In September, 1923，Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. One of the most serious earthquakes was in China's Shaanxi Province in 1556.It killed almost one million people.【出处：21教育名师】 We measure an earthquake's strength on the Richter Scale. The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA. It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious. The Earth's crust(地壳) is made up of rock called plates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such as Tokyo，where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the plate moves, they move with it. Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself. Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis. These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many meters high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities. China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence (发生)of earthquakes in the world. 21．The passage is mainly about ． A．scientists who study earthquakes B．the way of measuring earthquakes C．a usual natural disaster—earthquakes D．what people should do in the earthquake 22．Which of the following statements is NOT true? A．The earthquake in Shaanxi Province happened in 1556. B．The earthquake in Shaanxi Province killed almost one million people. C．The earthquake in Shaanxi Province caused a lot of damage.

But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan，Los Angeles，Turkey—rats will soon be man's new best friends. What happens after an earthquake？We send in rescue dogs. Why？Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives：the rat. How does it work？First，the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal (信号)．This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps，the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.2·1·c·n·j·y Although there are already robots ... ...
