Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. When some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. They often happen near the mountains, too.
During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack (断裂) open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed.
Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and make maps that show the “earthquake belts”. In areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we should build strong houses to fight against earthquakes.
In the future, scientists will be able to tell when and where an earthquake will be before they happen. They can also tell people what to do and how to do it.
1. The reason for an earthquake is .
A. that there are so many plates on the earth
B. that the sea is too deep
C. rocks’ cracking open
2. A lot of earthquakes often happens .
A. in the area B. next to mountains C. at night
3. A map showing the earthquake belts will tell people .
A. what kind of houses to build
B. what kind of houses can stay up in an earthquake
C. where earthquake may happen
4. Which is Not True according to the passage?
A. During an earthquake people are killed or hurt.
B. The scientists can tell when and where an earthquake is now.
C. we should build strong houses to fight against earthquakes.
5. In the future, we’ll be no longer so afraid of earthquakes .
A. with the help of scientists’ exact prediction
B. because of a map showing the “earthquake belts”
C. because we can guess the date and place of earthquakes

Earthquake Safety Tips
On May 12, 2008, a big earthquake hit Wenchuan, Sichuan Province. Thousands of people died and many more were injured. Why are there earthquakes?
Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth．The surface of the earth has many plate pieces(板块). These plates are always moving. When two plates move past each other, there is an earthquake. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. They often happen near the mountains，too．
Scientist are working hard to find out more about earthquakes. They try to predict (预测) them, but it’s very hard.
Do you know how to get ready for an earthquake? Do you know what to do during an earthquake? Here are some tips you should follow.
What to do before an earthquake
Keep a supply of food,water and some things for first aid. You should make sure you have two bottles of water, a packet of biscuits (饼干), a clean towel (毛巾), a few band-aids (创口贴), a radio and a flashlight (电筒) at home.
What to do during an earthquake
If you are inside:
★ Stay where you are. Quickly move under a strong desk, or along a wall. This will protect you from falling things.
★ Don’t stand near windows.
★ Turn off your gas, lights and water.
★ Don’t get into a lift during an earthquake. If your are in a lift, get out as quickly as possible.
If you are outside:
★ Don’t stand near buildings. Things may fall on you.
★ Lie on the ground until the shaking stops.
★ If you are in a car, slow down and drive to a clear place. Stay in the car until the shaking stops.
48. The reason why an earthquake happens is that ________.
A. the surface of the earth is thin
B. the plates of the surface are moving slowly
C. two pieces of the earth’s surface move past each other
D. there are too many people on the earth
49. During an earthquake, you should do the following except _________.
A. turn off the lights and gas
B. hide under a strong desk
C. make sure you have some food and water.
D. get into a lift
50. You must protect yourself in an earthquake by ________.
A. keeping yourself away from falling things
B. lying on the floor of the room until the shaking stops.
C. standing near the window
D. running out of the building
