Two Earthquakes in Two Months：

Comparing the Quakes in Haiti(海地)and Chile(智利)

　　Overview(概要)How do the earthquakes in Chile and Haiti compare?Here, students perform a gallery walk to learn more about the earthquakes from a specific point, and then do a specific research and presentation project or response activity．Finally, they seek answers to their unanswered questions．

　　Materials Print copies of photographs, charts, documents and other visuals to display, as described below; computer(s)with Internet access(optional), research materials, handouts．

　　Warm-up Choose and prepare a“gallery”of photographs, graphics, news reports and other materials to display around the room to enable students to consider the 2010 earthquake in Chile．

　　Depending on course program, choose materials for the gallery that provide a window on the two quakes, through one of the following specific points, or the focus of your choice：

　　Earthquakes through History Putting the 2010 Chilean and Haitian quakes into historical view related to other earthquakes, including the 1960 Chilean quake and the 2004 Asian earthquake and tsunami．

　　Rescue and Aid Considering domestic and international response to the disasters by militaries, governments and aid organizations, including rescue and recovery as well as efforts to provide food, water, health care and shelter to those affected．

　　Related The article Underwater Plate Cuts 400 Mile Gash compares several earthquakes：

　　Mr．Lin figured that the quake on Saturday was 250 to 350 times more powerful than the Haitian quake．

　　But Paul Caruso noted that at least on land, the effects of the Chilean tremor(震动)might not be as bad．For one thing, he said, the quality of building construction is generally better in Chile than in Haiti．And the fact that the quake occurred offshore should also help limit the destruction．In Haiti, the rupture(断裂)occurred only a few miles from the capital, Port-au-Prince．The rupture on Saturday was centered about 60 miles from the nearest town, Chillan, and 70 miles from the country's second-largest city, Concepción．

　　Read the article using the following questions．

　　Questions For discussion with others and reading comprehension：

     Two men, who were both seriously ill,  occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to
sit up in his bed for an hour a day to get rid of the fluids (液体) from his lungs. His bed was next to the
room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time lying flat on his back.
     The men talked for hours on_end. They talked about everything in their life. But always, the best
subject was the time when his roommate described all the things he could see outside the window.
     The man in the other bed would live for those onehour periods where his world would be
broadened and enlivened by all the activities and color of the outside world. The man had said out of
the window was a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans (天鹅) played on the water while children
sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color. Old trees graced the
landscape,  and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window
described all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the
scene.
     One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other
man could not hear the band, he could see it in his eye as the man by the window described it.
Unexpectedly, an alien thought entered his head: Why should he have all the pleasure of seeing
everything while I never get to see anything? It didn't seem fair. As the thought fermented (发酵), the
man felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights, his envy became
resentment and soon turned him sour. These dark thoughts made himself unable to sleep. He should be
by that window-and that thought now controlled his life.
     Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling, the man by the window began to cough
uncontrollably and pushed the button calling for help. But he never moved, never pushed his own
button,  which would have brought the nurse running. In about five minutes the man was gone.
     When his body was taken away, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window.
His wish was soon granted (满足).
     But when he strained to take his first look out of the window, he found it faced a blank wall.

1. Which is the proper title of the passage?

A. The relationship between the two men.
B. Envy turns the soul sour.
C. The two men, who were both seriously ill, were in hospital.
D. The time the two men spent together in hospital.

2. What does the phrase "on end" mean in the second paragraph?

A. in total
B. ending
C. only
D. without stopping

3. What kind of person is the man by the window?

A. A liar.
B. An honest person.
C. A dull person.
D. A kind person.

4. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?

A. What the man by the window described was real.
B. Envy makes one's health worse day after day.
C. At first the man who couldn't see the sight outside the window could imagine the sight.
D. The man was happy when his wish was granted.
