Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists believe that the surface of the earth is covered by a number of moving plates.Sometimes two plates move towards and push against each other.Sometimes they stop for years but at other times they jump and an earthquake is felt.Because of the movements of these plates, China, California of America and Japan have a lot of earthquakes.You can see the result in San Francisco where the Pacific plate meets the North American plate.When the 1906 earthquake happened, the Pacific plate jumped 5 to 6 metres to the north.
China is a country where many earthquakes happen.The Pacific plate is pushing China from the east and the Indian plate is pushing China from the southwest.The power of this movement created the Himalayas and Mount Qomolangma.It now causes earthquakes in China.We cannot stop earthquakes but we can do things to make sure they do not destroy the whole city.First it is not a good idea to build houses along the line where two plates meet.Second, if you think there may be an earthquake, make sure to build houses on rocks rather than on sands.Third,you must make the houses as strong as possible. Weak buildings will fall down in earthquake, but strong ones may stay up.

Many years ago,when I was fresh out of school,I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City.While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台),I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple.They said they would take me.We chatted and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.I wrote them a thankyou note.Soon afterward,I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later,I drove to a meeting in the morning.In the late afternoon I found that I'd left the lights on all day,and the battery was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment,so later,I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever written him and say “thank you”, and it meant a lot,he said.
“Thank you” — two powerful words.They're easy to say and mean so much.
