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.

　　The size and shape (外型) of your eats show your character (性格) more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, but ears do rat change their shape. They only change in size.

　　Reading people's character from their ears is a very old science. In the past people thought that a person with big ears had a good character. They thought that a person with small ears in nearly white color was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed if a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical.

　　Ears are all different, and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-size, or small. Look at the lobes(耳垂). Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry suddenly. Ears that are always cold and in nearly white colour mean that a person has a nervous (神经质的) character.
