Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. One of the most serious earthquakes in world history took place in Japan in 1923. The shock and fires caused by it destroyed much of Tokyo and Yokohama and left more than 7000 dead. Other countries do not have many. For examples, there are few earthquakes in Britain, France, Germany.
There is often a great noise during an earthquake, but it is not always. The earth rocks. Houses fall down. Railway lines are broken. Sometimes many people are killed in an earthquake. People think earthquakes often happen near volcanoes(火山), but this is not always true. The centers of some are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is rocking and great waves are caused there. These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings; sometimes they break more buildings than earthquake itself.
What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete(水泥) walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame(框架) will make it even stronger. The frame holds the different parts together and the walls do not easily fall. There is less chance of fire because concrete and steel(钢材) does not burn. This kind of building is the safest. Today modern concrete and steel apartment buildings are commonly seen in cities of Japan.

针挑土（芳菲）
从湘西回来，和朋友们说起黑妮；说起在凤凰的偶遇，说起跟她去苗寨跑了一天，看她做的种种事，感慨得很；说想起一句记不全的俗语，“什么什么像针挑土，什么什么像水推沙”，黑妮就是在针挑土；黑妮！黑妮……
一说起黑妮，脑子里一边浮现她朴素清瘦的样子，不知为什么有隐隐的心疼。凤凰是她的故乡，但和我们这些外人在一起，倒是她有几分害羞腼腆。黑妮如今工作、居住在意大利，做湘西扶贫工作的时间不短了。最初是一帮一地助学，先后帮了几十个孩子。前些年申请到一笔经费，设计了“湘援游”这个项目。如今每年都会回来几趟，带来游人，带来捐款；关键是，耐心地、苦口婆心地，教苗族妇女如何保存她们优美的刺绣艺术。“负责任的旅游”，听黑妮说，这一旅游概念正在欧洲兴起，它强调旅行者对目的地生存和文化的责任，在旅游资费中，捐出一部分作为扶持当地可持续发展的基金。
黑妮就在其中做穿针引线的工作。
她在大山里找出苗族传统文化仍保持良好的村寨，从房屋构造、村寨形态、人伦礼仪……最后落实到妇女们的苗绣——这是可以直接带来经济效益的活计。传统苗绣缤纷五彩，灵动有情，但如今在慢慢地退化、消失，机器绣品在泛滥。黑妮，就要跟她们一遍遍地讲，什么是好，什么是不好，不要跟着外面转，要相信你们的祖母和母亲，看着眼前的山水，怀着美好的心愿，做自己创造性的苗绣。
那天，我们上午去的是老家寨，一路颠簸，开了一个多小时，我已经在揪着心开始晕车了。最后步行20分钟进寨。在山间步行其实是美好的，暖暖的冬阳，弯弯曲曲镶嵌在田野中的蛮石路，清新的空气，收割干净的田野……老家寨的妇女已得知黑妮要来，身着节日服装的她们已经聚集等候，先用快乐的迎客歌在院子里欢迎，然后进屋拿出各自的绣品，等黑妮来评判。
看样子情况不乐观。黑妮没有面露喜色，也没有愠色。她还是那么一字一句、认真地批评她们：“这个不好，一看就是跟机器学的。”“这个线不好，要用棉线。我们这次带了些来。”……
黑妮，你这是在做什么？我站在院子里看着这一幕情景，有点发懵。她从那么远跑来,又跑了这么久的山路,就是想通过几句温和的话塑造她们对美和丑的观念吗?堂屋壁板上贴满各种画片,是这个家的装饰墙,也好似所有外来影响的象征:正中一张有些陈旧的毛主席像,把一个更陈旧的大红双喜字贴去了一大半,左边是海南风光照,右边是明星李小龙的赤身拳照,两个胖娃娃图片,一幅小小的西洋画《泉》。
下午去另一个苗寨，又是近两小时车程。“这一个绣得比较好，就是村寨的形态不如老家寨，建了些新房。”黑妮对一个个目的地都很了解。等到回程，太阳已经有倦容了。
晚上我们在沱江边吉夫开的咖啡馆休息聊天。吉夫是湘援游志愿者，今天一路一直是他提着大包的棉线。黑妮的湘援游，就是靠这些当地的志愿者，不取一毫地付出，才运作起来。今天开车的“李万通”，也有自己的公司。
咖啡馆的壁挂上有一个插页，取下一看，是凤凰手绘地图，封面图案取自传统苗绣，那五彩灵动的喜鹊，我看得呆了一下，原来这样好。地图10元一份，买下可算对湘援游的支持，还可得一枚徽章作奖励。我想了想，红着脸买了四份，说回去送朋友。素静的黑妮眼睛亮了。老天！
这有什么用！我心里说。
有没有用，真不知道，但我忘不掉他们。我查了针挑土的俗语，原来是这样说的：“成家好似针挑土，败家好似水推沙”，“赚钱好似针挑土，花钱好似水推沙”，一下把我的心挑亮了！既然世世代代，要成就一件事都这样难，从来就这样难，那么，以难易成败来衡量黑妮们的行为，有什么意义呢？且写下这一短文，送上对她的祝福吧。
