A/Comprehension: Read the following text carefully and do the following activities.
Kathmandu, Nepal(CNN) 2:56 PM-27 April 2015
A magnitude -7.8 centred less than 50 miles from Kathmandu rocked Nepal with devastating force last Saturday.
The earthquake and its aftershocks have turned one of the world's most scenic regions into a panorama of devastation.
More than 4,600 people dead, over 9,000 injured, eight million affected across the poor country and one million children
urgently in need of help. Those are the startling numbers that indicate the scale of the devastation from the huge
earthquake that struck the Himalayan nation. Some of the grim figures are likely to get even worse as hopes of rescuing
any more survivors diminish every hour.
The landslide happened around 4 p.m.in Langtang National Park, said Ramesh Dhamala, president of the
Trekking Agents of Nepal. Laxmi Dhakal, spokesman for Nepal's Home Ministry, said he was aware of reports about the
landslide but wasn't immediately able to confirm details.
Quake relief efforts continued Tuesday, but officials warned that they were hampered by problems of getting aid
into the country and then delivering it to some of the remote communities in desperate need.
