in a factory of a small town. he had been there for twenty years before one day he was sent to the capital for important business. he was quite excited because he had never been there before. before he set off, he asked his wife and three daughters if they wanted him to buy something for them in lon-don. mrs. brown began to think it over and then she said she wished her husband would be able to buy a nice umbrella for her, and so did their three daughters. as he was afraid he would forget it, he drew an umbrella on his hand. to his regret, he lost it at the station.on the train mr. brown sat opposite to an old woman. the womans umbrella was so nice that he carefully looked at it and said to himself not to forget to buy a few umbrellas like it. when the train arrived at the station in london, he said good-bye to the old woman, took his bag and her umbrella and was going to get off.“wait a minute, sir,” shouted the old woman. “thats my umbrella!”now mr. brown noticed that he had taken her umbrella. his face turned red at once and said in a hurry,“oh, im very sorry, madam! i didnt mean it!”seven days later mr. brown left the capital. to his surprise, he met the old woman and

plates travel in different directions and at different speeds. if one plate is slowly forced underneath the other, pressure builds up until the plates break apart. this process causes the ground to move. it is an earthquake. in other words, earth-quakes are the shaking of the earths surface caused by the earths rocky outer layer as a result of the energy stored within the earth. the strain within the rocks is suddenly released (释放). the damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and the time it is happening. if an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property. if it hits a large city, there may be many in-juries and much destruction. many of the areas at risk are largely populated now. major earthquakes hitting those areas today could produce terrible damage. actually, there are several million small earth-quakes every year. large earthquakes such as the 1964 alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on the richter scale, cause millions of dollars in damage. in the last 500 years, millions of people have been killed by earth-quakes around the world including 240,000 in the 1976 tangshan earthquake in china.a 60-second or less earthquake can cause devastation that continues for years after the first tremor (小震). in 1972, a series of severe earthquakes struck managua, nicaragua. fifteen years later, the city still looked the way it had a week after the earthquake hit, because the country did not have the necessary money to rebuild it.the shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. it is in the ensuing fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs. in the 1906 earthquake, it was the fires caused after it that did the majority of the damage. an earthquake can also destroy dams high above a city or valleys, causing floods to sweep down and sweep away everything in their path. 66. which of the following is the main idea of the first paragraph?a. an earthquake comes from inside the earth.b. the earth has great energy in storage.c. how the earth plates move.d. how an earthquake happens.67. how many examples are used in the passage to show the damage and destruction earthquakes cause?a. three. b. four. c. five. d. six.68. which of the following is mentioned to show that an earthquake can kill too many people?a. the 1964 alaskan quake. b. the 1976 tangshan earthquake.c. the 1972 managua earthquake. d. the 1906 earthquake.69. the underlined word “ensuing” in the last paragraph probably means _.a. causing too much heat and great damage b. causing many injuries and much destructionc. happening as a result of another event d. happening suddenly and unexpectedly70. by giving the example in paragraph 4, the author wants to show that _.a. an earthquake doesnt last long b. the damage can last longc. people in managua suffered too much d. nicaragua is still a poor country d when you visit america, you will see the word motel on signs and notice boards. it is made up of “motor” and “hotel” and it is really a hotel for people who arrive by car (how-ever, you dont need a car to stay at one). you have to pay when you arrive for your room, which usually has a bath. meals are not provided, but there will certainly be a cafeteria (自助餐馆). americans eat a lot of salads and sandwiches. along the main roads there are a lot of motels. each tries to offer more than next. some provide television in every bedroom; others have swimming pools; and so on. motels are especially useful when you are in the country, far from a town or city. you will also find them in the big national parks. in these great national parks, you may meet guests you dont expect to see. an american friend told me a little story. in the middle of a moonless night she heard strange noises outside her motel window in the yellowstone national park in wyoming. thinking it might be a thief, she jumped out of bed, opened the door and crept towards a dark shadow(阴影）. as she got close, she saw the thief. she was dreadfully frightened: it wasnt a human thief it was a big black bear. the bear was turning over some empty tins w
