They soon went on to other countries in the south and southeast Asia as well as East Africa . Tsunamis are especially dangerous for children .By Wednesday ,nearly 60,000 people died because of the tsunamis .One third of them were children . Children make up at least half of the people in Asia .The walls of water have killed many members of Asia families .In many Asia countries near the sea ,poor kids helped their parents fish .So they were in harm’s way when the tsunamis came . In Sri Lanka ,when the first waves hit ,thousands of children came to the seaside .The waves brought in fish .The old and the young collected them .Many waited to see more .Then tsunamis six meters high hit the island of 19 million people . “They got caught and could not run to safety. This is the reason why so many children have died .” said a policeman in Sri Lanka . Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes .When two large pieces of the earth run into one another ,an earthquake happens.The movement gives the sea water a sudden push and makes it move fast.Scientists don’t know when an earthquake will happen ,so they could not tell people about the tsunamis . In open seas tsunamis are only one or two meters high .When they are near the land ,they are as high as 10 meters .Houses and cars near the sea can be taken away by these big waves .Because tsunamis move fast and can travel to another side of the sea within one day , they may affect (影响) a lot of places . The Pacific Ocean(太平洋)has a lot of strong tsunamis because of the size of the ocean and larg earthquakes there .China doesn’t see tsunamis often because its sea floor is quite flat .Islands around China also help the country stay away from them . What should you do when there’s a tsunamis ?Move to a safe place .If you are near the sea and you feel the earthquake , move to higher ground .Stay away from rivers and streams .

Tsunamis Kill in Asia B What makes red tides (赤潮) happen ? Red tides only happen when conditions in the sea are right .In the past few years ,factories and people have been putting more chemicals(化学物品)into the sea .These chemicals help algae and protozoa to grow very quickly .The temperature of the sea is also important .Red tides usually happen at 20 to 30 degrees Celsius (摄氏度) . If the water’s temperature goes up to two degrees in as week , scientists may tell fishermen to get ready for a red tide .Red tides often happen in dry , warm areas where there is little wind . Living things grow easily in these places. Sometimes fishermen help red tides by mistake. They put small sea animals into the water for food to help fish grow .When they put too many in and don’t clean up what is left , those animals can make the water dirty . That helps the living things to grow better . ( ) 6 Why did red tides happen in the past few years ? A. We don’t know the reason B.
