PART 1
Read the text and decide if the following statements are true (T) or false (F) (0, 3 pt/ea).

Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when people were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the earthquake began to shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire engines were prevented from going to help because many of the roads had cracked open. It is impossible to use fire fighting equipments. Consequently, over ninety percent of the damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of buildings.
