Unit 4 Earthquakes;趣味导读;Earthquake and Quakeproof Some countries, such as Japan, have a large number of earthquakes. Earthquakes happen very quickly and violently. During an earthquake, there is often a great noise first. Then the earth shakes terribly; many houses fall down; railway tracks break and trains run off lines; a great many factories are destroyed; thousands of deaths are caused, and many more lose homes...Besides the great damage and deaths caused by the earthquake itself, other disasters such as fires often follow, more buildings destroyed and more deaths caused.;No one can stop natural earthquakes. However, scientists can help stop earthquakes destroying whole cities and causing too many deaths. In those areas where earthquakes often happen, they record mountain temperatures and take photos from the air and if anything starts to happen, they warn governments to be prepared for possible disasters so that emergency plans are put into action to lessen the disaster, probably saving many lives.;地震与地震预??? 有些国家，例如日本是地震频发国家。地震发生迅猛。在地震发生过程中，往往先有巨大的噪音。随后地面会猛烈晃动，许多房屋倒塌，铁路被毁，火车脱轨，大量工厂被毁，造成成千上万的人死亡，更多数量的人无家可归……除了地震本身带来的巨大损失和人员伤亡外，其他形式的自然灾害，如火灾等也会随之发生。这些次生灾害会造成更多的房屋被毁及人员伤亡。;没有人能阻止地震的发生。然而科学家们却能帮助我们阻止地震毁坏整个城市，并防止造成太多的人员伤亡。在那些地震高发地区，他们记录山上的气温、并从空中拍摄图片，如发现异常，他们便通知政府部门做好准备，政府也会制定出应急措施以减轻灾难，这样可能会挽救许多的生命。 ;单元导航;;;;Section Ⅰ　 Warming up, Pre-reading, ReadingComprehending ;课文译读;A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDNT SLEEP Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei. For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell, rose and fell. Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep cracks in them. A smelly gas came out of the cracks. In the farmyards, the chickens and even the pigs were too nervous to eat. Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide. Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds. At about 3∶00 am on July 28,1976, some people saw bright lights in the sky. The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes
