下面的材料从四个方面对二胡作了介绍，请筛选信息，保留各方面的主要内容，压缩成一段文字，不超过60个字。

　 二胡是中国的一种很奇妙的乐器，是胡琴的一种，比京胡大，也叫南胡。二胡的构造很简单：由一根长约80厘米的细细的木制琴杆、内外两根琴弦、琴杆下端的蒙着蟒皮或蛇皮的琴筒构成，琴筒呈茶杯形，用木或竹制成，蟒皮或蛇皮是制作二胡的重要材料；用马尾做的琴弓演奏，这与小提琴同样用马尾做琴弓是一样的。二胡声音低沉圆润，听起来略带忧伤，常用来表达比较深沉的情感。二胡产生的历史悠久，又比较容易学习，因此是深受中华民族喜爱的乐器，是中国民间普及率比较高的乐器。

解析：首先利用公式，确定主干句。二胡是一种乐器，“乐器”就是“二胡”的属性。根据题干“从四个方面对二胡作了介绍”，可以提炼出“二胡”的另外三个特征：①二胡的构造。②演出的材料及效果。③深受中华民族喜爱。然后嵌入公式，组成连贯的语句表达出来。

The Haitian tsunami gave scientists a chance to find out how well vital and potentially life-saving warning systems were working.

　 Noaa’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory has developed a warning system that picks up signals of tsunamis directly from the sea-floor.

　 It is called Dart-the-Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis. If seismometers(地震仪) detect an earthquake, the Dart buoys（浮标） will determine what is happening to sea levels, and whether a big wave might be on the way. This information is then sent via satellite to a central location which can organize an alarm. Within 50 minutes of the Haiti earthquake, this system was able to issue an alarm to other countries in the Caribbean to say that a small tsunami had been caused to start, and that was unlikely to affect them.

　 Dr Bernard said, “The first 30 minutes following the earthquake, we have to rely on education.” The critical aspects of this are: do you feel the earthquake; do you see the ocean draw down; and do you hear that loud roar? If so, you should run for higher ground.

　 “But after the first few minutes, it’s crucial that we have the technology—the measurements to avoid unnecessary evacuation(疏散撤离) and tell people when it is safe to return.” Right now, there are 50 of these Dart buoys all over the globe—four of which are in the Caribbean.

Dr Bernard says that, with 75 to 100 buoys worldwide, this system could provide global tsunami warnings within one hour.

“That’s for everywhere we know that tsunamis have happened. If we wanted to go to half an hour detection, we could probably double or multiply by four times that number,” he said.

　 “In some countries, including Haiti, there may not be enough resources to support a specific tsunami warning centre for something that happens so infrequently.”

　 He said that this system was relatively inexpensive to fix and operate.

　 “To get it down to an hour for everywhere affected would cost $50m initial investment and then 10% of that to maintain it,” he said.

　 “That’s not a terribly expensive system considering the potential savings of lives.”
