  As scientists learn more about the causes of earthquakes, they become better able to predict them.First of all, they know that quakes are   1   to occur in areas where the tectonic(地壳构造的)plates push   2   each other.They   3   these areas closely, using different instruments.They   4   the vibrations(震动)of the earth with seismographs(地震仪), which   5   on rolls of paper all movements, both large and small.Scientists usually use the Richter scale(里氏震级),   6   after a famous seismologist, for these measurements.When an earthquake measures over 4.5 on the Richter scale, it is   7   enough to cause damage.Scientists have determined that a(an)  8   is not likely to have a large   9   when many small quakes have been   10  .When the small quakes stop, then pressure   11   and a strong quake is more likely.

  There are several other   12   to predict earthquakes.Scientists can measure the tiny   13   in the tilt(倾斜)of the land that happen before earthquakes occur.Increases in the amount of radon(氡), a substance found in deep   14  , as well as a high level of water in the wells, can also   15   that an earthquake is likely to occur.In addition, scientists have found that some animals, like dogs, behave   16   before an earthquake:they become   17   and howl(嚎叫).

  Seismologists have   18   predicted several earthquakes, such as the earthquake which occurred in Zhangjiakou, China in 1998.  19  , not all earthquakes are predictable, and a system for predicting is not yet   20

  “Long time no see”is a very interesting sentence.When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed.I thought it was a perfect   1   of Chinglish.

  Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a   2   English grammar and structure!Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American   3  .I was too thrilled(震惊的)to believe her.Her words could not   4   me at all.So I did a   5   on google.com.To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages   6  “Long time no see”.This sentence has been   7   used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible place.Though it is   8   informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily.  9  , if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the   10   will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
