       My hand was bleeding  14  the broken glass．I  15 I had one more chance to start the car．Having played hero．   16  a thousand times in fantasy，I never  17  I would do it．I turned the key．The engine sputtered to life…and died．Then someone jammed a gun into my throat．I remember this thought：”You mean I don’t save the family?”I Was really quite surprised．

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 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 tailing objects．Power was out in virtually the entire city．

       Susan Warmbier was putting away groceries in the Sail 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．

“A survey was conducted in Shanghai where interviewees were asked if they wanted to be a factory worker, One percent of all people interviewed said “YES,” Wang Hongjun, a technician, said, raising his voice for dramatic effect．"But I can tell you, only a small part of that 1 percent are telling the truth．"

       I've met colorful people like Wang all over China．They are cynical （玩世不恭的） yet warmhearted, plain spoken but smart．And many of them are confined （局限于） to work in factories．

       Wang is a top technician but also represents manual factory workers, who "are China's most important natural resource．Their energy is powering China's economic boom, and their muscle is turning the wheel of the world's factory．

       But does their unskilled labor give their life meaning? At school, did they tell their friends: "When I grow up I want to work in a factory making socks?" Did you?

       Factory work has always been a stepping-stone from farm life to the city and a modern life． It's been happening for centuries, but today, with our space-age technology, it's outdated．Earning 1,200 yuan （$169） per month working in a factory is better than that on a farm, but as Wang points out, it's not a dream career．There should be batter ways to earn your rice．

       Many modern factories no longer have production line workers．Robots do the assembly （装配）．People just do the monitoring, hi this age of technology, in which China is now working smarter and riot just harder, why are people still standing in production lines?

       But life is cheap in China．So why not continue to exploit the low-cost labor situation and keep the economy growing fast, some entrepreneurs may ask．

       B．humorous but serious

       C．cynical but warmhearted, plain spoken but smart

       More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus．Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.

       “If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks.”

       And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the mo．t inactive city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, follow．d closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%．

       The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady crease for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year．
