earthquakes in different parts of the world. in september, 1923, tokyo and yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. they had to be completely rebuilt. one of the most serious earthquakes was in chinas shanxi province in 1556. it killed almost one million people.we measure an earthquakes strength on the richter scale. the richter scale was introduced in 1935 in southern california in the usa. it measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.the earths crust(地殼) is made up of rock called plates. as these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. in cities such as tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the earth moves, they move with it.earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes. this can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself. another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis. these are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. they can be many meters high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities, china, japan, russia and the usa have the highest occurrence(發(fā)生) of earthquakes in the world.ban 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. suddenly a crow (烏鴉) landed on their window. the father asked his son, “what is that?” the son replied, “that is a crow.” after a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “what is this?”the son said, “father, i told you just now. its a crow.” after a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “what is this?” this time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, “its a crow, a crow.” after a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, “what is this?” this time his son shouted at his father, “why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? i have told you already, it is a crow. are you not able to understand this?” a minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. on opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. my son asked me 23 times what it was, and i replied him 23 times that it was a crow. i hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. i didnt at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son. if your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. from today say this aloud, “i want to see my parents happy forever. they have cared for me ever since i was a little child. they have always showered me with love. i will take care of my old parents in the best way no matter how they behave.”60the old man brought out the diary, which he had kept since his son

next house. however, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. she thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. he drank it slowly, and then asked, “how much do i owe (欠) you?” “you dont owe me anything,” she replied. “then i thank you from the bottom of my heart.” with these words, howard kelly left that house. years later the woman became badly ill and was finally sent to the hospital in a big city. dr. howard kelly, now famous, was called in. when he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. dressed in his doctors clothes, dr. kelly went into her room and recognized her at once. from that day on, he gave special attention to her, and decided to do his best to save her life. at last the woman was saved. dr. kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. he looked at it and then wrote something on the side. the bill was sent to the womans room. she was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it off. finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. she read

has been close to red-hot lava flows (熔巖流) in hawaii and explosive volcanoes in indonesia. he knows when to get close to an active volcano and when to back away.rampino wasnt always a volcanologist. he worked for nasa for seven years. he studied rocks until he began to research climate change and the effects that volcanoes have on climate. he became interested in the subject. “once i started working with volcanoes,” rampino said, “i was hooked.”rampino is a professor at new york university. as part of his job, he travels to areas where volcanoes have been active. “active” means they have erupted within the past few centuries and probably will erupt again. rampino studies the deposits (沉積物) of ash and other materials from the eruptions. the ash may hold clues to what happened to the earth in the distant past. it may also help scientists predict what could happen to earths climate in the future.rampino doesnt work alone. he works with a team of scientists who use computers to stimulate (模擬) the effects volcanoes have on earths atmosphere.being a volcanologist may be hard work, but its also fun. “its cool traveling the world studying “to understand the events that have
