The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906. Over 700 people died in it. The strongest one in North America was in 1964. It happened in Alaska.
Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people. In 1755, one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal. Around 2,000 people died.
In 1923, a very strong earthquake hit Tokyo, Yokohama area of Japan.A hundred and forty thousand people died. Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake.
One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 2008. It killed a large number of people. The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China, in which 400,000 people were killed or injured. This earthquake happened in 1556.

One night, the first floor of a house suddenly caught fire. The fire was big, and soon the house became a sea of fire. On the second floor lived a little girl and her grandmother; the little girl's parents had died. In order to rescue the little girl, the grandmother was burned to death, leaving the little girl crying for help loudly.
How could people enter the house? At that very moment, a man carrying a ladder rushed to the flames and entered the house through the window. When he appeared again in the eyes of the people, the little girl was in his arms. He gave the girl to the crowd, and then disappeared into the night.

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。短文向读者介绍了一些应对压力的小窍门。
1.E [由空前的“After all,stress goes hand in hand with changes,and our life is all about changes”可知,压力与变化相伴而生,而我们的生活就是关于变化的。故E项“根本没有完全摆脱压力的方法”符合题意。]
2.G [由标题“Eat right”可知,此空要与上一句一同来说明如何在缓解压力的同时又正确地饮食。故G项“当然,每个人都喜欢吃令人心情愉快的食物,但你也需要均衡的饮食”符合题意。]
3.F [由下文中的“Regular exercise can help you relax and feel better”可知,经常锻炼能够让我们感到更轻松。故F项“少量的体育活动可以帮助我们消除压力”符合题意。]
