The sun was shining when I got on No.151 Bus. We passengers sat jammed together in heavy clothes. No one spoke. That’s one of the  36  rules, which we take for granted(对…不予重视). 37  we see the same faces every day, we prefer to  38  behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their   39   .

   As the bus came near the Mile, a   40     suddenly rang out “ 41   ! This is your driver speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your papers down. All of you.” The  42     came down. “Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go   __43     .”

   Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an older woman, her head wrapped in a red scarf(围巾).I saw her   44     every day. Our eyes met .We waited for the next   45    from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning neighbor!”

   Our voice were   46    .For many of us, these were the   47      words we had spoken that day. But we said them together, like   48    , to the strangers beside us. We couldn’t help 49     .There was the feeling of relief, that we were not being held up(抢劫). But more, there was the sense of ice being   50     . “Good morning, neighbor.” It was not so   51      after all. Some of us repeated it, others shook hands, many laughed. The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t   52     to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a warm sound I had never heard before in   53     .

   When I reached my stop, I said   54       to my seatmate, and then jumped off the bus. That day was   55       off better than most.

The Danish capital is a year-round destination.Here are some of the city’s best annual events.

Roskilde Festival(July)

The Danes love the outdoors and they love rock music;the Roskilde Festival is where they combine these passions for a weekend of drunken celebration.The four-day event is held about 30 minutes from the city completely,which means you can either go in for the full festival experience,or you can travel from the city to the festival each day.

There are also day tickets if you don’t have the power for the whole collection of facts.

Kulturnatt en(October)

For something a little more high brow there’s the Night of Culture.For one night only some 300 venues in the city stage theater performances,art exhibitions,concerts and poetry readings.

Father Christmas Congress(July)

One of the more bizarre fixtures in Copenhagen’s calendar,the event is held in July—the slow season for Santas—at the Bakken amusement park,some 20 minutes north of the city.The most interesting of the event is a procession of Santas from all over the world along Strget.Parents should be prepared for some embarrassed questions from the kids.

Tivoli Gardens(November/December)

These pleasure gardens make for a great day out any time of the year but to see them at their most attractive,visit from mid-November through December,when they are transformed into a fairy tale of lanterns and Christmas markets.There’s also outdoor skating,a Christmas entertainment and the very Danish‘Nissekbing’village,home to more than 100 mechanical fairies.

TIJUANA, Mexico – A powerful earthquake swayed (摇动) buildings from Los Angeles to Tijuana, killing two people in Mexico, blacking out cities and forcing the evacuation (疏散) of hospitals and nursing homes. One California city closed off its downtown due to unstable buildings.

The 7.2-magnitude quake centered just south of the US border near Mexicali was one of the strongest earthquakes to hit the region in decades.

"It sounds like it's felt by at least 20 million people," USGS seismologist Lucy Jones said. "Most of Southern California felt this earthquake."

Sunday afternoon's earthquake hit hardest in Mexicali, a commerce center along Mexico's border with California, where authorities said the quake was followed by at least 20 smaller aftershocks, including ones of magnitudes 5.1, 4.5 and 4.3.

"It has not stopped trembling in Mexicali," said Baja California state Civil Protection Director Alfredo Escobedo on Monday.

Escobedo said one man was killed when his home collapsed just outside of Mexicali and another died when he rushed into the street in panic and was struck by a car. At least 100 people were injured in the city, most of them struck by falling objects. Power was out in virtually the entire city.

Susan Warmbier was putting away groceries in the San Diego suburb of Chula Vista when her husband asked, "Is the house moving?"

Elsewhere in San Diego, there were reports of shattered windows, broken pipes and water main breaks in private buildings, but no reports of injuries, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque said. Coronado Bridge over San Diego Bay was briefly closed as a precaution.

Across the border in Tijuana, Mexico, the quake caused buildings to sway and knocked out power in some areas. No tsunami warning was issued, but hundreds of people on Tijuana's crowded beach feared the worst and fled when they felt the ground shake.
