Do men-of-war live only in warm water?
How far can a man-of-war reach when attacking a creature?
What could cause loss of blood?
This paragraph contains the answer to which question?So, why would you want to avoid swimming near these creatures? Their tentacles. Although men-of-war float on the surface, their tentacles can find prey 10 metres under the water and in some cases, they can reach up to 50 metres. Each of these tentacles is covered with poisonous venom that the carnivorous man-of-war uses toparalyze fish and other small sea creatures. The sting is rarely fatal for humans, but it is extremely painful. Imagine the worst pain you have ever experienced and multiply that by ten. You are not even close. And even when they are dead, these creatures can still give you a nasty sting.

What is the main idea of this paragraph?‘The dig began in June 2013, when a small number of volunteer archaeologists met in Athens for the initial training. We spent a day in the archaeological museum, some hours on the Acropolis, and then prepared for the next stage of our adventure. The next day we went to Piraeus, the port of Athens, and took a ferry to Heraklion,Crete, where the dig was happening.

What is the main idea of this paragraph?If you should be unlucky enough to be stung by one of these creatures, vinegar should never be used. It could cause severe bleeding. The best thing to do is to remove any parts of the tentacles that may be stuck to your skin, being careful not to touch them with your fingers. You should then apply salt water (not fresh water, as this will make the sting worse). You can further ease the pain by soaking the affected area in hot water for 15–20 minutes.

What is the main idea of this paragraph?In the autumn of 2012, I received an email from an old school friend who had studied archaeology at university. In his email, Gunther mentioned that he was going to volunteer as an excavator in Greece the following summer, searching the earth for clues about how the ancient Greeks might have lived. I was immediately taken by theidea of travelling down to Greece for the summer and contacted the professor who was directing the dig. Her secretary got back to me saying that although I had little practical experience of such work, the professor would be happy to take me on.

What is the main idea of this reading text?Alaska’s glaciers are retreating at an increasing rate. Every year 19 trillion tons of melt water are pouring into the sea and not being replenished. As the glaciers melt, it is the rest of the world that is affected. Alaskan glaciers are melting so fast they currently account for ten per cent of the world’s rising sea levels. This is the most dramatic transformation the area has undergone since the last ice age and shows how global warming is changing our environment. Already, many of the world’s island nations are under risk of flooding. Very soon, these small, defenseless countries could be completely submerged.

What is the main idea of this reading text?However, Alaska’s 100,000 glaciers are now under threat of disappearing because they are very sensitive to the effects of climate change. To better understand how and why this is having such an impact on Alaska’s glaciers, in recent years parties of scientists have followed the melt streams that run through these slowly disappearing mountains of ice and snow.

what happens when there is not enough snow
What is the main idea of this reading text?These fast rivers of freezing water are formed as glaciers melt, and are an important measure of glacial health. Every glacier is in balance. The amount of snow falling in winter must equal the amount that melts in the summer. If that balance changes, and there is less snow than the amount that melts in the summer, the glacier will disappear. Right now, that is what is happening. These glaciers are melting faster than they are growing. And when a glacier disappears, it is gone for good. It tumbles off the mountains and into the sea, never to return.
