Unit 4 Earthquakes地 震晨读记忆A Horrible Earthquake Dirty water rose in wells and canals before the earthquake. But no one judged that an earthquake was coming. Suddenly, everything shook. It seemed as if the world was at an end. Millions of brick houses and a number of dams were destroyed. Railway tracks became useless bars. Pipes in mines burst and let out smelly steam. Huge cracks trapped cyclists everywhere. The next day, this event was the headline or main title of all newspapers. With the reporters giving an outline of the disaster, the whole nation was shocked by the damage and the victims extreme suffering. People were moved when they read that the survivors comforted each other by saying “Congratulations! You survived!”. So they not only expressed their sympathy sincerely, but also organized together to help the victims right away. The injured were rescued and the dead were buried. The frightened survivors were dug out from under the ruins and were offered shelter, fresh water and electricity. Thanks to peoples help, the loss was minimized.可怕的地震 地震前，水井和运河里的污水都涨涌起来。但是却没人判断出地震即将来临。霎那间，一切都在摇晃，似乎整个世界就要结束。数以百万的砖房和许多水坝遭到破坏;铁路轨道都变成无用的铁条;煤矿管道纷纷爆裂，发出有臭味的蒸汽;到处都有骑车的人被巨大的裂缝陷住。 第二天，所有报纸都纷纷以大字标题或主要标题报道了这一事件。记者们描述了灾难的大概情况，全国都被地震的破坏和灾民们极度的苦难所震惊。当人们读到幸存者以“恭喜啊，你还活着。”来互相安慰时，都被感动了。人们不仅衷心地表达了他们的同情，而且还立刻组织起来帮助灾民。伤员被救助了，死者被埋葬了，吓坏的幸存者被从废墟中挖出来了，栖身处、净水和电力也很快得到提供。多亏了人们的帮助，灾区的损失被减到了最小。I.单词盘点551._(n.) 地震（同quake） 2._(n.) 井 3._(n.) 管；导管 4._(vi.) 爆裂；爆发 (n.)突然破裂；爆发 5._(n.) 百万 6._(n.) 事件；大事 7._(n.) 民族；国家；国民 8._(n.) 运河；水道 9._(n.) 蒸汽；水汽 10._(n.) 污垢；泥土11._(n.) 废墟；毁灭 (vt.)毁灭；使破产 12._(n.) 苦难；痛苦 13._(adj.) 极度的 _(adv.) 极度地14._(vt.) 损害；伤害 _(n.) 损害；伤害 _(adj.) 受伤的15._(v.) 破坏；毁坏；消灭 16._(n.) 砖；砖块17._(n.) 水坝；堰堤18._(n.) 轨道；足迹；痕迹 19._(adj.) 无用的；无效的；无益的 _(adj.) 有用的 20._(v.)

English or Chinglish？望子成“龙”Become a dragon One time I remember talking to a parent, whose son I was teaching English to. I asked the parent why his son was enrolled in so many classes and he replied, “I want my son to become a dragon.”I couldnt understand his meaning .When I asked a Chinese friend with good English I understood that his meaning had been“望子成龙”, which in English would be better expressed as“I have high hopes for my son/daughter.” 记得有一次我和一位家长聊天，我正在教他儿子英语。我问这位家长为什么他的儿子要上这么多的课，他回答说:“I want my son to become a dragon.”我一头雾水。当我问了一位英语很好的中国朋友后，我知道了这位家长是想表达“望子成龙”。在英语中用“I have high hopes for my son/daughter.”来表达这一意思会比较好。文化差异： Unlike in china，where the dragon is considered a lucky and powerful sign，in western culture，dragons are generally associated with “evil”or“danger”in stories. 摘自Kirk Kenny笑死我的英文书参考答案I.单词盘点1.earthquake 2.well 3.pipe 4.burst 5.million 6.event 7.nation 8.canal 9.steam 10.dirt 11.ruin 12.suffering 13.extreme；extremely 14.injure；injured 15.destroy 16.brick 17.dam 18.track 19.useless；useful 20.shock；shocking；shocked 21.rescue 22.trap 23.electricity ；electric；electrical 24.disaster 25.bury 26.mine；miner 27.shelter 28.title 29.reporter 30.bar 31.damage 32.frighten；frightened ；frightening 33.congratulation；congratulate 34.judge 35.sincerely 36.express；expression 37.outline 38.headline 39.cyclist；cycleII.短语回顾1.right away 2.as if/though 3.at an end 4.in ruins 5.dig out 6.a (large) number of 7.think little/nothing of 8.in the open air 9.give a speech 10.raise money 11.sink into 12.be buried in IV.小试牛刀.单词填空1.reported 2.useless 3.frightening 4.shocked 5.have injured 6.extremely 7.miner 8.suffering 9.destroyed 10.National.短语填空1.dug out 2.in honor of3.as if 4.in ruins 5thought little of6.was at an end7.burst into tears8right away9.a large number of10.was trapped in.单句填词1.to walk 2.It 3.were 4.when 5.realized.单句改错high改为highly 2.frightening改为frightened 3.is改为are4.while改为when 5.that改为which 6.who改为whom 7.shocking改为shocked 8.which改为whose 9.
