This photograph taken and released on Sep 28, 2018 by Indonesia’s National Agency for Disaster Management shows a house destroyed by a 7.5 magnitude (级) earthquake in the small town Donggala on Sulawesi Island. The quake brought down many buildings while tsunami waves hit into its beachfront. “All the things in my house were shaking and it left a small crack on my wall. Anyway, I survived!” one of the local people Mohammad Fikri said by telephone.
But the biggest killer was probably soil liquefaction (地基液化), which happens when a powerful quake turns the dry ground into a liquid mire (泥沼) and this totally destroyed several neighborhoods.
The official death reports rose to 1,948, and most of them were in Palu, the center of the Sulawesi Island. Bodies are still being dug out and the numbers from less populated areas are increasing but they seem to have suffered fewer deaths than the city. No one knows how many people are missing, especially in the areas hit by liquefaction, but it could be as high as 5,000, the National Disaster Agency said.
At a Palu middle school, fewer than 50 of its 697 students came. School principal Abdul Rashid said at least four students were killed in the quake. “Classes haven’t started. We’re only collecting data to find out how many students are safe,” he said. One boy chatting in the school with friends said he was disappointed that so few of his classmates had shown up. “I’m still waiting for the Ministry of Education to give us instructions on when to begin classes. For now, I don’t think we’re ready. Many children are so frightened that they need time to calm down.”
The government has collected $37 million to help victims of the earthquake. With the efforts of rescue workers and volunteers, the supply of gas and electricity has been recovered. Ruins would be cleared and areas hit by liquefaction would be turned into parks, gymnasiums and other public spaces, a spokesman said.
1.It can be learned from paragraph 1 that ________.
A.the photo is released by Mohammad Fikri
B.no death was reported in the small town
C.the quake damaged many local buildings
D.Donggala is a town located off the Sulawesi island
2.What caused the most damage in the quake?
A.A power failure. B.The cutoff of gas supply.
C.Soil liquefaction. D.The cracks of houses.
3.Which of the following statements about the earthquake is TRUE?
A.Few people in Palu were killed in the quake.
B.People in the countryside suffered more from the hit.
C.Few students showed up because of their disappointment over the school.
D.The government is taking active measures against the disaster.
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To make a brief introduction of the damage caused by the tsunami.
B.To give a detailed news report of the Donggala quake.
C.To stress the importance of the rescue work after the quake.
D.To describe the students’ concern for safety at school.

In this day and age taking a photograph is easier than ever. There are cameras built into our phones, computers, iPods…The way we share photos has also changed. There was a time when you’d print your photos and put them into photo albums, but because of the advance in technology, all in technology, all this has changed.
Not only do we have what seems like an endless amount of space to store photos on our devices, but we also have the Internet, especially social media. Social networks such as Facebook allow us to post our pictures and albums to share friends and family.
While you could argue this easy ability to store, share and enjoy photos is fantastic, it could also be said that photographs have lost some of their meaning. I have over 1000 pictures on my smart phone and several thousand stored on my computer. I love posting my pictures on Facebook. Sometimes, however, I try to ask myself, will I really want to look back at this picture of a coffee or a selfie taken in a bathroom by myself? Probably not.
Even though I’m guilty about sometimes taking meaningless and boring pictures like this, a couple of years ago, I decided to find a way to make my photographs more meaningful. How did I do this? Disposable （一次性）cameras! When I go on a trip, I always try to take a disposable camera. With only 27 pictures you can take, you really think about the photograph straight away. And finally, it’s so much fun to get the pictures developed and look through them again.
I admit that I couldn’t live without social media or taking photographs with my smart phone, but I do think taking photographs has become less meaningful. That’s why I’ll continue using disposable cameras. It’s a great way to make your photographs more meaningful.
1.What’s the purpose of posting pictures on the Internet according to the author?
A. To become famous.
B. To make a living.
C. To show them off.
D. To share with others.
2.How does the author feel about taking so many pictures?
A. Meaningless.　　 B. Fantastic
C. Valuable.　　 D. Helpful.
3.What can we learn about disposable cameras?
A. They are built into our phones.
B. They are cheap and very easy to use.
C. They allow us to take limited pictures.
D. They can help us see photographs immediately.
4.How should we make photographs more meaningful according to the author?
A. By putting pictures into photo albums.
B. By posting pictures on social networks.
C. By looking back at our pictures often.
D. By using disposable cameras to take pictures.
