Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world.In September, 1923,Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it.They had to be completely rebuilt.One of the most serious earthquakes was in China's Shaanxi Province in 1556.It killed almost one million people.
We measure an earthquake's strength on the Richter Scale.The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA.It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten.Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.
The Earth's crust(地壳) is made up of rock called plates.As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake.In cities such as Tokyo,where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the plate moves, they move with it.
Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes.This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis.These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea.They can be many meters high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities.China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence (发生)of earthquakes in the world.

It was 3:12 a.m.when nine year old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning.Except for the cracking of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two story house at Baldwin,Long Island.With his father away on night duty at a local factory,Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12 year old brother Todd.He ran downstairs through the smoke filled house to push and pull Karen and Todd until they sat up.Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden.There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing,collapsed on the lawn.
The nine year old boy raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother's room.He found it impossible to wake her up.Mrs.Kreamer, a victim of the smoke,was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden.But the boy remained calm and,as a fireman said later,“acted with all the self control of a trained adult.”
On the bedroom telephone,luckily still working,Glenn called his father and,leaving Mr.Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service,then got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed.Then,with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
He could hear the fire engine coming up,but how would the firemen find his mother in the smokefilled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor
Grasping firmly a ball of string from the garage,Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother's room.Tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back,laying out the string as he went,through the hall and back out into the garden.
Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan,“The string will lead you to Mother.”Mrs.Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.

After an earthquake most survivors can be expected to recover over time, particularly with the support of family and friends.Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly, while others will have to contend with the destruction of their homes,medical problems, and injury to family members.Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their school.
Children often turn to adults for information,comfort and help.Parents should try to remain calm,answer children's questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children's behavior.
Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages, developmental levels and former experiences.Some will respond by withdrawing (不与人交往),while others will have angry outbursts (爆发).Parents should remain sensitive to each child's reactions.Parents should spend time talking to their children, letting them know that it's OK to ask questions and to share their worries.Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks, parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them.They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas.Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again.For young children, parents, after talking about the earth quake,might read a favorite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down.Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them.They could play games outside or read together indoors.Most importantly, be sure to tell them you love them.
