A 7.0 magnitude(级)earthquake killed more than 230,000 people in Haiti.Then an 8.8 magnitude quake killed more than 900 people in Chile.And few weeks later, a 6.0 magnitude quake struck rural eastern Turkey, killing at least 57 people.
The earthquakes kept coming hard and fast. 小题1: It’s not.The problem is what’s happening above ground, not underground, experts say.
小题2: They’re rapidly putting up buildings that can’t stand up to earth quakes, scientists believe.
And news reports and better earthquake monitoring make it seem as if earth quakes are increasing all the time.
On average, there are 134 earthquakes a year that have a magnitude between 6.0 and 6.9.So far this year there have been 40 earthquakes—more than in most years for that time period.But that’s because the 8.8 quake in Chile caused a large number of strong aftershocks.
Also, it’s not the number of quakes, but their destructive effects that gain attention.The death is largely due to building standards, 小题3: Paul Earle, a US seismologist, called for better building standards in the world’s big cities.
Of the 130 cities worldwide with populations of more than I million, more than half are likely to be hit by earthquakes. 小题4: “If you have a problem feeding yourself, you’re not really going to worry about earthquakes,” said Paul.
The earthquakes made everyone start to think 小题5: “People are paying attention to the violent planet we’re always living on.Come back an another six months if there has been no earthquakes, most people will have forgotten it again,” said US disaster researcher Dennis Mileti.
A.But it won’t last. |
B.More people are moving into big cities. |
C.Earthquakes don’t kill people, buildings do. |
D.There have been more deaths overt the past decade from earthquakes. |
F.While it seems as if the are more earthquakes occurring, there really aren’t.

举一反三
As a child grows out of being an infant(婴儿)and begins to notice and react to the world around them, you may find yourself wondering how you possibly pass all of the things that they need to become a responsible, respectful adult. 小题1: A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others in kind, but learns to respect himself as well.
Instructions
★1 Show your child respect. This is perhaps the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child by giving her your full attention and she will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in relationships.
★2 小题2: The more you say "please" and "thank you" to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them with you and others. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.
★3 Agree to disagree.小题3: Explain your decision so that she will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you aren’t equal to disobedience.
★4 Control your impulse to overreact. When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness, keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior. 小题4:
★5 Praise, praise, praise! So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that the accomplishments are not celebrated enough. 小题5:
A.Teach manners by using polite requests and responses. |
B.Try to remember that a child won’t always agree with you. |
C.Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life. |
D.If he sees you lose your temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future. |
F.When you see you child exhibit respectful behavior, make sure he knows just how proud you are of him.
G.Signs such as sudden poor performance in school, behaviors like fears and threats accompany behavior problems in children.

As a boy grown up in India,I had longed to traveling abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father told me about her stay in Canada and trips to Europe in1970s. My big moment finally come in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my father was to attend for a meeting. The service during the flight to Frankfurt was such nice that even today I can still remember them. The flight was really smooth and thorough enjoyable,even someone as me, who is otherwise scared of flying.

Interviewing someone for a job is not as easy as it looks. First, as the interviewer, you"re tasked with finding the person who will not only do the job well but also fit in well with the other employees.
You have to make an evaluation of abstract qualities that can"t be found on a résumé. Because you have to repeat the process for every potential employee, you end up asking question after question, applicant after applicant.
Still, interviewers need to be told something,“What is your biggest weakness?” is not a good question. It just isn"t.
Now, job seekers have to understand that interviewers want to find some way to know what makes an applicant different from others. Asking questions that are seemingly impossible to answer is one way to see who can think creatively. Then what may be a proper way to respond to such a question?
Honesty, with a twist(新手法)
“‘What are your three strengths and three weaknesses?’ is a classic, but not too many people know how to answer this,” says Kenneth C. Wisnefski, founder and CEO of WebiMax, an online marketing company.
“As an interviewer, we want to hear strengths that describe initiative(主动性), motivation and dedication. The best way to respond is to include these qualities into specific ‘personal statements’.”
“Similarly, weaknesses should be positioned as a strength that can benefit the employer.”
“I like to hear applicants state an exaggerated strength, and put an interesting twist on it. An example of this is, ‘My initiative is so strong, that sometimes I take on too many projects at a time.’”
This answer leads with a strength that employers want—initiative—and still acknowledges that you"re not perfect.
Although you might consider this acknowledgement too honest, it works because it proves you"re being honest.
Honesty, with progress
When you consider what your weaknesses are, think about how you have attempted to overcome them. No one is perfect, so pretending that you are a perfectionist will come across as insincere.
Debra Davenport, author of “Career Shuffle”, believes citing(引用) examples are the best approach.
“My preferred response for this question is to tell the truth without damaging the applicant"s image.” Davenport explains.
“A better response might be, ‘I"ve had some challenges with worklife balance in the past and I realize that a life out of balance isn"t good for me, my family or my employer. I"ve taken the time to learn better time and project management, and I"m also committed to my overall wellness.’”
The answer adds some dimension to the question, and proves you"re thought beyond the answer. You"ve actually changed your behavior to address the situation, even if you haven"t completely overcome the weakness.
Put yourself in the interviewer"s shoes
However you decide to answer, Debra Yergen, author of “Creating Job Security Resource Guide”, recommends job seekers imagine themselves sitting on the other side of the desk.
“If you were doing the hiring, what would you be looking for? What would be your motivation for asking certain questions? Who whould you be trying to weed out? If you can empathize(共鸣) with the interviewer, you can better understand what they want and need, and then frame your qualifications to meet their needs for the position you seek.”
Once you consider what the goal of the question is and figure out what your honest answer is, you"ll be able to give the best possible answer to a tricky question.

A. Take some time to speak English
B. Join an English club
C. Have a mirror on the wall
D. Keep it short and simple
E. Listen to good English speakers
F. Practice with peers or family
Here are some tips to improve your spoken English.
小题1:
Whatever you have learnt or read in a day, practice in front of the mirror. For a start, you can read something from newspapers, English magazines, and books. Take a passage and read it aloud. After you think your accent has improved, try reciting a poem in front of the mirror. This will increase your confidence as well.
小题2:
Talk to your family members and friends in English. You can also organize debates and speeches on a low level, where everyone in your family or friend circle speaks on one topic for a few minutes. It will help you get over the fear of making mistakes, as you will be with your friends and family—your comfort zone.
小题3:
Listen to people who you think are good English speakers. It will help you catch the skill better. You can also watch their videos, listen to them online, or even in person. It can be anyone from Barack Obama to your teacher in school. Find every opportunity to speak English.
小题4:
You will meet people like you there and it will help you realize that you are not the only person who isn’t good at this subject. Also meeting different people will help you overcome your complex. You can also join coaching classes, which will provide you professional help in learning spoken English.
小题5:
Nothing is more beautiful than simplicity. So, instead of using an ambiguous(含糊不清的) language with tough words, go for simple words. Learning any new language is difficult and English is no exception. Start simple and go with the flow. With time, you would learn bigger words too.
