A big earthquake happened in Japan a few months ago. It was a 9.0 on the Richter scale(里氏).It caused a tsunami(海啸) and a nuclear leak(核泄露).Thousands of people died and millions of Japanese lost their homes.
However, the disaster didn’t cause panic(恐慌) among Japanese people. When the earthquake happened, people left dangerous places in an orderly way. After the shock, they waited in line for food and water. There was no robbing or stampeding(惊逃).
The Japanese are ready for an earthquake at any time. Almost every family has a survival kit(救生包),which has a flashlight, a radio, water and enough food for several days. It can keep people alive after an earthquake.
Many earthquakes happen in China, too. Are you ready for too next earthquake?
When an earthquake happens, protect yourself first. The life is the most important because where there is a life there is hope. Don’t go back to get your money or computers. When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks(余震) may still happen. Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground.
We should always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
The earthquake in March,2011 in Japan caused a tsunami and a nuclear leak.
The earthquake made Japanese fear.
Many Japanese people have lost their homes and their lives.
When the earthquake happens, you should go back to get your money.

In Chicago, a computerized system has been developed that controls(管理)traffic on the city’s 235 miles of seven expressways. Now one—a controller—can follow the movement of Chicago’s traffic by looking at a set of lights. The system uses electric sensors(感应器) that are built into each expressway, every half a mile. Several times a second, the computer receives information from each sensor and translates it into green, yellow or red lights on a map in the control room. A green light means traffic is moving forty-five miles an hour, yellow means thirty to forty-five miles an hour, and red means heavy traffic—cars standing still or moving less than thirty miles an hour.
“See that red light near Austin Avenue?”the controller asked a visitor.“That’s a repair truck fixing the road, and the traffic has to go around it.”At the Roosevelt Road entrance to the expressway, the light kept changing from green to red and back to green again.“A lot of trucks get on the expressway there,”the controller explained.“They can’t speed up as fast as cars.”The sensors show immediately where an accident or a stopped car is blocking the traffic, and a truck is sent by radio to clear the road. The system has lowered the number of accidents by 18 percent. There are now 1.4 deaths on Chicago’s expressway for each one hundred million miles traveled, while in other parts of the county there are 2.6.
Traffic experts say that the Chicago system is the “coming thing”.Systems like Chicago’s are already in use on some expressways in Los Angeles and Houston.“Chicago has taken the lead,”said New York City’s traffic director and he added,“Chicago’s a good example.”

Gordon Williams’s hobby may seem strange to people when they meet it for the first time. But it is a traditional craft(手艺).He builds model ships inside old bottles.
Gordon has always loved ships, especially sailing ships from the old days. His interest in this hobby began many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa, Canada, where there was a display of model ships in bottles. Gordon thought the display was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out.
He found an old master craftsman who was willing to teach him the necessary skills. First, Gordon takes an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty(一层油灰),carefully shaped and painted it look like the sea. Next he builds the ship. To get the ship through the neck of the bottle, Gordon holds down the masts(桅杆).Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts.
Gordon has completed well over one hundred models. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging, as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His hobby certainly needs time, patience and a steady hand.
