A lot of earthquakes happen in the world ever...

A lot of earthquakes happen in the world every year. Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists tell us the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates(板块). The plates move very slowly. Sometimes they stop and don’t move for a long time. When some of the earth’s plates move suddenly, an earthquake happens.

Many earthquakes happen under the sea. Sometimes they happen near mountains. In fact, earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even break open. Houses fall. People are killed or hurt. Sometimes whole villages or cities are destroyed.

Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show “earthquake belts”. In the areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we can make houses strong enough to stand against earthquakes.

In the future, scientists will be able to predict(预言) exactly when and where an earthquake will happen. They can tell us what to do and how to do it as well.

It seems that every day we read about at least one of these (earthquakes, floods and hurricanes) somewhere in the world.　 1.It's something much smaller and not so well­known as an earthquake—it's an insect called the locust.

The locust usually does things alone. It lives on its own and eats on its own.2. When the number of locusts increases somewhere and there are lots of plants to eat, the locusts get together in swarms.

3.It is found in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia—in about 60 countries altogether. When desert locusts swarm, they bring problems to one­tenth of all the humans in the world.

4.A swarm of desert locusts can be 1,200 km2 in size. And there can be 50 million locusts in each square kilometer. Each locust eats its own weight in plants every day—so a swarm of desert locusts can eat more than 150 million kilos of food in one day. They can also fly very long distances.5.

Farmers fear the desert locust because it destroys the harvest and brings hunger to people all over the world.

C.But, sometimes, something changes the way nature works.

D.But every year, somewhere, another kind of disaster causes great damage to plants and people.

E.In 1954, a swarm of locusts from northwest Africa flew thousands of miles to finally land in Great Britain!

Why do earthquakes happen？Scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates(板块)．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 centimeters a year. Sometimes these two plates stop and do not move for years. Then suddenly，they jump and an earthquake is felt. As a result of 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 meters to the north.

We cannot stop earthquakes，but we can do things to make sure they don't destroy(毁坏)the whole 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. Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake，but strong ones may stay up.

1.An earthquake can be felt ______．

A. when two plates push each other　　 B. when one plate becomes a bad place

C. when one plate meets the sea　　 D. when two plates don't move for years

2.An earthquake shook San Francisco in the past because ________．

A. San Francisco stands along between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate

B. San Francisco stands near the Pacific

C. the plate of San Francisco always moves slowly

D. the city of San Francisco wasn't built very well

3.What can we do to make sure earthquakes don't destroy the whole cities?

①Build houses far from the earthquake lines.

②Build houses on rock not on sand.

③Make the houses as strong as possible.

④Stop weak earthquakes.

A. ①②③　　 B. ②③④　　 C. ①③④　　 D. ①②③④

4.Where can we find the passage?

A. In a history book.　　 B. In a science book.

C. In a tour guide for America.　　 D. In a safety guide for common people.

Every year on 15th October, over 200 million people around the world take part in Global Handwashing Day. But why do we have a day for something we do all the time? Well, research shows that not enough people often wash their hands with soap. Experts believe that this leads to the deaths of millions of people every year.

Sidibe, a public health expert says soap is ‘the most beautiful invention in public health’. Washing your hands with soap can have a huge impact on reducing(减少) the spread of diseases. Handwashing with soap prevents babies from getting ill and keeps children healthy and in school.

However, washing hands with soap does not happen as often as you might think. This is partly because there aren't enough resources(资源) in poorer countries, but it's also because for many people, handwashing is simply not part of their everyday life. It's not easy to get people to change habits they learned in early childhood—but this is what Global Handwashing Day wants to do.

In 2008, the Indian cricket team joined around 100 million Indian schoolchildren in washing their hands to promote(促进) the first ever Global Handwashing Day. Every_year_since_then,_many_different_events_have_been_held_around_the_world. In 2014, Global Handwashing Day was used in the fight against Ebola, a very serious disease, with events held in affected(受感染的) African countries.

Today, local and national leaders continue to use the day to spread the message about the importance of clean hands. The hope is that handwashing becomes a necessary part of people's lives and improves the health of millions around the world.

Do you know there is an earthquake every thirty seconds in the world? But don’t worry because most of them are so small that they cannot be felt. Only a few hurt people. Many earthquakes happen in China ,too. Are you ready for the next earthquake? We have some advice for you on how to keep safe in an earthquake. When the 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 other things.

If you are at home, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows because anything may fall on you.

If you are outdoors, try to move away from buildings and streetlights. They may fall on you. If you are in a shop and far from the door, don’t run outside. Everyone will run outside so that people may hurt each other. Hide under a desk. Don’t get into a lift during an earthquake.

If you are in a moving car, drive to the side of the road, stop as quickly as possible, and stay in the car. Do not try to drive across bridges. It’s dangerous.

When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks(余震) may still happen. They are just as dangerous as the earthquakes , so stay under the desk until you think it is really safe for getting out.

Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground.

Remember, these tips are very important. We should always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
