  The country of Chile is struggling to recover from one of the most powerful earthquakes in history.The quake struck the South American nation early Saturday morning.It registered 8.8 on the Richter scale.Ex-perts say the earthquake in Chile is among the five most powerful earthquakes ever recorded.

  The epicenter of the earthquake is about 70 miles north of the city of Concepci6n.The area has been rocked by dozens of aftershocks since the big quake hit on Saturday morning.

  On Sunday, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet updated reports on the toll the earthquake has taken.“It’s an enormous catastrophe,” she said.Countless buildings and roadways have been destroyed or badly damaged.Rescuers continued to work around the clock to find survivors who may be trapped under the rub-ble of fallen buildings.Government officials estimate more than 2 million people have lost their homes.

  Bachelet assured people that food and medical aid were on the way.Ten thousand members of the Chil-ean military have been dispatched to help in the relief and recovery efforts.Many of the country’s major gro-cery stores have started giving away basic food and supplies to people in the affected areas.Secretary-Gener-al of the United Nations spoke to President Bachelet by telephone.He assured her that the United Nations“stands ready to assist the Chilean government’s rescue and recovery efforts ”.

  The earthquake in Chile comes less than two months after the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that Haiti suf-fered in January.Although the earthquake in Chile was more powerful than the one in Haiti,the damage is unlikely to be as severe.Earthquakes are more common in Chile,and many buildings and homes there are constructed to withstand tremors better.Also,the area of Chile most affected by this earthquake is not asheavily populated as Port-au-Prince, where the epicenter of the Haitian quake was located.Furthermore, Chile is one of South America’s richest, best-organized countries.Its government has more supplies and people available to effectively respond to national emergencies.

  The energy released by the quake caused shock waves to roll across the Pacific Ocean in the form of tsu-namis(海啸)that have the potential to do great damage to coastal areas.Some of these waves struck the Chilean coast,causing major damage to seaside towns.Coastal communities in Russia,Japan,and the Unit-ed States were concerned,too,but there were no reports of severe damage from the waves that eventually reached the countries’shores.

(1)

Who is leading the earthquake relief efforts in Chile?

[  ]

A.

The Chilean government and military.

B.

Geologists and other scientists.

C.

The United Nations peacekeeping forces.

D.

Secretary-General of the United Nations.

(2)

The damage from Chile’s earthquake is not expected to be as severe as the damage from Haiti’s quake.Which could not be the reason for it?

[  ]

A.

Chile is one of the richest,best-organized countries in South America.

B.

Chile has constructed many buildings for the people.

C.

Chile knows how to respond to a national emergency.

D.

The epicenter area of the Chile earthquake is less heavily populated than that of the Haiti’s quake.

(3)

One result of the earthquake in Chile was ________.

[  ]

A.

severe storms in Russia and Japan

B.

massive waves in the pacific Ocean

C.

a lack of food supplies in coastal communities

D.

a social confusion across the globe

B.

C.

Children who speak English as their first language are now a minority in inner-city London primary schools,official figures show.
Youngsters with foreign mother tongues form a majority at primary schools in 13 out of33 London cities. Across the country,English is a foreign language to more than one in seven primary school youngsters.
The figures from the Department for Children,Schools and Families (DCSF) point to major demographic (人口的) changes over the past few decades,with around a fifth of pupils now coming from ethnic minorities.
There are concerns that school finances are coming under stress from the growing numbers of youngsters requiring help with English. The government has been urged to provide more funding,and give fair treatment to schools with large concentrations of non-English speakers.
In Tower Hamlets almost four out of five youngsters do not have English as their mother tongue. In other areas,including Leicester,Luton and Bradford the proportion approaches 50 percent.
The figures indicate that many recent migrants have settled in London. Sir Andrew Green,Founder and Chairman of Migration Watch UK,says,“These figures confirm the huge impact immigration is having on our society. When government funds are as tight as they are,this is bound to have a negative impact,since children for whom English is a second language need extra tuition (学费).”He adds,“In inner London it's hard to know with whom immigrant chil­dren are supposed to practice English,since the number of immigrant children is much larger than that of local. ”
A spokesman for DCSF stresses that the figures “only indicate the language to which a child was initially exposed at home,regardless of whether he or she comes to speak English fluently later on. It is only a relatively few recent arrivals for whom communication problems are serious”.“We are increasing funding to the Ethnic Minority Achievement Grant (助学金)to £206 million by 2010,to help bring students weak in English up to speed. We’re also equipping schools to offer effective English as an Additional Language teaching to new arrivals,”he adds
72.A minority of London primary school students speak English as their first language because
      .
A. local children prefer to speak other languages
B. more and more immigrant children are attending school in London
C. children learning English as an additional language need extra tuition
