　　Some countries,such as Japan,have a large number of earth quakes.Earthquakes happen very 　1　and violently(强烈地).During an earthquake,there is often a great 　2　first.Then the earth 　3　terribly,many houses 　4　,railway tracks break and trains run 　5 lines,a great many factories are 　6　,thousands of deaths are caused,and many more lose homes… 　7　the great damage and deaths caused by the earthquake 　8　,other disasters such as fires often 　9　,more buildings destroyed and more 　10　caused.

　　It is well known of the 　11　of a possible earthquake,and for centuries man has been making researches(研究) on earthquakes.More than 2000 years ago, 　12　,a Chinese scientist named Zhang Heng 　13 a machine which could detect(发觉) earthquakes,and this machine is still 　14　by scientists today to detect and measure the 　15　of earthquakes.Now we know much more about earthquakes and 　16　they happen,but we still 　17　tell exactly when and where an earthquake will happen, 　18 cannot stop it from happening.So earthquakes are 　19　the worst disasters(灾难)in the world.

　　No one can stop 　20　earthquakes.However,scientists can 　21　stop earthquakes destroying whole cities and causing too many deaths.In those 　22　where earthquakes often happen,they 　23　mountain temperatures and take 　24　from the air and if anything starts to happen ,they warn governments to be prepared for 　25　disasters so that emergency(紧急) plans are put into action to lessen(减少) the disaster,probably saving many lives.

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the 　36 was he found himself unable to ask for help-his mobile phone went out of 　37 as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to

38 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 39 of the rescue.

　 It is almost 　40 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 41 : “First of all I checked up my 　42 conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no 　43 to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 44 . In this way I dozed (打盹) off.”

His story put an end to my regret for the 　45 of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men 　46 to explore a mountain cave and got lost.

47 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 　48 . Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the 　49　

people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the

50 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 　51

themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering (闪烁) not far away.
