| When some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. They often happen near the mountains.

Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and make maps that show the "earthquake belts". In areas (地区) in these belts, it"s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we should build strong houses to fight against earthquakes.

| Entering a university is an important part of a person"s life. Today, many people go to study and train for a future job in subjects like law, medicine or education. But the university is not a modem invention. It has a history that is over a thousand years. The world"s oldest university, AL-Azhar, is in Cario, Egypt. It was first built as a mosque for religion (宗院) in A.D.972. A few years later, learners and teachers began meeting in the mosque. They read and talked about the subject of law. Around 988, leaders in the city of Cario decided to open up a school for higher learning and the University of AL-Azhar was founded. At AL-Azhar, there were many university "firsts". Different subjects were set up. The earliest ones taught at AL-Azhar were in law and religion. In a course, students read and studied with the teacher, but there was, also free discussion. Often, students and teachers talked about a topic, and there was no "right" answer. Finally, famous teachers from around the world came to AL-Azhar to teach and do deep studies on the subjects they were interested in. At the university, people studied the past, but it was also a place for exchanging new ideas. Over a thousand years later, AL-Azhar is still an important university in the world. Its library keeps more than 250,000 of the world"s oldest and most valuable books.Today, many of the world"s most important universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the traditions started at AL-Azhar. |

| Asia is home to more than half of the world"s population and three of the four most crowded countries are in Asia. China, India, and Indonesia alone have more than 2.5 billion people. Until recently, most Asian nations fell behind the western countries in many fields. Government reform(改革), however, has led to important progress in each of these Asian countries. Across the area, education systems have been improved and economies (经济) have been growing. Most Asian countries now have a system of compulsory (义务的) education. Many countries have recently allowed private universities to be built, which was not allowed before. There are more chances for students to go to university now. However, in Asia, there are still not enough chances for students to get higher education and many people prefer to go abroad for further study. As a result, India, China, South Korea, Japan and other Asian countries send thousands of students to study in the United States and Europe each year. Part of the people in Asian countries can speak English, and English has become the most important language for business across the area. The percentage (百分比) is the largest in Japan, Singapore, the Philippines, SriLanka and South Korea. Many people in China, India and Malaysia can also speak English.
