cause, disasters
have a profound impact on people, and their effects can last for years.
One of the most devastating natural disasters in recent history was the earthquake in
Haiti in 2010. The 7.0 magnitude quake caused widespread destruction, killing over
200,000 people and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. The disaster severely
impacted the infrastructure of Haiti, making it difficult for relief and aid organizations to
reach those in need.
Man-made disasters can also have severe effects. For example, the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 was the largest marine oil spill in history.
The spill caused significant damage to marine and wildlife habitats, as well as the local
fishing and tourism industries. It took months to control the spill, and its effects are still
being felt today.
Disasters can also have long-lasting effects on those who experience them. Loss of
loved ones, homes, and possessions can have a significant impact on a person's mental
health. Also, the disruption of normal daily life can make it difficult for people to regain a
sense of normalcy. While we can not always avoid disasters, it is important to be prepared
and to work together after the disasters to help those in need and to begin the recovery
process.
