Outdoor Song
(by: Jason Mraz)
Back in the cool, cool air where the sun is shinning
Nothing’s going to stop me
It’s all in the timing
It’s finally again my turn
It’s time to return

‘Cause I won’t stay inside no more

No more
I can’t wait to go
Outdoors

Well open up your door and be like me

Open up your door and then breathe free
And look at all the beauty you’ll feel
Loved, loved, loved, loved

Listen to the music of the wind and the brides sing

We’re just one big family
And all of nature deserves to be
Loved, loved, loved, loved,
Loved

So, I won’t stay inside no more

No more
It can’t wait, I’m sure
There’s need to run and hide
Let’s go explore
It feels so great let’s go outdoors

(Don’t cha do)

Everyone come on
come on out there
where the air is fresh and clear
So, I won’t stay inside no more
No more
It cannot wait
Let’s go out doors

Well, open up your door and be like me

Open up your door and then breathe free
And look at all the beauty and you’ll find
The earth and the sky is your
So please go, there’s no need,
There’s no need to hide inside
Let’s go explore
This will, this will feel so great
Let’s go outdoors

Tsunami

A tsunami is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or in the sea is rapidly
displaced on a massive scale. Earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions and large meteorite impacts
all have the potential to generate a tsunami. The effects of a tsunami can range from unnoticeable to
devastating.
The term of tsunami comes from the Japanese language meaning harbour (tsu) and wave
(nami). Although in Japanese tsunami is used for both singular and plural, in English “tsunamis” is
well-established as the plural. The term was created by fisherman who returned to port to find the area
surrounding the harbour devastated, although they had not been aware of any wave in the open water.
A tsunami is not a sub-surface event in the deep ocean; it simply has a much smaller amplitude (wave
heights) offshore, a very long wavelength (often hundreds kilometers long), which is why they
generally pass unnoticed at sea, forming only a passing “hump” in the ocean.
Tsunamis have been historically referred to as “tidal waves” because as they approach land
they take on the characteristics of a violent onrushing tide rather than the sort of cresting waves that
are formed by wind action upon the ocean (with which people are more familiar). However, since they
are not related to tides, the term is considered misleading and its usage is discouraged by
oceanographers.

closest meaning to the underlined word?
A. Only C. Rarely E. Really
E. Obviously D. Actually
 14. Which doesn’t have the potential to generate tsunami?
A. Earthquakes C. Volcanic eruptions E. Large meteorite impacts
