Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates(极块). For example, at San Francisco the Pacific（太平洋的） Plate which is moving towards the northwest meets the North American Plate. The Pacific Plate is moving very slowly-at 5. 3 centimetres a year. Sometimes these two plates stop and do not move for years. Then suddenly, they jump and an earthquake is felt. As the movement of these plates, West America near the sea has always been a bad place for earthquakes. When the 1906 earthquake happened, the Pacific Plate jumped 5-6 metres to the north.
We cannot stop earthquakes, but we can do things to make sure they don't destroy(毁坏) the whole of cities. First ,it is not a good idea to build houses along the lines, where two of the earth's plates join together. Second, if you think there may be an earthquake, it is better to build houses on rock not on sand. Third, you must make the houses as strong as possible.

| A．the outside of the earth is made of a plate |
| B．the inside of the earth is made of different plates |
| C．the outside of the earth is made of lots of different plates |
| D．the earth is a plate |
An earthquake can be felt ______
| A．when two plates push each other |
| B．when one plate pulls another plate |
| C．when one plate jumps over another plate |

Have you been asked for money by some disabled beggars (乞丐) while you’re enjoying shopping? Do you have any pity on them who are so poor and lonely or do you just feel afraid of their terrible shapes? As one of the most special groups, disabled people’s living conditions — not only their material (物质的) conditions, but their mental (精神的) world — really need improvement.
The treatment for disabled people should go like this: First, don’t look down upon them. Don’t be afraid of looking at the terrible shapes of the disabled. Try to treat them equally. Because they are a part of the society ,we can’t discard (抛弃) them. The second is to help them as much as we could. If you can be a volunteer and do some work for the disabled people, that would be very nice. That does help not only to the disabled people but also to yourself because you will feel good after your kind action.
