因为有“挖出（dig out）”，而且后面“ bury the dead ”，因此可知trapped 表示“受困的” 。
What do you think helped in the revival of Tangshan city according to the text and what lessons can we learn from it
Possible answer:
The strong support from the government and the tireless efforts of the city's people greatly helped the rebuilding of Tangshan. Many hands make light work. Without the help of the whole country, Tangshan could not have been back to life so fast. When facing disasters, people must stand together and stay positive. Besides, we must do something to decrease or even prevent the damage that earthquakes bring to people.
Discuss
Work in group and discuss the question.

Brainstorm
Put together a presentation using the information you have gathered. Use the tips below to help you.
1. Start your presentation with a “hook” (a story or fact to catch the attention of your listeners).
2. Reduce your ideas to three main points to help listeners remember what you say.
3. Prepare visual aids for your presentation (photos, charts, tables, etc.).
Organize
Work in groups of three and everyone plays a part.
Part 1: “Hook” (Wenchuan earthquake and its damage)
Part 2: Safety instructions when meeting an earthquake.
Part 3. Prepare pictures or charts.
Work together
A possible version:
On 12 May, 2008, an 8.0-magnitude earthquake happened in Wenchuan which killed over 80,000 people and left many more injured, turning many towns and counties into ruins. At the moment, numerous children lost their parents and became orphans, hundreds of families were broken, and all the people there felt helpless and frightened.
Fortunately, lots of rescue workers rushed to the area and worked around the clock, and meanwhile supplies were being sent there from all directions. With the help from all Chinese people and even abroad, some victims finally survived, and their homes have also been rebuilt. Wenchuan city has proved to China and the rest of the world that in face of disaster, people must unify and never give up.
It has been more than ten years since the earthquake happened, but we’ll never forget its disastrous damage and sorrow and sadness. There is no way to prevent earthquakes. But if we prepare, we can keep them from becoming disasters. If you find yourself in danger from an earthquake, first of all, remember to “drop, cover, and hold on”. Drop down onto your hands and knees, cover your head with your hands, and stay away from glass, windows, or anything that could fall. You could find cover under a desk or table. Hold on to the desk or table so it doesn’t move away from you. Second, if you are outside when quakes happen, you should go to an open space away from buildings, trees, or power lines. If you are trapped, you can use a cell phone to call or text for help. You can also tap on a pipe or a wall, or whistle for help. Then you are more likely to be found. Do get your family and friends to be familiar with the self-help knowledge.
Give a group presentation to your class.

Polish your presentation and enrich it with pictures, charts, tables, etc.

Retell the story according to the key words.
strange things the water in the village wells deep cracks and a smelly gas the chickens and pigs too nervous to eat 1/3 of the nation
In 15 terrible seconds 400,000 Tens of thousands of cows and hundreds of thousands of pigs come to an end

Retell
Think and talk
Explain in your own words what the writer means by the title "The night the earth didn't sleep". In pairs suggest another title for the text. (Put the idea on the board and the class can then vote for the one they like best )
"The night the earth didn't sleep" is a poetic way of saying that an earthquake happened.
Another title might be "Tangshan's great challenge" or " How Tangshan's citizens overcame the city's great disaster".
标题既要具有高度概括性又要具备新颖性，才能吸引读者注意力，“地球不眠之夜”作者用拟人的手法更加生动的概述了地震之夜。
I. Read the sentence "It seemed as if the world was at an end." Was the world really at an end Think what purpose does it serve to exaggerate here
Of course not. It is used to show us that the earthquake then was so serious that the next minute the world would be totally destroyed. This is an example of simile.
eg.
When the dam broke, it looked as if the sea had arrived suddenly on our doorstep.
When the coal mines fell, the ground above looked as if it would crack.
Watch and think
II. Work in plete the sentence with "as if " and then choose the best to read to the class.
·When the houses fell down, it was as if ___________________________________________________.
·When the bricks covered the ground, they looked as if ______________________________________________.
·When the nation turned to help us in our need, it seemed as if ______________________________________________.
Watch and think
When the houses fell down, it was as if stones were flowing like water.
When the bricks covered the ground, they looked as if they were driven by an unseen sea.
When the nation turned to help us in our need, it seemed as if all China was thinking of us and was coming to our aid.
Watch and think
II. Work in plete the sentence with "as if " and then choose the best to read to the class.
1.Eleven kilometers directly below the city, one of the most deadly earthquakes of the 20th century had begun, a quake that even caused damage more than 150 kilometers away in Beijing.
One of the most deadly earthquakes of the 20th century had begun eleven kilometers directly below the city. The quake caused such great damage that Beijing 150 kilometers away was affected.
Paraphrase
Watch and try to explain the sentences in your own words.
2.Tangshan city has proved to China and the rest of the world that in times of disaster, people must unify and show the wisdom and stay positive and rebuild for a brighter future.
A new Tangshan has been built. It tells the world that in face of disasters, only by standing together can people overcome the difficulties. We must also learn to stay positive and be determined to rebuild for a brighter future.
Paraphrase
Paraphrase
Tangshan earthquake was terribly destructive to people and property. Yet a closer reading will reveal that natural signs which might have given more people a chance to survive were ignored. Work in group discuss the following questions:
Discuss
1. Can you think of some reasons why these warming signs were not noticed
2. Could you think of any measure that can be done to prevent or decrease the effect of the earthquake
1. First of all people in Tangshan knew little about the signs of an earthquake. Secondly, they had not been prepared for what to do if and when such an earthquake occurred.
2. First, people should have a good knowledge of earthquakes, including the signs before an earthquake, how to protect oneself while in quakes and how to save oneself after quakes. Second, construction of houses should be improve especially in places where an earthquake is likely to happen. Third, better ways about predicting an earthquake should be improved.
