     On 26th January, the biggest earthquake(地震)in India took the lives of 25000 people. In the morning, when
everybody was enjoying holiday, earthquake began. It was about 7.5 on the Ritcher scale. "There is nothing
left between the sky and the earth any more. Everything has been pulled down," said one of the villagers alive.
"There is no water, no food and no one has come to help."
     Nobody died in Pakistan, a country next to India. The City of Lahore was lucky. In Lahore American school,
where I was studying, all of the students were safe. They were on the field, so most children didn't feel anything.
The earthquake was felt by the teachers that were on the second floor. However, though Mrs Young was also on
the second floor, she didn't feel anything. She didn't know what happened until a teacher told her about it. Those
teachers who were on the other floors had different feelings. Mr Emond, the maths teacher from Australia, said
that when the earthquake started he thought there was something wrong with him, but then another teacher said
that it was an earthquake. After those words Mr Emond felt better. Mrs Davis and Mr Frost didn't feel anything
either.
     My mother didn't feel anything. She didn't even know that it was an earthquake till she saw a shaking (moving
from side to side) light. My dad saw the computer shaking and then he looked out of the window and saw many
people going out.
1. People use "Ritcher scale" to tell ______.
A.where the earthquake takes place  
B. when the earthquake takes place

     It was a dark night. I saw bright light in my neighbor's kitchen. I thought he could be having a midnight
  snack so I went back to my bed. Soon, there was a burning smell and I thought something must be
 wrong. At once, I jumped out of bed and went downstairs to have a look. I saw a fire (火) coming out of
  my neighbor's kitchen. I shouted "Fire!" But there was no one nearby to hear my shouts for help. I ran
 quickly into my house and called the Fire Department (消防部门) and went back to my neighbor's house.
  I knocked (敲) at the door and called my neighbor's name, but there was no answer. I tried to break into
  the house and saved a cat and a rabbit. I tried to pour water through the kitchen window but it was no
  use, the fire is too big. Luckily, a fire engine (消防车) arrived and the firemen put out the fire.
     When my neighbor came back, he was sad because his kitchen was burnt down, but he thanked me for
  calling the Fire Department and for saving his pets.
     A week later, my neighbor invited me to his home for dinner. At his new kitchen, he took a photo of
 me. Later on, he gave me the photo as a present. It made me very happy.

       A man died and was on his way to another world, either heaven (天堂) or hell (地狱). He saw an
extremely grand palace half way and the owner of the palace asked him to stay and live in the palace. 
       The man said, “I have been working hard during my life and now I just want to eat and sleep without any work.”
       The owner of the palace said, “If so, there is nowhere else better than here for you. There is plenty
of seafood and delicacies (美味佳肴) in my palace, and you can eat whatever you like without anyone
stopping you. And nothing needs to be done by you.” Then, the man settled down (安定) in the palace.
       At the beginning, the man felt very happy at the cycle of eating and sleeping. But gradually, he felt a
bit lonely and void. So he went to the palace owner and said, “It is very bored to live by just eating and
sleeping every day. Now I show no interest in this kind of life any more. Could you help me find a job?”
       The owner replied, “Sorry, there is no job here at all.”
       After another several months, the man could not go on with the life and went to the palace owner
again, “I really can not stand this kind of life any more. If you do not offer me a job, I would prefer to
go to hell instead of living here.”
       The owner of the palace smiled contemptuously (蔑视地), “Do you think it is heaven here? It is
actually hell!”
