| 阅读理解。 | Sophia Wu, 25, is a young Chinese woman who does business with her family in Santiago, Chile (智
利). On February 27, she experienced a night that she will never forget.
"I was asleep and was woken up by powerful shaking at around 3:30 in the morning. My whole room
was moving and I couldn"t stand still. I wanted to run downstairs and go outside, but suddenly the wall
got broken and the lights in the room went out. The room became so shaky that I couldn"t move at all."
That night an 8.8-magnitude (震级) earthquake hit Chile. Buildings and bridges fell down. Electricity
(电) and water services shut down. The Chilean Red Cross reported that about 500,000 homes were
destroyed and more than 800 people died.
The earthquake has been the fifth strongest since 1900. More than 90 aftershocks (余震) followed the
earthquake. A tsunami (海啸) was set off in the Pacific Ocean by the earthquake.Scientists say that there
are about 500,000 earthquakes in the world each year. Of these, only 20% are felt, and 100 of them
cause damage.
So far, scientists haven"t found a way to predict earthquakes. But you can learn to protect yourself
during an earthquake. The most important thing to remember is to drop, cover and hold on. So remember
to drop to the floor, get under something for cover and hold onto something strong during the shaking. | |

When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. In this
way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I
want to talk to you about Karl"s absences." Before he could say another word I choked up (哽咽) and
said sadly, "I love my son. I"ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked.
It"s out of my hands." For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster
seriously said, "Thank you for your time." and hung up.
Karl"s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. He was even on the list of the
best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, "Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That was me. I thought I"d play a joke but when I heard
what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That"s when I knew I had to make you proud. | | 1. Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word "withdrawn"? | A. Quiet and lonely.

D. would have to hang up | | 4. Who was it that telephoned Karl"s mother that day? | A. The headmaster
