Earthquake
How does an earthquake start？
What makes an earthquake happen？ The rock of the earth’s crust （地壳） may have a fault’， a kind of break in the surface. The blocks which make up the earth move， and sometimes this may cause the sides of the fault to move up and down or lengthways （纵向地） against each other. When one piece of rock starts to rub on another with great force， a lot of energy is used. This energy is changed into vibrations （振动） and it is these vibrations that we reef as an earthquake. The vibrations can travel thousands of kilometers and so an earthquake in Turkey may be felt in Greece.
What to do during an earthquake？
At school
As soon as the earthquake starts， students should get under the desks immediately and wait until the teacher tells them it is safe to come out. The teacher should， at the same time， go immediately to the teacher’s desk， get underneath （在……下面） it and stay there till the danger is over. Students must not argue with the teacher or question instructions.
As soon as the tremors （震动） stop， all students should walk towards the exit and go straight to the school playground or any open space such as a square or a park. They must wait there until the teacher tells them it is safe to go.
At home
If you are at home when the earthquake occurs， get immediately under the table in the living room or kitchen. Choose the biggest and strongest table you can find. You must not go anywhere near the window and don’t go out onto the balcony （阳台）。 Once the tremors have stopped， you can come out from under the table but you must leave the building straight away. You should walk down the stairs and should not use the lift - there may be a power cut as a result of the earthquake and you could find yourself trapped inside the lift for hours.
In the street
If you are in the street when the earthquake takes place， do not stand near buildings， fences or walls —— move away as quickly as possible arid try to find a large open space to wait in. Standing under trees could also be dangerous.

19 Students should go to the school playground or an open space once the tremors stop.

20 If you are at home when an earthquake occurs， stand near a big table
A.Right
B.Wrong

21 The best way to leave the building during an earthquake is to get into a lift

The Science of Sport
1 At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens， the Chinese athlete Liu Xiang equaled the
world record for the 110 metres hurdles （跨栏） when he ran the race in 12.91 seconds. This record time had been set in 1993 by British sprinter （短跑运动员） Colin Jackson and 9 years went by before another athlete was able to run as fast.
2 Record-breaking in all track events is slowing down and we appear to be moving much closer to the limits of human performance. Nevertheless， every four years， records which were previously thought to be unbeatable are broken. So what’s behind this never-ending improvement in performance？ And how long can we keep breaking records？ Is there a limit to human performance or will athletes continue to gain seconds？
3 Most experts agree that it isn’t the athletes’ bodies which have changed but the huge advances in sport science which have enabled them to improve their performances. The individual athlete obviously has to have the necessary skill and determination to succeed， but the help of science and technology can be significant. Research has brought a better understanding of the athlete’s body and mind but the advances in sports equipment technology have also had an important impact on human performance.
4 Scientists have shown that an athlete’s body’s needs vary according to the type of sport. This research has helped top sports people to adapt their training programme and diet better to their particular needs. Running the marathon and cycling， for example， are endurance （耐力） sports and require a different parathion （硝苯硫磷脂） to that of a 100-metre sprinter. In some sports， changes in techniques have significantly improved performance.
5 But in any sport， a player’s success or failure results from a combination of both physical and mental abilities. Most coaches use psychological techniques to help their athletes cope with stress and concentrate on their performance. For example， the English football team listens to music in the changing rooms before a game to help the players relax and not feel so nervous. Before a difficult match， tennis players are encouraged to use visualization （相象） techniques to build confidence and this is almost as good as practice.
6 But as science， begins to dominate sport， are we in danger of losing sight of the heart of the competition， the sporting challenge？ What’s more， are all these advantages fair？

Recycling Around the World
Recycling is one of the best environmental success stories of the late 20th century. But we could do more. People must not see recycling .as fashionable， but essential.
The Japanese are very good at recycling because they live in a crowded country.
They do not have much space. They do not want to share their limited space with rubbish. But even so， Tokyo area alone is estimated to have three million tons of leftover rubbish at present.
In 1996， the United States recycled and composted （制成肥料）57 million tons of waste （27% of the nation’s solid waste）。 This is 57 million tons of waste which did not go into landfills and incinerators （焚化炉）。 In doing this， 7，000 rubbish collection programmes and recycling centres helped the authorities.
In Rockford， a city in Illinois， US， its officials choose one house each week and check its garbage （废物）。 If the garbage does not contain any newspapers or aluminium （铝） cans， then the resident of the house gets a prize of at least $1，000.
In Japan， certain cities give children weekly supplies of tissue paper and toilet paper in exchange for a weekly collection of newspapers.
