We can’t stop an earthquake (地震), but we can do things to make sure they don’t destroy (毁坏) whole cities. First, it is not a    66    idea to build houses along lines where    67   of the earth’s plates (板块) join together. Second, if you think there    68    be an earthquake, it is better to build houses on rocks, not on    69   . Third, you must make the houses as    70    as possible. Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake, but strong ones may    71    up. Scientists are    72     that one day an even bigger earthquake will hit the part around San Francisco (旧金山) . They call it “The Big One”. However, people today are still building more    73   . The population in and around San Francisco is    74     ten times more than it was in 1906. This means that    75    there is another earthquake, a great many houses and buildings will be destroyed.

Weddings (婚礼) are important in every country, and there are different wedding customs in different countries. In western countries the bride’s (新娘的) dress---her wedding dress---is very important. Some brides wear a new dress.       61___             

Some people believe the bride should wear something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.       62       She may borrow something to wear from a friend---that will be something borrowed, and the ring on her finger may have a blue jewel in it or some of her clothes may be blue.

      63       They wear the ring on the fourth finger of their left hands.

At the wedding, as soon as the man and the woman are married, their friends often throw rice or very small pieces of paper over them.      64       The bride often carries flowers, and after the wedding she throws them up in the air. People believe that the woman who catches the flowers is lucky enough. The bride and groom (新郎), their friends and family then have a party. After that the bride and the groom go on holiday together.

A sweater label may tell you to wash by washing in cold water. The label on a coat may say "dry clean only." Washing may ruin (损坏) this coat. If you do as the directions (说明) say on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best. Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed.

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset (日出) over the ocean so that the audiences (观众) could see his hero (男主角) and heroine (女主角) in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew (摄制组) out one evening to film the sunset for him.

The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”

“No, sir.” the men answered.

The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.

“Well, sir,” one of the men answered. “We’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise (日落) over the sea if necessary, but not a sunset.”

“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”

“But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.”

The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay (海湾). Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir!” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased. They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained. “Now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them.”

The “sunset” began, but after fifteen minutes, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop. The birds in the film were flying backwards and the waves (波浪) on the sea were going away from the beach.
