NEWDALE—On 20 December,a series of huge waves caused by an undersea earthquake raced across the ocean near Goldshore and left thousands dead.Goldshore Beach was the only local beach to survive the disaster without any loss of life. A 10-year-old girl, Sabrina Andron, helped around 100 people escape danger with her knowledge of tsunamis.

句中运用了不定式作定语。
The day began like any other on Goldshore Beach. People were walking,running or simply sitting on the sandy beach,enjoying the warm sea air and the soft wind that brushed their hair. Sabrina was one of the happy tourists until she noticed something odd.“The water was like the bubbles on the top of a beer,”she later explained.“It wasn't calm and it wasn't going in and then out. It was just coming in and in and in.”Sabrina had just learnt about tsunamis in a Geography lesson.
It immediately occurred to her that these were signs of an approaching tsunami.

The beach was rapidly cleared of people,just before the huge waves crashed into the coast.

弗尔蒙特大地震
中学生幸免于难
作者:雷蒙德•特兰
3月18日
弗尔蒙特——弗尔蒙特小学的476名学生和36名教师于3月17日下午2点27分发生在该县的一场地震中幸免。尽管目前整个灾区的伤亡数字是7人死亡,200多人受伤,但(在这所学校)只有5名学生受了轻伤。
弗尔蒙特小学的校长艾丽斯·布朗在教学时,地板开始摇晃。她的学生们反应迅速、正确——他们头朝里,爬到课桌下面,并紧紧抓住桌腿。同时,布朗小姐迅速打开教室门,以防教室门在晃动时损坏而无法打开。尽管玻璃破碎和物体落地发出阵阵巨响,但是学生们仍然一动不动,沉着安静地等待着。 晃动一停,布朗小姐就感觉到这是他们逃跑的最佳时机。她示意学生们抱着头,排好队,有序离开教室。不到一分钟二十秒,全班同学都下了楼梯,冲到操场上。很快其他班的同学也来了。点名确认所有人都安然无恙后,他们才放松下来,笑啊,哭啊,互相拥抱着。
“我们每年都进行两次地震安全演习,”布朗小姐说,“所以孩子们在地震中足够冷静,能保护自己。”
女孩从海啸中拯救100人
作者:杰西·凯布尔
12月21日
纽代尔——12月20日,由海底地震引起的一排排巨浪急速冲过金海岸附近的海面,造成数千人死亡。金岸海滩是当地唯一在灾难中幸存的海滩,没有任何生命损失。一个10岁的女孩,萨布丽娜·安德龙,用她对海啸的知识帮助了大约100人逃离了危险。
这一天和金岸海滩上的任何一天一样。人们都在散步,跑步,或者只是坐在沙滩上,享受着温暖的海边空气和轻柔的风拂过他们的头发。萨布丽娜是这些快乐的游客中的一个,直到她注意到了一些奇怪的现象。“水就像啤酒顶上的气泡,”她后来解释道。“它不平静,也不是进进出出,它只是不停地涌进来。”萨布丽娜刚刚在一堂地理课上了解海啸。她立刻意识到这些是海啸来临的征兆。
萨布丽娜很害怕,但她很快就保持了清醒的头脑。她警告她的父母有危险,虽然刚开始他们只是觉得她在开玩笑。然而,萨布丽娜确定一场可怕的灾难即将来临,她不停地让她的父母和一名负责安全的官员谈一谈。使她大为宽慰的是,这名安全员立即意识到了即将到来的危险。就在巨浪冲击海岸之前,海滩上的人很快就被疏散了。
