Unit 6 The admirable
Writing
写作题目
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Why do earthquakes happen Scientists believe that the surface of the earth is covered by a number of moving plates. Sometimes two plates move towards and push against each other. Sometimes they stop for years but at other times they jump and an earthquake is felt. Because of the movements of these plates , China , California of America and Japan, have a
lot of earthquakes. You can see the result in San Francisco where the Pacific plate meets the North American plate. When the 1906 earthquake happened, the Pacific plate jumped 5 to 6 metres to the north.
China is a country where many earthquakes happen. The Pacific plate is pushing China from the east and the Indian plate is pushing China from. the southwest. The power of this movement created the Himalayas and Mount Qomolangma. It now causes earthquakes in China. We cannot stop earthquakes but we can do things to make sure they do not destroy the whole city. First it is not a good idea to build houses along the line where two plates meet. Second, if you think there may be an earthquake，make sure to build houses on rocks rather than on sands. Third, you must make the houses as strong as possible. Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake, but strong ones may stay up.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
A 7. 1-magnitude quake toppled(使倒塌) houses, cut off power and first-aid materials' supply in northwest China's Qinghai Province on Wednesday while rescuers faced difficulties in searching for the buried.
Rescuers have set up more than 40 tents for survivors in the Gyegu Town, near the epicenter(震中) in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yushu in southern Qinghai. But the effort seems far less than enough for the area inhabited (居住于) by some 100, 000 people.
Many people sought temporary shelters in buildings that remained unaffected by the tremor(轻微地震).
In the yard of Yushu's Sports Committee, nearly 1 ,000 people were sitting or lying on the ground in sheer (完全的) darkness. Some wrapped themselves up with quilts taken out from the debris(残骸). Some brought their own tents and others turned on the lights of motorcycles.
“I'm hungry and thirsty. We've been waiting for help since morning," said ZhaxiToinzhub.
A woman said her three children were still buried in the rubble(瓦砾).
The National Meteorological Station forecast on Wednesday that temperatures may hit minus 3 degrees Celsius at night and 15 degrees Celsius in the daytime in the coming days.
The town will see sunny weather in the coming days, providing favorable conditions for rescue operations.
The town is located in a remote area in Qinghai and the quake and ensuing(随后发生的) landslides have damaged roads, causing great difficulties for rescuers and, especially, machines to enter the region.
“Rescuers had to dig with bare hands or iron sticks on Wednesday, looking forward to the arrival of digging machines,”
said a rescuer surnamed Wang, who was working at a collapsed hostel.
“The searching operation became even harder at night without lighting facilities," he said.
In addition, rescuers may easily get exhausted working at a place with an altitude (海拔)of above 4 ,000 meters.
Thousands of rescuers and medical staff are rushing to Yushu from many regions of China, bringing machines，disaster-relief materials and medicines to the quake-hit town. The government， organizations, enterprises and individuals are offering donations of money and materials to the region.
