Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds.At about3:00am on July28,1976,some people saw bright lights in the sky.The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky.In the city,the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst.But the one million people of the city,who thought little of these events,were asleep as usual that night.At3:42am everything began to shake.It seemed as if the world was at an end!Eleven kilometres directly below the city the greatest earthquake of the20th century had begun.It was felt in Beijing,which is one hundred kilometres away.One-third of the nation felt it.A huge crack that was eight kilometres long and thirty metres wide cut across houses,roads and canals. Steam burst from holes in the ground.Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt.In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins.The suffering of the people was extreme.Two-thirds of them died or were injured.Thousands of families were killed a nd many children were left without parents.The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than400,000. But how could the survivors believe it was natural?Everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed.All of thecity's hospitals,75%of its factories and buildings and90%of its homes were gone.Bricks covered the ground like red autumnleaves.No wind,however,could blow them away.Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for travelling.The railway tracks were now useless pieces of steel.Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again. Half a million pigs and millions of chickens were dead.50People were shocked.Then,later that afternoon,another big quake which was almost as strong as the first one shook Tangshan.Some of the rescue workers and doctors were trapped under the ruins.More buildings fell down.Water,food,and electricity were hard to get.People began to wonder how long the disaster would last.All hope was not lost.Soon after the quakes,the army sent150,000soldiers to Tangshan to help the rescue workers. Hundreds of thousands of people were helped.The army organized teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the dead.To the north of the city,most of the10,000miners were rescued from the coal mines there.Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed.Fresh water was taken to the city by train,truck and plane.Slowly,the city began to breathe again.单词：Book1Unit4earthquake/'ə:θkweik/n.地震quake/kweik/n.地震right away立刻；马上well/wel/n.井△crack/kræk/n.裂缝；噼啪声vt.&vi.（使）开裂；破裂△smelly/'smeli/adj.发臭的；有臭味的△farmyard/'fɑ:mjɑ:d/n.农场；农家pipe/paip/n.管；导管burst/bə:st/vi.(burst,burst)爆裂；爆发n.突然破裂；爆发million/'miljən/n.百万event/i'vent/n.事件；大事as if仿佛；好像at an end结束；终结nation/'neiʃən/n.民族；国家；国民canal/kə'næl/n.运河；水道steam/sti:m/n.蒸汽；水汽dirt/də:t/n.污垢；泥土ruin/'ru:in/n.废墟；毁灭vt.毁灭；使破产in ruins严重受损；破败不堪suffering/'sʌfəriŋ/n.苦难；痛苦extreme/ik'stri:m/adj.极度的injure/'indʒə/vt.损害；伤害△survivor/sə'vaivə/n.幸存者；生还者；残存物destroy/di'strɔi/vt.破坏；毁坏；消灭brick/brik/n.砖；砖块dam/dæm/n.水坝；堰堤track/træk/n.轨道；足迹；痕迹useless/'ju:slis/adj.无用的；无效的；无益的shock/ʃɔk/vt.&vi.（使）震惊；震动n.休克；打击；震惊rescue/'reskju:/n.&vt.援救；营救trap/træp/vt.使陷入困境n.陷阱；困境electricity/ilek'trisəti/n.电；电流；电学disaster/di'zɑ:stə/n.灾难；灾祸dig out掘出；发现bury/'beri/vt.埋葬；掩埋；隐藏mine/main/n.矿；矿山；矿井miner/main/n.矿工shelter/'ʃeltə/n.掩蔽；掩蔽处；避身处a(great)number of许多；大量的title/'taitl/n.标题；头衔；资格reporter/ri'pɔ:tə/n.记者bar/bɑ:/n.条；棒；条状物damage/'dæmidʒ/n.&vt.损失；损害frighten/'fraitən/vt.使惊吓；吓唬frightened/'fraitnd/adj.受惊的；受恐吓的frightening/'fraitəniŋ/adj.令人恐惧的congratulation/kənɡrætʃu'leiʃən/n.祝贺；（复数）贺词judge/dʒʌdʒ/n.裁判员；法官vt.断定；判断；判决sincerely/sin'siəli/adv.真诚地；真挚地express/ik'spres/vt.表示；表达n.快车；速递outline/'autlain/n.要点；大纲；轮廓headline/'hedlain/n.报刊的大字标题cyclist/'saiklist/n.骑自行车的人。
