C. Read the passage, and decide if the following statements are true, false or not mentioned 
(NM).

El Niño is a strange weather change. In Spanish, it means the Christ child since it often
occurs around Christmas. It begins in December and continues until March.

Once every four years, the World‟s largest weather system over the Pacific Ocean
changes. The winds that usually blow from East to West stop, then blow in the opposite
direction. This change makes the ocean currents reverse. The warm and high water at Indonesia
gets colder and drops to a lower level. The coasts of Southern America receive higher levels of
warm ocean water. Terrible rainstorms cause floods in the South American coastal countries. At
the same time, dry weather and low water cause drought in the Western Pacific nations. The
changes in winds and the ocean currents make the climate change. In 1982, thousands of people
lost their lives and thousands of others were left homeless when a terrible El Niño occurred.

Nowadays, scientists nowadays are using satellites to observe the atmosphere and the
ocean so as to predict what will happen and prevent the death and destruction.
