In about four hours, the ship disappeared into the sea, said Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow. The ship had no lights or communications system, and its tank was able to carry more than 7,570 liters of diesel fuel. Officials, however, didnt know exactly how much fuel was aboard. “Its less risky than it would be running into shore or running into other ships,” coast guard spokesman Paul Webb said. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship than let the fuel evaporate and pollute the sea environment.Ryou-Un Maru was probably among the first wave of the 1.5 million tons of garbage of refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, roofs and fishing nets heading toward North America since last March when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck Japan.As the coast guard was ready to fire on the vessel, a Canadian fishing vessel, the 19-meter Bernice C, claimed the rights to save the ghost ship in international waters. Plans to sink it were paused so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship. A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press that the Bernice C was unable to drag it. Then the Canadian boat left, and once it was about 10 kilometers from the Japanese vessel, the Coast Guard began to fire, first with 25 mm shells, then a few hours later with ammunition twice that size. State officials have been working to test the danger of garbage including materials affected by a damaged nuclear power plant, to see if Alaska residents, seafood or wild animals could be affected.56. Which of the following is NOT the reason for sinking the Japanese ship? A. It had no lights or communications system. B. It might be washed up onto the shore. C. It was a danger to other passing ships. D. The oil it carried could pollute the sea.57. The plan to fire on the Japanese ghost ship was paused because _. A. the ghost ship was beyond the reach of the Coast Guards guns B. the shells were not powerful enough to sink the ghost ship C. state officials worried the ghost ship might give out radiation D. a Canadian fishing boat wanted to save the ghost ship58. Whats the right order of the events related to the ship of Ryou-Un Maru? a. Its long, lonely voyage came to an end.b. The US Coast Guard sank it into the sea.c. The ship began to float across the Pacific Ocean.d. A big tsunami was caused by great earthquakes.e. Bernice C claimed rights to save the ghost ship. A. a, b, d, c, e B. d, c, e, b, a C. b, a, d, c, e D. c, e, d, a, b59. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. Japanese ghost ship arriving at US B. Tsunami garbage heading to USC. Cannon fire sinking Japanese ghost ship D. Japanese ghost ship polluting the PacificB1.

A. 165.9 B. 152.95 C. 258.9 D. 305.9CAbuse can be defined as “to treat wrongfully or harmfully”. There are different categories of abuse that have been recognized and within our case study there appear to be two distinct forms of abuse, family abuse and child abuse. These can be subdivided into terms of physical abuse and psychological abuse. Physical abuse is the intentional physical injury or harm or deliberately not preventing harm occurring. The minimum physical signs seen in our study of James are bruises but they might feel more painful to his heart than the more serious invisible injuries. Emotional abuse is the continual failure to meet basic emotional needs. Emotional development is prevented and well-being harmed. The emotional signs in our case study can be seen in James by his actions of being withdrawn and non-communicative. The behavioural sign to abuse taking place to James is his aggressive behaviour.The short term effect of physical abuse on James is physical pain. In the long term, injuries that often happen can result in secondary illness and complications, permanent scars or even disabilities. His emotional effects in the short term are a fear of people, withdrawal, and poor relationship with others. The long term emotional effects could be low self-respect, depression, inability to form relationships.Abuse can arise for many reasons and there are a number of theoretical views which may be useful in clarifying why the abuse has taken place. The female view believes that sex and family roles give approval to a culture of abuse. Considering the historical and fixed ideas, men have power and control. In James case he lives in a re-constructed family with the father being rude and a heavy drinker. From a psychological angle, alcohol misuse can bring mental health problems which may increase aggression in the person and so James is more at risk from abuse by his stepfather. The relationship between the mother and James involves a dependency of James on his mother. With other problems in James mothers life, this leads to increasing st
