　　Unit 4　Earthquakes 【单元导航】 Moved by mother’s great love pport her body.That was something like an ancient who was kowtowing. The rescuers confirmed her death by touching her through the gaps of ruins.They shouted at the ruins again and again，knocked the bricks using the crowbar 铁棍 ，but no response inside. Then the rescuing team went to next building，suddenly the leader ran back，calling “come here”.He came to the body，stretched his hands under the woman，feeling and touching，then shouted loudly “there is someone，a baby，still living”. Through some efforts，rescuers cleaned up the ruins carefully which blocked her.Under her body lay her baby，who was wrapped in a small red quilt with yellow flowers scattered in red.He was about 3 or 4 months’ old.Since well protected by mother’s body，he was totally safe.He was sleeping on both ears when the rescuer carried him out，and his lovely and peaceful face warmed everyone around him.The doctor along with the rescuing team unfastened the quilt to check if the baby was all right，and he found there was a mobile phone filled in the quilt.The doctor looked at the screen subliminally，a written message was already there: “My dear baby，if you could live，don’t forget how much I love you”.As a doctor，he experienced too much of parting forever；but at this moment，he wept.The mobile was passed，every person who saw this message shaded tears.Section One　Warming Up and Reading Ⅰ.Lead-in 1.Who can remember what happened in Yushu，in Qinghai Province in the year 2010?A terrible earthquake broke out there on April 14th.More than 2,200 people were killed. 2.Do you know any other natural disasters tornadoes；typhoons/hurricanes；volcano eruption；drought；floods；etc. 3.Can you tell some famous land earthquakes 1 Pakistan Earthquake：On October 8th,2005，a terrible earthquake which measured 7.6 on the Richter scale happened in Pakistan，Afghanistan and India.And Pakistan was the most serious-affected country，in which 38,000 people died,62,000 people injured
