新视野三 United 6 Although scientists still cannot predict earthquakes, they are learning a great deal about how the large plates in the Earths crust move, the stresses between plates, how earthquakes work, and the general probability that a given place will have an earthquake. Someday soon it may actually become possible to predict earthquakes with accuracy However, even if prediction becomes possible, people who live in areas where earthquakes are a common occurrence will still have to do their best to prevent disasters by building structures that are resistant to ground movement and by being personally prepared. These precautions can make a great difference in saving lives and preventing the loss of homes.

In fact, he has several receptionists. He probably needs one just to arrange his travel plans and visas to foreign countries. 的确，如果说盖茨的风格与他人有别的话，那就是他把握时间的技能。 节约时间、精力充沛和专心致志是他的突出特点。 他一会儿充当技术时代的国际代言人，一会儿在微软总部谋划经营策略，充分利用每一分钟，最大限度的开展工作。 他总是准时，总是处于高速运转状态，他习惯利用白天的点滴空闲进餐、与朋友交谈或娱乐。 微软人笑话他的接待员是天底下最勤奋
