When we feel the ground moves suddenly, it means that an earthquake may come. Many of the earthquakes first come under the sea and then happen anywhere on the earth. Especially they often happen near the mountains and seas such as Wenchuan, Japan and Indonesia.

When an earthquake happens, it's very easy to cause a tsunami (海啸).Houses fall down, many people are injured and even died.

Now scientists are trying their best to study earthquakes. They make maps to show the "earthquake belts (地震带)". So the houses there must be quite strong.

We believe that scientists will be able to tell us when and where an earthquake will happen in the near future. Also, they can tell us what to do and how to do. People can even use earthquakes to do something for us humans.

Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying (摧毁)fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged (被损坏的) that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.

A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. "I was eating with my wife and children," he said, "when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later the house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened."

Mrs. Woo said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children. "There was no time to take anything," she said. "A few minutes later, the roof came down."

Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded(水淹的) area and the welfare department (福利机构) provided them with food, clothes and shelter.

Do you know the whales in the sea? There are many relatives(亲属) in the whale family and they always live together with whales.

Few people know dolphins(海豚) are part of thewhale family. Dolphins are not fish. They are mammals (哺乳动物).They breathe air, and they have babies and feed them with milk.Dolphins are famous for their wonderful shows. They can jump high out of thewater and show turns in the air. These jumps give the dolphins time to breathe.

Porpoises(鼠海豚) are also in the whale familyand are quite like dolphins. But they are different in the size and shape ofthe mouth. The dolphin's mouth is long and thin, but the porpoise's is shortand thick. Dolphins are also more talkative than porpoises. Dolphins makesounds to talk with each other under water. But porpoises do not do this. Bothof them are smart and friendly to humans.

Not all the members of the whale family are friendly. Big whales aremuch easier to be angry than smaller dolphins or porpoises. An angry whale canbe dangerous. Perhaps this helped to create the story ofMoby Dick thatsank(使下沉) a ship and made all the people on it die inthe sea.
