At 3:42 a. m. everything began to shake. One of the most deadly (earthquake) of the 20th century had begun. A huge crack, eight kilometers long and 30 meters wide, cut across houses, roads and waterways. In less than one minute, a large city (lie) in ruins. Two thirds of the people (live) there were dead or injured. About 75 percent of the buildings, 90 percent of the homes and all of the hospitals were gone. Bricks covered the ground red autumn leaves. Most bridges had fallen or were not safe (cross). The railway tracks were now useless pieces of metal. (late) that afternoon, another big quake shook Tangshan again. People began to wonder how long the disaster would last.

But hope was not lost. The army sent 150,000 soldiers to Tangshan to dig out those who (trap). More than 10,000 doctors and nurses came to provide medical care. Workers built shelters for survivors home had been destroyed. Slowly, the city began to breathe again.

Tangshan started to revive (it) and get back up on its feet. With strong support from the government and the tireless efforts of the city's people, new Tangshan was built upon the earthquake ruins.

Four years ago, a friend first told me about the program, saying it would allow me to spend my afternoons5 horses while riding them for free. I was curious about it, so I followed him to the barn (牲口房) where horses were kept. When I saw my big horse for the first time, I was6. After months of practice, however, I gradually7 the fear. I was8 to ride a horse. It was all because of these9: feeding my "care horse", cleaning it and checking it for signs of injury. But I thought the10 was different from anything I had imagined.

Many kids11 for the program and their moms always speak highly of Hi: The program has been a great12. Hi also said, "Developing a relationship with their horses is13 to those kids." On the other hand, Hi is strict with the kids. "It's14 for kids to come here on time. You'll be kicked off the program if you stop15 classes," he stressed.

Make screen time a privilege (特权). One of the ways that screen time has changed over time is that what was once considered a privilege is now considered more of a right. So, parents need to make it clear that screen time is a privilege that costs effort. This may be difficult at first, but the lessons from learning to put off the satisfaction of screen time and control their desires will likely stay with your child for a long time.

Schedule a family meeting to discuss the rules of screen time use and allow your teen to express his or her ideas. Most teens aren't mature enough to deal with what they get from their electronics, so set up rules that will keep your teen safe and help them make good choices with video games, cell phones, TVs, and computers. Two helpful rules that you might consider are having a set time when screens need to be turned off at night and taking bedrooms as no-screen-zones.

Form healthy habits together. It can be helpful to have screen time limits that everyone in your family is expected to follow. Telling your teen to turn off their electronics while you're sitting in front of the TV is likely to be less effective than letting them know that it's time for everyone to shut down their screens. Be a good role model by limiting your own screen time.

Encourage physical activity. Encourage your teen to get regular exercise. Going for a walk, playing a game of catch, or doing some yard work can support your teen in getting the physical activity they need. Take a moment and think of some of the activities you enjoyed growing up and don't let your child miss out on those opportunities.

A. Set up clear rules.

B. Encourage screen-free mealtimes.

C. Teens will learn more from what you do than what you say.

D. Here are some practical strategies you can use to limit your teen's screen time.

E. It's a great way to ensure that everyone can still enjoy plenty of activities without electronics.

F. Finding activities that you're able to enjoy as a family can also help your teen to experience activities as more social and fun.

G. Also, be sure that your teen is aware of what behavior can result in their privilege of screen time being taken away.

For example, several years ago, Bethlehem tried spacing out its stops, says Mannella. The parents were unhappy, expressed as much and, within three days, the routes were back to normal. "You can say' we are going to save $100,000 by not stopping at every house,' but parents don' t want their kids walking," Mannella says. As you'd expect, this is especially true in bad weather.

As a student in the 1980s, we walked to our stops. The neighborhood wait-spot was a good quarter mile away. Parents didn't make a fuss (大惊小怪), and no child was injured. In fact, the walking was good — it woke us up each morning. Not to mention, the sense of community that came with hanging out together each morning waiting for bus No. 23 to roll up and take us all to school.

Thing is, a lot has changed since the 1980s. Too many people are texting and driving, making them as dangerous on the roads as drunken drivers. And, with reduced work forces at many companies, parents often work longer hours, meaning they aren't around to guard their kids to and from stops like many parents did when we were growing up.

So I'll give them an understanding pass on not wanting their children to walk a mile each way to get to and from school. I can't agree with the complaints of having kids walk to a community neighborhood stop, though. If you worry they're going to be cold, get them a hat. If you fear they may miss the bus, send them bout the door five minutes earlier.

"It's unstoppable," said Mr. Ruprecht, a former dairy farmer. "We speak about the warmth of Mother Nature, but nature can also be vicious and wild and unforgiving."

Australia' s hellish (地狱的) fire season has come to an end, but its people are facing more than a single disaster. With floods destroying homes not far from where fires recently spread, they are facing a cycle of what scientists call "compound extremes": one climate disaster strengthening the next.

Warmer temperatures do more than just dry out the land. They also heat up the atmosphere, which means clouds hold more moisture (水汽) for longer periods of time. So droughts get worse, giving way to fires, then to heavy rains that the land is too dry to take in.

Many Australians in disaster areas complain that their government, after paying little attention to climate change for years, has not yet to draw up recovery plans that are clear and that take future risks into consideration.

At the same time, the economic costs of a changing climate are rising quickly. Philip Lowe, the governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, warned recently that Australia was already paying a price, and that it would only go up.

There were hundreds of Chinese waving flags to support Qinwen Zheng, 21, who would soon take gold by defeating Croatia's Donna Vedic in the women's singles tennis final.

As she lay down on the dirt, eyes skyward and fists extended into the Paris haze, the win's gravity seemed to register: This was China's first-ever Olympic gold medal in this sport. When talking about the Olympics, Zheng said, "I treated the Games differently —the emotion, the fight, the mentality. If you asked me to stay three more hours to fight, I could do it."

Born in 2002, Zheng started playing tennis at age seven. At age eight, she moved alone for better coaching. Since adolescence, she has deeply admired Chinese athletes, such as the tennis star Li Na, who joined in the 2008 Beijing Games, and the runner Liu Xiang, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games.

"It was really tough," Zheng said, looking back at those early days. "My mom used to come visit on weekends. When she left, I would hold her leg and cry. After 13, she decided to stay with me full-time to let me have better growth and care. After that, it got easier. And we moved to Europe when I was 17."

In Paris, Zheng performed exceptionally well on her road to gold, including toppling world number one Iga Swiatek. "With Iga, I was clear," Zheng said. "I know why I lost to her before. I played rushed, made too many unforced errors, and wanted to hit faster than her. I wanted to prove my power. But in these Games, I didn't think like this."

Zheng is conscious, too, of the effects that her milestone achievement in Paris will have. As we wrapped up our chat, she said softly, "I was reading comments last night and some of them really make me feel proud. If you watch my tennis and it brings you some extra strength in your life, that will make me happy."
