Question

【题目】 Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei. For three days the water in the village wells(井)rose and fell, rose and fell. In the farm yards, the chickens and even the pigs were too nervous to eat. Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide. Fish jumped out of their pools. At about 3: 00 a m, on July 28, 1976, some people saw bright lights in the sky. The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky. But the one million people of the city, who thought little of these events, were asleep as usual that night.

At 3: 42 a.m. everything began to shake. It seemed as if the world was at an end! One of the greatest earthquakes of the 20th century had begun. It was felt in Beijing, which is more than two hundred kilometers away. One-third of the nation felt it. Thousands of families in Tangshan were killed and many children were left without parents. The number of people who died or got hurt reached more than 400,000.

All hope was not lost. Soon after the earthquake, hundreds of thousands of people were helped. The army organized people to dig out those who were buried (埋葬), Workers built camps for survivors. Fresh water was taken by volunteers to the city. Slowly, the city began to breathe.
