7、An earthquake hit Kashmir on Oct. 8, 2005. It took some 75,000 lives,   1  130,000 and left nearly 3.5 million without food, jobs or homes.  2  overnight, scores of tent villages went up across the   3  with the help of international aid   4  , military personnel（人员）and aid groups working day and night to shelter the survivors before winter set  5  .

Mercifully, the season was mild. But with the  6  of spring, the survivors will be moved again. Camps that  7  health care, food and shelter for 150,000 survivors have begun to close as they were   8  intended to be permanent.

For most of the survivors, the thought of going back brings  9  emotions. The past six months have been difficult. Families of   10  many as 10 people have had to shelter in a single   11  and share cook stoves and bathing  12  with neighbors. “They are looking forward to the clean water of their rivers,” officials say. “They are   13  of free fresh fruit. They want to get back to their fields and start   14  again.” But most will be returning to   15  but piles of ruins. In many villages, electrical  16  have not been repaired, nor have roads. Aid workers   17  that it will take years to rebuild what the earthquake  18  away. And for the thousands of survivors, the   19  will never be complete.

Yet the survivors have to start somewhere. New homes can  be   20  from the stones, bricks and beams（梁）of old ones. Spring is coming and it is a good time to start again.
