Earthquakes are the shaking, rolling or sudden shock of the earth’s surface. Earthquakes happen along “fault lines” in the earth’s crust. Earthquakes can be felt over large areas although they usually last less than one minute. Earthquakes cannot be predicted —— although scientists are working on it!
Most of the time, you will notice an earthquake by the gentle shaking of the ground. You may notice hanging plants swaying or objects wobbling on shelves. Sometimes you may hear a low rumbling noise or feel a sharp jolt. A survivor of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco said the sensation was like riding a bicycle down a long flight of stairs.
The intensity(强度)of an earthquake can be measured. One measurement is called the Richter scale. Earthquakes below 4.0 on the Richter scale usually do not cause damage, and earthquakes below 2.0 usually can’t be felt. Earthquakes over 5.0 on the scale can cause damage. A magnitude 6.0 earthquake is considered strong and a magnitude 7.0 is a major earthquake. The Wenchuan Earthquake, which hit Sichuan Province in 2008, was magnitude 7.8.
Earthquakes are sometimes called temblors, quakes, shakers or seismic activity. The most important thing to remember during an earthquake is to DROP, COVER and HOLD ON. So remember to DROP to the floor and get under something for COVER and HOLD ON during the shaking.
1.Which statement about earthquakes is Not correct?
A. Earthquakes are the result of the sudden shock of the earth’s surface.
B. Earthquakes usually can be felt because they can last for a long time.
C. There are usually some signs for people to notice an earthquake.
D. People can feel an earthquake over 6.0 because it is very strong.
2.According to the passage, when the earthquake happened, a survivor of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco_______.
A. was riding a bicycle B. was just climbing the stairs
C. heard a low rumbling noise D. felt like riding a bicycle
3.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Most of the time, people can not feel or predict the earthquakes.
B. Earthquakes are sometimes called temblors, quakes shakers or seismic activity.
C. The Wenchuan Earthquake, which hit Sichuan Province in 2008 caused serious damage.
D. When an earthquake happens, it is important to drop on the floor immediately.

When some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. In fact, earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. They often happen near mountains.
During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack(断裂)open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the 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(带)”. In these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we can build strong houses to fight against earthquakes.
In the future, scientists will be able to predict exactly(精确预报)when and where an earthquake will happen. They can also tell people what to do and how to do it.
1. It is said a large number of earthquakes often happen .
A. next to mountains B. in the day time C. on land D. at night
2. In the future we’ll be no longer so afraid of an earthquake .

The next time your friends roll their eyes when you’re snapping a selfie (自拍照) or taking a photo of your dessert, tell them that photographing everyday things can actually make people happier.
In a study of more than 2,000 people, researchers found that people who took photos of their experiences, whether they were walking through a museum or going on a city bus tour, had a better time overall compared with those who didn’t.
During each of the study’s nine experiments, people were asked to either take photos or give up photography during an everyday activity, such as eating a meal. In nearly every experiment, the group that took photos showed higher levels of enjoyment.
The finding might not sound terribly surprising. After all, Facebook members upload about 2 billion photos daily, and Instagram users upload about 80 million photos every day. But some people argue that taking photographs can distract (分散注意力) themselves from enjoying an experience while it’s happening.
The new research shows that it isn’t the case and that photography does increase a person’s enjoyment, because it increases his or her engagement in the activity. For example, in one experiment, people toured a museum while wearing glasses that tracked their eye movements. The group that took photos spent more time looking at the artifacts than those who didn’t.
However, photos are sometimes a drag. For instance, if the camera is difficult to carry, it might not bring enjoyment to a person. And in some cases, photography can make situations unpleasant. For example, when people in the study took a virtual safari (游猎) and watched some lions attacking a water buffalo, the people who took photos of the bloody event were reported to have a lower enjoyment of the activity than those who didn’t, the researchers said.
1.Why does taking photos increase enjoyment?
A. People can share their photos on Facebook. B. People have more time to look at the objects to be photographed.
C. Some photos may end up as valuable artifacts. D. Photography gets people more involved in the activity.
2.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Photography sometimes can be dangerous.
B. Photography requires more courage to do.
C. Photography is an unpleasant process.
D. Photography isn’t fun all the time.
3.Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the text?
A. Photography helps you appreciate people around you.
B. Snapping a selfie is a symbol of self-confidence.
C. Taking photos doesn’t ruin your experience.
D. The photo-taking process is a mental choice.

