Words in a context Natural disasters, like floods, droughts, landslides, typhoons, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis, affect human beings deeply and badly. Yet the earthquake ranks among the fiercest, usually causing extensive damage to human civilization. In 2008, an earthquake at the magnitude of 8 shook Wenchuan, which shocked the world with its ferocity and caused almost 70, 000 deaths. Lily is a survivor who witnessed the destructive effects of nature on Wenchuan. The city was destroyed into ruins just before her eyes. Her memory of the city’s destruction never recedes as if the catastrophe would never come to an end. Days before the earthquake, strange things appeared, to which people paid little attention. When the earthquake struck the area, people panicked and thousands of them were trapped or even buried in the debris (残骸). Ninety percent of buildings cracked or even crashed to the ground, with bricks falling and metal pipes bursting everywhere. What’s worse, the power failed. People there suffered from not only a lack of electricity and water, but also despair. Luckily, the whole nation came to the aid of the earthquake-stricken area. Soldiers were sent to evacuate the survivors, escorting them to shelters and bury the dead. Rescue helicopters helped with the delivery of household, and medical supplies and the ambulances whistled by. Thanks to their unified efforts and wisdom, the city began to breathe and revive.
