Then there’s the destruction on the ground. In recent years, 6 the weather becoming severe across California, seasonal high winds have caused wildfires 7 (grow) and spread at an alarming rate. California wildfires burned more than 4 million acres in 2020, 8 (make) it the biggest fire season in state history. The Camp Fire in 2018 destroyed 9 average of one football field worth of land every three seconds and killed 68 people.
And it’s not just California. Oregon, Washington and Colorado have also seen explosive fires destroy homes, take away 10 (life), and force thousands to leave.

In early 2022, the Ministry of Water Resources in China planned to invest 800 billion yuan building water management projects during the year. But the country 1 (see) the funds reach 823 billion yuan by the end of September.
Last year, the large-scale development played a significant role in ensuring stable home fund 2 promoting employment. Over 2.5 million workers 3 (employ) in the development, including almost 2.1 million people from rural China. People also noted the 4 (remark) growth in funds it raised for water management projects. Almost 1.16 trillion yuan was collected across the country last year, 44 percent more than 2021. Over 203.6 billion yuan was raised 5 government bonds, roughly 1.5 times that of the previous year. Over 37.9 billion yuan was invested 6 (expand) and renovate 529 medium and large-scale irrigated areas in 2022. Thanks to the 7 (invest), over 10,000 kilometers of irrigation channels were built or renovated.
During the rare drought in the Yangtze River Basin last year, the complete systems in many of those irrigated areas functioned 8 (efficient) in reducing the impacts of the drought and reducing losses. Such irrigated areas guaranteed water supply to 11.3 million hectares of farmland in 9 (strike) regions. Despite the drought, the basin saw 10 good harvest of grain.

A strong earthquake made Joseph Cadeau wake up from sleep on Saturday. Cadeau, a teenage boy, 1 (immediate) got up and ran out of his home in Les Cayes, a city in Haiti. On the way out, Cadeau was knocked out by rubble (碎石). Moments later, Cadeau moved out of the house with great 2 (difficult). Unable to walk, Cadeau lay down in the street.
Cadeau was one of at least 12,268 people 3 were injured during the earthquake. It struck Haiti’s southwest region around 8:30 am on Saturday, 4 (claim) at least 2,207 lives, according to Haiti’s Civil Protection agency.
Cadeau managed to get out of the rubble 5 his own. He was not sure how long he had lain in the street until he 6 (rush) to a health facility eventually by 7 stranger. When Cadeau reached the health facility, he had to wait since there were not 8 (sufficiency) health workers to take care of so many injured people. While he was waiting, Cadeau’s foot began swelling (肿胀).
“I received treatment too late, which is why my foot is swollen like that,” said the teenager, pointing at 9 (he) swollen foot. “Fortunately, I survived and have a chance 10 (rebuild) my hometown and give back to the society.”

Scientists are utilizing (利用) new technology that allows them 1 (study) millions of small earthquakes in the hope 2 being able to predict (预测) the next big one.
The study comes out of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. It shows how advancing computer technology is now able to read 10 times the number of earthquakes previously 3 (record), as local expert Patrick Abbott explained.
“We 4 (know) since the 1800s that earthquakes come in swarms (群) — you get smaller ones, and a lot of aftershocks as well; but we have never been able to tell the difference between a foreshock 5 a big shock until afterwards,” explained Abbott. “You start with: here is the shaking from one earthquake, here is the shaking from another one, and try to sort 6 (they) all out and it turns out there is almost 7 (exact) 10 times as many earthquakes as we had thought.” The new technology showed some small earthquakes 8 had never been picked up before; like a magnitude (震级) of negative 2.0. Those earthquakes are considered invisible (看不见的) but by 9 (see) them collectively now, scientists can see where those happened before a 4.0 magnitude quake.
He said the study does not solve the problem of predicting earthquakes, but seeing when smaller ones are shaking gives 10 (researcher) a better shot at predicting a bigger one.

The main structure of the Datengxia water resources management facility in Southwest China has been completed four months ahead 1 schedule, the Ministry of Water Resources said on Saturday.
The project, 2 is located in the Xijiang River, has eight power generation 3 (unit), each with an installed capacity of 200,000 kilowatts (千瓦). It can 4 (annual) generate more than 6 billion kilowatt hours of electricity.
In cooperation with other reservoirs (水库), the project can help Wuzhou, a city with 5 population of over 2.8 million in Guangxi, deal with once-in-a-hundred-year floods. Previously, the city was only able to hold floods that occur once every 50 years. The project also enables some cities in the Pearl River Delta 6 (resist) floods that happen once every two centuries.
The ministry said the Datengxia facility will also provide strong support for rural development, offering irrigation (灌溉) water to 80,000 hectares of farmland and 7 (address) drinking water shortage for almost 1.4 million people in Guangxi.
The project has already played 8 (significance) roles in the past three years when it was put into trial operation. For example, in June last year, it helped prevent 9 store about 700 million cubic meters of floodwater when the Xijiang River 10 (hit) by a flood. In the peak, it reduced water flow by 3,500 cubic meters per second.
