quake killed more than 900 people in Chile. And few weeks later, a 6.0 magnitude quake struck rural
eastern Turkey, killing at least 57 people.
The earthquakes kept coming hard and fast. 1 It"s not. The problem is what"s happening above
ground, not underground, experts say.
2 They"re rapidly putting up buildings that can"t stand up to earth quakes, scientists believer.
And news reports and better earthquake monitoring make it seem as if earth quakes are increasing all
the time.
On average, there are 134 earthquakes a year that have a magnitude between 6.0 and 6.9. So far this
year there have been 40 earthquakes-more than in most years for that time period. But that"s because the 8.8 quake in Chile caused a large number of strong aftershocks.
Also, it"s not the number of quakes, but their destructive effects that gain attention. The death is largely due to building standards, 3 Paul Earle, a US seismologist, called for better building standards in the
world"s big cities.
Of the 130 cities worldwide with populations of more than I million, more than half are likely to be hit
by earthquakes. 4 "If you have a problem feeding yourself, you"re not really going to worry about
earthquakes," said Paul.
The earthquakes made everyone start to think 5 "People are paying attention to the violent planet
we"re always lived on. Come back an another six moths if there has been no earthquakes, most people
will have forgotten it again," said US disaster researcher Dennis Mileti.

B. More people are moving into big cities.
C. Earthquakes don"t kill people, buildings do.
D. There have been more deaths overt the past decade from earthquakes.
E. Many people began to wonder if something terrible is happening underground.
F. While it seems as if the are more earthquakes occurring, there really aren"t.
G. But developing nations with growing populations don"t pay attention to earthquake preparedness.

Germany will put off "the recently decided extension of the running time of German nuclear plants,
" Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters. "This moratorium (延缓)will run for three months and it will allow for a thorough examination of the safety standards of the county"s 17 nuclear power plants.
The European Union called for a meeting on Tuesday of nuclear safety authorities to assess Europe"s
preparedness.
Germany"s foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, called for a new risk analysis of the country"s nuclear
plants, particularly regarding their cooling systems. He is the leader of the Free Democratic Party, which
strongly supports nuclear power.

nuclear plants by 2021. But Mrs. Merkel"s government changed that decision last year to extend the lives
of the plants by an average of 12 years.

7,500 younger adults, and infected one in six people in the United States since arriving last April, health
officials said on Thursday.
Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said more
than 200,000 Americans had been hospitalized - about the same number who are affected by seasonal
flu in an entire year.
"About 15 percent of the entire country has been infected with H1N1 influenza, or about one in six
people," Frieden told a media briefing.
"That still leaves most people not having been infected and still remaining susceptible to H1N1 influenza,
" he said.
He said supplies of H1N1 vaccine (疫苗) had continued to improve, and some 85 million doses of
the vaccine had been made available for distribution so far, with 12 million more doses added this week.
That is up from 73 million doses a week ago - but still far fewer than had been hoped for by this week.
Even so, Frieden said vaccine supplies had opened up enough that states were beginning to distribute
the vaccine to the general population.
He urged people not to be complacent about (沾沾自喜) getting the vaccine because of reports that
the current wave of H1N1 influenza is decreasing.
"This is still a good window of opportunity to be vaccinated," he said. "Vaccination remains the most
important thing you can do to protect yourself and your family from H1N1 influenza."
He said the seasonal flu season was beginning and it was not clear what would happen with H1N1 or
whether there would be a third wave of the virus in the spring.
"We know that the more people who get vaccinated, the lower the likelihood will be of additional
cases or a third wave," Frieden said.
In a typical year, seasonal influenza kills 36,000 Americans and puts 200,000 into the hospital.
B. One sixth people in the United States were infected by Swine flu.
C. More than 200,000 Americans had been in hospital.
D. The American government had distribute most of the vaccine to the general population.

B. bad luck

B. will be a third wave in the next spring
C. will continue to spread
D. will make more people affected
B. continue to protect themselves and their family from H1N1 influenza though it is decreasing

also help sell more tickets and drive DVD sales, which are a big part of studio revenue. However,

a US citizen $10,000 for breaking Washington"s strict new security (安全) rules.
The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert.
The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.
There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5, 530-mile border between Canada and the US, which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.
As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to
the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs(海关) station in this area is closed
on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate
appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the
customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.
Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces
the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.
Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. "I feel like I"m living in a prison," he said.
B. a Canadian living in a Quebec village
C. a Canadian working in a customs station
D. an American working in a Canadian church

C. worked in St. Pamphile without a pass
D. damaged the gate of the customs office
B. a race across the fields
C. a roundabout way of traveling
D. a journey in the mountain area
B. A Special Border Pass
C. An Unguarded Border
D. An Expensive Church Visit
