| The U.S. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the 1 of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas of map where earthquakes are 2 likely to break out are called earthquake "belts". The government is working hard to help 3 the answer to these two questions: 1. Can we foretell earthquakes? 2. Can we control earthquakes? To answer the first question, scientists are looking very 4 at the most active fault systems in the country, 5 the San Andress fault in California. A fault is a break between two sections of the earth's 6 . These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes happen. Scientists look at the faults 7 changes which might show that an earthquake was 8 to happen. But it will probably be many years 9 we can foretell earthquakes accurately (精确地). And the control of earthquake is even 10 away. Nevertheless, there have been some interesting 11 in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting 12 the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4,000 meters below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have 13 that the water that was injected into the rocks worked like oil 14 each other. When the water "oiled" the fault, it became slippery and the 15 of an earthquake was released (释放). Scientists are still 16 at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a 17 between the injection of the water and the earthquake 18 . They have supposed that it 19 be possible to inject some 20 of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes. | ||||

| That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (抢劫犯). Very few people were still out. except a few sad-looking homeless people unier blankets. About a block from my apartment (公寓房间), I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more, and I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the rioise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other. |
