Scientists look at the faults for changes which might show that an earthquake was about to occur. But it will probably

8、be many years before we can predict earthquakes correctly. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.However, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water

9、was put into a layer of rocks 4,000 metres below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection (注射) of water, there was a small number of earthquakes.

Security is a feeling of certainty that everything is OK and that all your basic needs will be provided for. On the surface theres nothing wrong with that. Its great to feel

17、 secure. Abraham Maslow lists it as one of the basic human needs. If we dont feel secure, we cant move onto higher levels like love and achievement.

18、ble to start a new business while completely broke?

21、ith far worse starting positions pass them by. Why?The reason isnt that some people need security more than others. I think everyone needs to feel secure.

25、y they achieve it.BThe way they understand it.CThe degree to which they feel it.DThe degree to which they need it.答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，那些成功的冒险者借助内部来定义安全感，而普通人借助外部来定义安全感。这也是这两类人在安全感方面最大的区别，因此B项正确。.阅读填句Most of us lead a busy life. _1_ We think, “If I reached my goal, then I would be happy.” or “If I
