Earthquake Happens
幸存者目及之处无一不是废墟,万物尽毁。市内大约75%的工厂和大楼、90%的住房和所有的医院都倒塌了。砖块就像秋天的红叶覆盖着地面,但是却没有风能将其吹走。大多数桥梁不是塌坍了,就是无法安全通行了;铁轨变成了废金属块;数万头奶牛、数十万头猪和数百万只鸡也都死掉了。沙子灌满水井,井水消失殆尽。
沙子灌满水井,井水消失殆尽。人们惊恐万状,然而临近傍晚时分,又一次强烈的地震撼动唐山。更多的楼房倒塌了,没有水和食物,电也停了。人们心里开始疑惑这场灾难还会持续多久.
Scientists explain that there are a number of different ________(plate) outside the earth. Some of them are moving very ______ (slow) towards each other. __________, when some plates suddenly jump at a fast speed, two plates will form collision(碰撞). Therefore, an earthquake __________(happen). Some unlucky places _________ sit along the plate boundary(边界), such as San Francisco, Tangshan, have a lot of earthquakes.

然而,希望尚存。地震发生后不久,部队派出了15万名士兵奔赴唐山,将受困群众从废墟中抢救出来,并掩埋了死者。上万名医疗工作者赶到现场,救死扶伤。
工人们为那些家园被毁的幸存者盖起了避难所,数十万的群众获得了帮助,火车、卡车和飞机给城市运来了食物和饮用水。慢慢地,这座地方又开始恢复了生机。
唐山重新站起来并获得了新生。有了来自政府的大力支持以及唐山人民的不懈努力,一座新的唐山在废墟中被建立起来。这座新的城市已经成为700多万人的家园,交通、工业和环境都得到了巨大的改善。
唐山向中国、向世界证明,在自然灾害中,人们必须齐心协力,保持积极乐观的心态和重建家园的决心。
