Five years after a deadly earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, recovery remains years away.

More than 16,000 people died in the disaster and more than 470,000 were displaced from their homes, says the Japanese Red Cross Society. Over 2,500 people are still missing and?predicted?dead. After pressure from survivors, the Japanese Coast Guard began underwater searches for the missing.

In Fukushima, more than 100,000 families still cannot return home, says the Red Cross Society. This is because of radioactive pollution from the damaged Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

In Japan, the disaster is known as "3-1-1," marking the date five years ago.

It was really three disasters rolled into one.

"It started with an earthquake?devastating(毁灭)?in itself, then the tsunami, and then the radiation from the nuclear plant," said Shioko Goto, a Japan expert at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. Goto said the disaster showed the world, "Japanese?resilience(快速恢复的能力) and Japanese unity."

But it also showed shortcomings. Among the most notable, the long time it took to?stabilize?the Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant after it was flooded from the tsunami, Goto said. That process took eight months. Another, Japan's dependence on nuclear power, she said. The disaster forced Japan to close all of its nuclear power plants, leaving parts of the country without electricity.

Goto offered up one major difference from the last major Japanese disaster, the 1995 Kobe Earthquake. In 2011, social media was everywhere, she said. Social media offered up plenty of "unfounded rumors and?fear-mongering,（制造恐慌）" Goto said.

But it also kept pressure on Japanese authorities to do more. Chikara Yoshida lost his only son, a 43-year-old volunteer fireman, on March 11, 2011. He and his daughter posted a petition (许愿书)on Facebook to restart underwater searches. It drew over 28,000 signatures, according to the Associated Press.

The Japanese Coast Guard announced that it would resume searches this week. There have also been complaints that reconstruction efforts in hard-hit northern Japanese communities have been too slow. This week, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the government will respond.

24. The number of the people who died in the disaster is __________.

A. more than 18,500 B. over 16,000

C. over 470,000 D. more than 2,500

25. What are the three disasters rolling into one?

A. Nuclear power, tsunami and earthquake

B. Flood, earthquake and tsunami

C. Flood, tsunami and nuclear power

D. Earthquake, tsunami and nuclear radiation

26. Which of the following statements is true?

A. In Fukushima, more than 10,000 families still cannot return home

B. The disaster forced Japan to close most of its nuclear power plants

C. Japanese authorities were forced to do more after the disaster

D. Chikara Yoshida and his daughter posted a petition on the Associated Press

27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. the government can’t afford such a large sum of money in reconstruction efforts

B. People complained reconstruction efforts in hard-hit northern Japanese communities have been too slow

C. People in hard-hit northern communities have had a happy life since the disaster

D. The government may take measures to promote reconstruction

The Internet is full of headlines that grab your attention with buzzwords(流行词). But often when we click through, we find the content hardly delivers and it wastes our time. We close the page, feeling we've been cheated. These types of headlines are called "click bait".

??? A headline on BusinessInsider.com reads:?"This phrase will make you seem more polite". First, when you click through, you find another headline: "Four words to seem more polite." Then, on reading the article, you find it's actually an essay about sympathy. And what are the four words? They're "Wow, that sounds hard." On some video websites, you might encounter headlines such as "Here's what happens when six puppies visited a campus". Turns out it's just some uneventful dog footage（镜头）.

???? Nowadays, with the popularity of social media, many news outlets tweet?（推送）?click bait links to their stories. These tweets take advantage of the curiosity gap or attempt to draw the reader into a story using a question in the headline. These click bait headlines are so annoying that someone is attempting to save people time by exposing news ou
