Reading It is always calm before a storm.Zhang Heng (张衡) (78AD—139AD) was an
astronomer, mathematician, artist and literary
scholar（文学学者）in the Eastern Han Dynasty
of China In 132 Zhang Heng invented the first
seismograph(地震仪) for measuring
earthquakes. His device was in the shape of a
cylinder(圆柱体) with eight dragon heads
around the top, each with a ball in its mouth.
Around the bottom were eight frogs, each
directly under a dragon head. When an
earthquake occurred, a ball fell out of the
dragon’s mouth into a frog’s mouth,
making a noise. Is it easy to predict when an earthquake would happen? What do you think will happen
