Sophia Wu, 25, is a young Chinese woman who does business with her family in Santiago, Chile (智利). On February 27, she experienced a night that she will never forget.

　　"I was asleep and was woken up by powerful shaking at around 3:30 in the morning. My whole room was moving and I couldn't stand still. I wanted to run downstairs and go outside, but suddenly the wall got broken and the lights in the room went out. The room became so shaky that I couldn't move at all."

　　That night an 8.8-magnitude (震级) earthquake hit Chile. Buildings and bridges fell down. Electricity (电) and water services shut down. The Chilean Red Cross reported that about 500,000 homes were destroyed and more than 800 people died.

　　The earthquake has been the fifth strongest since 1900. More than 90 aftershocks (余震) followed the earthquake. A tsunami (海啸) was set off in the Pacific Ocean by the earthquake.

　　Scientists say that there are about 500,000 earthquakes in the world each year. Of these, only 20% are felt, and 100 of them cause damage.

　　So far, scientists haven't found a way to predict earthquakes. But you can learn to protect yourself during an earthquake. The most important thing to remember is to drop, cover and hold on. So remember to drop to the floor, get under something for cover and hold onto something strong during the shaking.

A 9.0-magnitude earthquake hit the east coast of Japan on March 11th. The quake was the fifth largest in the world since 1900 and nearly 8,000 times    51    than the one which hit Christchurch (克赖斯特彻奇，新西兰东部城市), New Zealand, last month.

The epicenter(震中) of the earthquake was in the Pacific Ocean, 130 kilometers east of Sendai (仙台，日本东北地区中心城市). The quake was so powerful and    52    the coast that it caused strong tsunamis in northern Japan. Cars, ships and buildings were swept away by    53  

of water. About 2,414 people have been reported    54    and about 20,000 missing. The Japanese government said that the final number of deaths will be    55    higher.

　　Though most parts of the country have not been damaged by the quake, people in many cities are suffering from power cuts    56    four nuclear power plants (核电站) near the earthquake area have been shut down. In the centre of Tokyo, a number of office workers are spending the night in their offices because the lifts have stopped    57   . Millions of people have to stay in the Japanese capital because train services were stopped.

Although there is terrible quake damage and a possible massive nuclear leak (核泄漏), most of the Japanese people in the quake-hit areas remain    58    and cool --- they queue up(排队) for food and water in order and expect their lives to get back on track soon.