A new phone app uses shaking from smartphones to warn people about earthquakes. The new app is called MyShake, which is the work of four researchers at the University of California. Berkeley.
Smartphones are equipped with accelerometers(加速器). MyShake uses phone accelerometers to measure seismic (地震的) activity. It has been programmed to know the difference between normal activity and earthquake movement. The software developers say their app is right 93 percent of the time. A smartphone sends seismic information to the app developers. If the developers receive several warnings from one area, it recognizes that an earthquake may be taking place or will take place soon. Using information sent from the app, the network then judges the location and strength of the quake in real time. MyShake can record 5.0 earthquake at distances of 10 kilometers or less.
MyShake uses very little power, according to its developers. Only when seismic activity is sensed by the app does it become active and sends data to the network. The app works best when your phone is resting on a flat surface, like a table.
The developers hope that MyShake can add to information collected by the U.S Geological Survey. That U.S agency has created the Earthquake Early Warning System, also known as the EEW. The EEW has used sensors for measuring quakes in many areas. In places where no such equipment exists, MyShake may be the only method of early quake detection (发现). The app also shows ways to stay safer during an earthquake. The developers say it will become more effective as more people use it.
The developers say they hope to add a feature that will warn people about possible tsunami after an earthquake.
1.The new app
A.is a kind of accelerometer.
B.feels earthquakes through smartphones.
C.is developed by the U.S Geological Survey.
D.predicts possible tsunami after an earthquake.
2.What is the second paragraph mainly talking about?
A.How MyShake works.
B.What seismic activity is.
C.Why MyShake is developed.
D.When accelerometers record earthquake.
3.We can infer that MyShake
A.docs not work when the spartphone is in the pocket
B.sleeps while there is no shaking of the earth’s surface.
C.guides people how to survive when many people use it at the same time.
D.recognizes an earthquake when it receive the information from other sensors.
4.The new app developers hope to
A.use the information by the U.S Geological Survey to better MyShake.
B.unite the U.S Geological Survey to combine the EEW and MyShake.
C.help the EEW detect earthquakes somewhere.
D.improve the EEW.

The Science of Earthquakes
1.
The surface of the earth is divided into different pieces. These are called tectonic plates (构造板块). When two plates suddenly slip past one another, an earthquake happens. This shakes the ground and everything on it.
What cause earthquakes and where do they happen?
2.They are inner core, outer core, mantle (地幔) and the earth’s crust (地壳). The crust and the top of the mantle make up a think skin on the surface of the planet. But this skin is not all in one piece. It is actually made up of many tectonic plate. They are like puzzle pieces. These pieces are always sliding around and bumping into each other. Sometimes their edges get stuck together. When this happens, the rest of the plate keeps moving. Eventually the edges come unstuck. 3..
Why does the earth shake when there is an earthquake?
Earthquakes send out waves in all directions. When they reach the earth’s surface, they shake the ground. 4.The P wave squeezes and stretches the earth. The S wave shake it up and down.
5.
Scientists use special tools to record and measure earthquakes. These tools are called seismographs. Recordings from seismographs tell scientists when and where an earthquake took place. They can also tell scientists the size of an earthquake.
A. How are earthquakes recorded?
B. That is when an earthquake happens.
C. There are different types of earthquake waves.
D. What is an earthquake?
E. The earth has four main layers (层).
F. Can scientists predict earthquakes?
G. Scientists can tell where an earthquake took place by studying the P and S waves.
