You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage1 Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born.

Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-warming systems, public education programs and evacuation( 拔 散 ） strategics.Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international warming systems.
