A
When an earthquake hit a small town，many houses fell down.After the earthquake，all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.
One Sunday，when I was reading a newspaper，a special picture touched me.It gave the clothing sizes of each family member.I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves.I said to my seven-year-old twins，Brad and Brett，and three-year-old Meghan，“We have so much，and these poor people now have nothing.We'll share what we have with them.”
I filled a box with foods and clothes.While I was doing this，I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things.Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together.Then she walked away.A few minutes later，she came back with Lucy，her much-loved doll.She put the doll on top of the other toys.“Oh，dear，”I said.“You don't have to give Lucy.You love her so much.”Meghan said，“Lucy makes me happy，Mummy.Maybe she'll make another little girl happy，too.”
I looked at Meghan for a long moment.She taught me a lesson.It's easy to give something that we don't want any more，but hard to give what we cherish(珍爱)，isn't it?

Buildings crashed to the ground in seconds.Thousands of people lost their lives in a flash.Since they were told an earthquake would hit Tokyo around September 16，Japanese people haven't been able to get these thoughts out of their minds.
They heard the news from Yoshio Kushida，a researcher who used radio waves to predict that an earthquake would strike with a magnitude(量级) of at least seven.“It would be terrible not to warn people of a possible disaster in case a quake actually occurs.”he said.
His warning had a big effect.Frightened Tokyo people have been stocking up on water，food and candles in preparation for the terrible day.
But Kushida hasn't had much support from the experts.At present，predicting earthquakes is thought to be impossible.No one can tell exactly where or when the next major earthquake will occur.An earthquake begins tens of miles below the earth's surface：it's too faraway to see.
Ancient Chinese and Italian scientists forecast earthquakes by special“earthquake clouds”．They found that a week before an earthquake，there were often strange clouds—shaped like snakes，waves or feathers—in the sky.They thought the clouds might come from a gas produced underground by an earthquake.
People also used to watch animals to see if earthquakes were coming.When they saw birds fly away suddenly，dogs barking violently or fish jumping out of the water，they told people to leave the area.Some scientists believed animals had a sharper sense of changes taking place underground.
But the ancient methods were not reliable enough.Nowadays，scientists use special instruments to predict earthquakes more precisely(精确地)．
Satellite systems are very useful：they record small changes in the earth's magnetic fields(磁场)which help show where and when an earthquake may strike.
【语篇解读】 要准确地预测地震很难，但从古至今人们都尝试用不同手段对地震进行预测。

B．Great disasters would happen if people are not warned of before an earthquake. C．Predicting earthquakes is completely impossible at present science level. D．According to ancient people，before an earthquake we can see strange clouds anywhere.
