32、wn as “usefulness”. Age sixty is usually considered the dividing line between middle and old age.

39、ds on what area is hit. If an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property. If it hits a large city which is densely populated, there may be serious injuries and destruction.Earthquakes have the power to uproot trees and send them crashing into buildings. They can trigger

40、 landslides and cause flooding and tsunamis. Buildings and structures are also at risk. It is interesting to note that tall buildings will suffer the least damage if they are located directly at the epicenter. This is because they can withstand the up-and-down motion of P-waves. S-waves, on the othe

41、r hand, occur far away from the epicenter, and cause the greatest stress by shaking buildings from side to side. These buildings are often knocked off their foundations.Buildings with thick, heavy walls do not resist shock waves very well. Violent earthquakes often cause structures to collapse, bury

42、ing people underneath. Brick buildings are most vulnerable. The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. It is in the subsequent fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs.Predicting an earthquake until now has almost been technologically impossible. With improvements

43、 in technology, lives have been saved and many more will. All that remains is to tesearch what takes place before, during, and after an earthquake. This has been done for years to the point that a successful earthquake prediction is theoretically possible. However, accurate prediction of earthquake

44、may take more years.地震造成我们的生活，只要有人居住的地球。这些危险行为的地球造成了巨大的损害的人。地震破坏取决于面积中。如果一个无人居住的地区，会有低的生命或财产损失。如果打到一个大的城市，人口稠密，有可能是严重的损伤和破坏。地震的力量将树木连根拔起，把他们撞上建筑物。他们可能引发泥石流，导致洪水和海啸。建筑和结构也有风险。有趣的是，高大建筑物遭受的伤害最小如果他们直接在位于震中。这是因为他们可以承受上下运动的P波。S波，另一方面，发生远离震中，和造成最大应力的摇晃的建筑从一边到另一边。这些建筑往往把他们的基础。建筑物的墙壁厚，重不耐冲击波很好。大地震常引起建筑物倒塌，掩

45、埋了下面的人。砖建筑是最脆弱的。地球晃动有时不是最大的灾难。它是在随后的火灾和水灾，通常最大的损害发生。地震预测到现在几乎已在技术上是不可能的。随着技术的改进，生命得到拯救和许多更多。所有这一切仍然是研究发生了什么之前，期间和之后，地震。这是多年来的一点，一个成功的地震预报理论上是可能的。然而，准确预测地震可能需要更多年。7At the age of 21, Steve Jobs and a friend, Stephen Wozniak, built a personal computer called the Apple.
