B3U2Reading Pupils’ lives spared during Falmont earthquake 弗尔蒙特发生地震 小学生成功逃生 FALMONT—On 17 March, 476 students and 36 teachers at Falmont Primary School escaped an earthquake that hit the county at 2:27 p.m. Only 5 students suffered slight injuries, despite the current figures of 7 killed and over 200 injured in the disaster area at large. 弗尔蒙特—3 月 17 日下午 2 : 27，一场地震袭击了弗尔蒙特县，弗尔蒙特小学476 名学生和 36 名教师成功逃生。尽管目前整个灾区伤亡数据为 7 人死亡，200 多人受伤，（弗尔蒙特小学）却仅有 5 名学生受轻伤。 Alice Brown, head teacher at Falmont Primary School, was teaching when the floor began to shake. Her students’ reaction was quick and correct—they moved under their desks, head first, and held on to the legs of the desks. At the same time, Miss Brown quickly opened the classroom door, in case it became damaged during the shaking and could not open. There were loud crashes of glass breaking and things falling to the ground, but the students remained still and waited calmly and quietly. 弗尔蒙特小学校长艾丽斯 · 布朗当时正在授课，突然地面开始晃动。她的学生们反应迅速正确—他们头朝里，钻到桌子下面，并紧紧抓住桌腿。与此同时，布朗女士立刻打开教室门，以防门在震动中损坏打不开。尽管玻璃破碎、东西倒地发出阵阵巨响，但是学生们仍然一动不动，沉着安静地等待着。 The moment the shaking stopped, Miss Brown sensed it was the best time for the class to make their escape. She signalled to her students to exit the classroom in an orderly line covering their heads with their hands. Within one minute and twenty seconds, the whole class went down the stairs and rushed to the playground. Soon students from other classes arrived too. After a roll call confirmed that all were safe and sound, they relaxed, laughing, crying and hugging each other. 晃动一停止，布朗女士立即意识到这是全班逃生的最好时机。她示意学生们用双手护着头，排好队，有序离开教室1分20秒内，全班下楼梯，跑到了操场上。很快，其他班的学生也赶到了。点名确认所有人都安然无恙后，大家才松了一口气，笑啊，哭啊，互相拥抱着。 “We practise earthquake safety procedures twice a year,” said Miss Brown, “so the kids were calm enough to protect themselves during the earthquake.” “我们每年进行两次地震安全规程演练，”布朗女士说，“因此在地震时，孩子们都十分镇定，能够保护好自己。” injure (vt.) 伤害,使受伤;损害 e.g.:①If you try and lift that heavy suitcase, you will do yourself an ______(injure). ②Because she was ________(injure) badly, she cannot go climbing with us as planned.  ③The ________(injure) were sent to the nearest hospital right away after the accident.

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. 纽代尔—12 月 20 日，由海底地震引发的巨浪接连席卷了金海岸附近海域，造成数千人死亡。金海岸海滩是当地唯一一个在此次灾难中没有任何人员损失的海滩。一个 10 岁的女孩，萨布丽娜 · 安德龙，利用自己掌握的海啸知识帮助大约 100 人脱险。 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. 那天刚开始，金海岸海滩上与往常一样。人们在散步、晨跑，或者就是坐在沙滩上，享受着温暖的海边空气和拂过发际的微风。萨布丽娜是这群快乐游客中的一位，直到她察觉到一丝异样。 “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. “海水像啤酒表面的泡沫一样，”她后来解释说，“不平静，也没有潮来潮去。海水只是一个劲儿地涌过来，涌过来，再涌过来。”萨布丽娜刚在一节地理课上学习了有关海啸的知识。她立刻意识到这是海啸来临的前兆。 Sabrina was frightened, but she soon kept her head. She warned her parents of the danger, though at first they just thought she was joking. However, Sabrina was certain that a terrible disaster was on its way and kept asking her parents to talk to a safety officer. To her great relief, the officer immediately realized the coming danger. The beach was rapidly cleared of people, just before the huge waves crashed into the coast. 萨布丽娜吓坏了，不过她很快冷静下来。她提醒父母有危险，但一开始他们只当她是在开玩笑。不过，萨布丽娜确信，一场可怕的灾难正在逼近，于是便不停地让父母去和安全员谈一谈。使她大为宽慰的是，安全员立即意识到危险即将来临。就在巨浪拍岸的前一刻，海滩上的人迅速疏散一空。 leave+宾语+宾补(形容词/副词/介词短语/名词/非谓语动词) e.g.: ①Don’t leave water __________(run) after you leave. ②He left his homework __________(unfinish) even if asked to complete it several times. ③She left him ________(decide) whether to leave or not. ④The teacher asked us a puzzling question, leaving all of us puzzled. ⑤They died and left the whole nation in sorrow. ⑥His parents died in the earthquake, leaving him an orphan. running unfinished to decide odd (adj.) 奇怪的;偶尔的;不成对的;奇数的 odds (n.) 可能性,机会 e.g.: ①There are something odd about that man. ②He makes the odd mistake.
