A 7.0 magnitude (级) earthquake killed more than 230,000 people in Haiti. Then an 8.8 magnitude
quake killed more than 900 people in Chile. And few weeks later, a 6.0 magnitude quake struck rural
eastern Turkey, killing at least 57 people.
The earthquakes kept coming hard and fast. 1 It's not. The problem is what's happening above
ground, not underground, experts say.
2 They're rapidly putting up buildings that can't stand up to earth quakes, scientists believer.
And news reports and better earthquake monitoring make it seem as if earth quakes are increasing all
the time.
On average, there are 134 earthquakes a year that have a magnitude between 6.0 and 6.9. So far this
year there have been 40 earthquakes-more than in most years for that time period. But that's because the 8.8 quake in Chile caused a large number of strong aftershocks.
Also, it's not the number of quakes, but their destructive effects that gain attention. The death is largely due to building standards, 3 Paul Earle, a US seismologist, called for better building standards in the
world's big cities.
Of the 130 cities worldwide with populations of more than I million, more than half are likely to be hit
by earthquakes. 4 "If you have a problem feeding yourself, you're not really going to worry about
earthquakes," said Paul.
The earthquakes made everyone start to think 5 "People are paying attention to the violent planet
we're always lived on. Come back an another six moths if there has been no earthquakes, most people
will have forgotten it again," said US disaster researcher Dennis Mileti.
A. But it won't last.
B. More people are moving into big cities.
C. Earthquakes don't kill people, buildings do.
D. There have been more deaths overt the past decade from earthquakes.
E. Many people began to wonder if something terrible is happening underground.
F. While it seems as if the are more earthquakes occurring, there really aren't.
G. But developing nations with growing populations don't pay attention to earthquake preparedness.

Gift Giving 1.______ There are many occasions (场合) for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies: birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one's first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift giving. 2.______ What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation (义务). 3.______ Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient (接受者) know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person "feel special." We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say "I'm sorry." Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages-often very expressive ones. 4.______ People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years:"I appreciate these, and they mean something to me," the woman said, "because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we've had." The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come and remember her. 5.______ Emotions (情感) like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given. The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue. |
