11th. Japan"s Meteorological Agency released its first tsunami warnings just three minutes later. The
country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world. More than 4,000 Seismic
Intensity Meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening.
There are also concrete sea walls around much of the Japanese coastline. But these measures
proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami.
Costas Synolakis is a tsunami expert in the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He
says: "Japan is one of those most well-prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning. They
had a warning. I think what went wrong is that they had not anticipated the size of this event."
He says there are two reasons for this. First, scientists had not expected such a large earthquake.
The 9.0 magnitude earthquake was the 4th most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. It
was also the worst ever to hit Japan. The tsunami waves reached as high as 13 meters in some areas.
Second, Japan"s concrete sea walls were not built to handle such high waves. " In Sendai(仙台),
they were about three meters. At least in that area they were not expecting such a sizeable wave
because they would have built a higher seawall."
A tsunami wave can travel as fast as 800 kilometers per hour. To get to higher ground people would
often have to travel for many kilometers. This can take more time than a fast traveling tsunami will permit.
This is especially true in cases like Japan. The tsunami waves followed almost immediately.
Experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these facts until earthquakes and
tsunamis can be predicted.
B. Japan has the best earthquake early warning system.
C. Japan can report an earthquake before it happens.
D. Better equipment should have been used.
B. Japan has experienced the worst earthquake worldwide
C. the Japanese should have built higher seawalls
D. The Japanese were not really prepared for such a disaster
got to higher ground? B. Because they thought the seawalls were reliable.
C. Because higher ground can"t be reached at all.
D. Because didn"t know there would be a tsunami.
B. Earthquakes and tsunamis will soon be predicted.
C. We have to accept the imperfect systems for the moment.
D. New warning systems will be designed to predict disasters.

with thousands of other hopeful students. Sometimes you get the interview, but don"t quite seem to land
the job because you don"t have related experience. Don"t despair! Here are a few tips that might give
you an edge.
Get connected to your network and try to expand it. Talk to friends, family and acquaintances. Let
everyone know you are looking for a job.
Prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure it"s perfect. Have someone else read it over
for typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. Get professional help. It"s worth the money to present
yourself well. If money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free
help on the Internet.
When you apply for a job, be sure you match and list any skills listed on the posting with the skills
you have. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skills thoroughly. Just having the skills is not
enough. Expressing your abilities well can make all the difference in getting the job.
Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing. Be well prepared for every interview.
Don"t be afraid to accept a position for which you are overqualified-if there"s room for advancements. Many great job advancements come from first doing well at an entrylevel position. If you have the right
skills and attitude, it won"t be long before you"re in the job you want.
Volunteer for a few weeks in your field of study to gain experience if you feel your resume needs an
improvement.
When deciding what to wear for an interview, think about the position level and the dress code of the
organization.
Use every tool available to you. For example, this site has many job links for your use.

of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though,
no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and
healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人).
Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very
important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15yearold boys and girls found that girls" friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to
say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a
friendship.
Boys are the living definition of the phrase "peer group"； they love games with rules, competition,
and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against
others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can
haunt(萦绕心头) a boy for years.
As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy"s life-and a part in which his
parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends.
There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is "always there for me", someone he can
trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run
surprisingly deep.
B. don"t value friendship as much as girls
C. have the same friendship as girls
D. have healthier friendship than girls
B. tends to be in small groups
C. can bear mutual hurt between friends
D. doesn"t suffer from failure
B. most boys consider their friends very important
C. boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls
D. boys may be more active in a friendship
B. shift his focus from his friends to himself
C. leave his parents out of his friendship
D. be confused about what a friendship is
B. Boys and Their Friendship
C. Childhood and Adolescent Friendship
D. Tips on Making Friends with Boys
