　　It is well known of the 　11　of a possible earthquake,and for centuries man has been making researches(研究) on earthquakes.More than 2000 years ago, 　12　,a Chinese scientist named Zhang Heng 　13 a machine which could detect(发觉) earthquakes,and this machine is still 　14　by scientists today to detect and measure the 　15　of earthquakes.Now we know much more about earthquakes and 　16　they happen,but we still 　17　tell exactly when and where an earthquake will happen, 　18 cannot stop it from happening.So earthquakes are 　19　the worst disasters(灾难)in the world.

　　No one can stop 　20　earthquakes.However,scientists can 　21　stop earthquakes destroying whole cities and causing too many deaths.In those 　22　where earthquakes often happen,they 　23　mountain temperatures and take 　24　from the air and if anything starts to happen ,they warn governments to be prepared for 　25　disasters so that emergency(紧急) plans are put into action to lessen(减少) the disaster,probably saving many lives.

　　From Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evening and at weekend, they are 1 to relax or enjoy themselves. Some watch television or go to the movies, 2 go in for sports. It depends on individual interest. There are many different 3 to spend our spare time.

　　Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. It may be 4 from collecting stamps 5 making model airplanes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others don't cost anything 6 . Some collections are worth a lot of money, others are valuable only to their 7 .

　　I know a man 8 has a coin collection worth several million dollars. A short time ago, he bought a 9 fifty-cent piece worth 2, 500 dollars! He was very happy about this and thought the 10 was reasonable. On the other 11 , my youngest brother collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth any money. 12 , to my brother they are extremely valuable. Nothing makes him 13 than to find a new match box for his collection.

　　That's 14 a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is 15 important, but the pleasure it gives us.

She raised the 1 at dinner the other evening and Mr Clark tried to explain. “In some countries,” he said, “children are 2 to do a lot of homework from the moment they 3 school.” They are often obliged to learn their lessons by heart and they are tested 4 day by their teachers. The children learn from 5 the same books and follow a strict state program. It's quite the 6 in England. Teachers seldom make very young children do 7 homework. They rarely get their pupils to 8 their lessons by heart. The teachers themselves are usually free to 9 the books they will use. Some teachers don't use books 10 ! After the age of 11 or 12, of course, children are generally made to do some homework, but 11 very much. From the age of 14 onwards, they usually have quite 12 .

　　As they will be taking important exams, 13 even then, the question of homework is largely 14 own responsibility.

　　Cretel thought English children were very 15 but Sandy and Sue didn't agree, which is hardly surprising.

　　My wife and I spent two weeks in England last year. We went there in the autumn. We think it is the best 1 to visit England. The weather is 2 quite good and there aren't 3 visitors in October.

　　We stayed in a small hotel in the West End. It was convenient 4 we did most of our sightseeing on foot. Taxis were too 5 . We couldn't understand the bus routes, and my wife didn't like traveling on the underground. She said it made her feel 6 in.

　　We went to look at the places that all visitors see. We saw Buckingham Palace, the National Gallery and Piccadilly Circus. We 7 shopping in Oxford Street and spent too much money. What we liked most, 8 , was going to the theater. We don't have the 9 to see such wonderful plays at 10 . A lot of people say English food is very bad. We didn't think 11 . It's 12 that most of the restaurants are French or Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meals.

　　In fact, we enjoyed our holiday 13 much that we have already booked again for this year. We are going to take our 14 , for I am 15 we'll need them sometimes.
