• 2．If the crust（外壳）of the earth were not pretty solid（坚固的），it would be shaking and moving up and down frequently.However，there are places in the rocks of the earth's crust where it isn't strongly held together—where faults exist.Along the faults，one rock might push against another with great force.The energy is changed to vibration in the rocks，so they begin to shake and we have an earthquake!
     The most famous one in North America was the Sin Francisco earthquake of 1906.Seven hundred people died and property（财产）damage amounted to about ＄425，000，000.The greatest destruction came from the fires that followed the quake.

     Two great earthquakes that caused great damage in Asia took place in Tokyo，Japan，and in Gansu Province in China.The Tokyo quake of 1923 killed more than one hundred thousand people and destroyed the city and the city of Yokohama，too.The Chinese quake in 1920 covered more than three hundred square miles and killed about two hundred thousand people.

  .
  A．where earthquakes happen

• 3．When I first met George，I was in my early 30s.My children were just entering school life allowing me to escape from endless housework.At 65，George had recently left work and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years.For both of us，we loved painting and we met at a local TAFE painting class.Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years - until the day he died.
     George was an energetic man who lived life to the full.He loved his family，his friends，and was loyal and outspoken.As the only male in a painting class full of women，George quite enjoyed it.He ruled the roost（栖息处） and we were his jye.ains.He loved his singular（单一的）role and looked after his hens with the same attention he gave to everything.
     He took to painting with passion and devotion.He carefully housed his expensive painting tools in a box - a red metal tool box - built to bear hard knocks.Not fancy，but smooth and shiny and very red.
     In 2004，I learned that he was very ill and went to visit him. "He's very confused and may not recognize you，" Penny，his daughter，warned.But as I bent over，George opened his eyes. "Betty!" he said，and with surprising strength，held my hand. "I've always been hoping to leave my box to you.I'm afraid I can't paint anymore，and you have the best talent and are most likely to use it，" he said.With tears in my eyes，I accepted the gift on the proviso（附带条件） he could take it back at any time.He never did.He died two days later.
     Today I still use much of his equipment kept in the box.The box is still in good shape，very red.The original shop sticker is still firmly in place although the price has worn off.
     But that's all right because to my mind some things，like friendship，are beyond price.

• 4．Too many people want others to be their friends，but they don't give friendship back.That is why some friendships don't last very long.To have a friend，you must learn to be one.You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you.Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules：be honest；be generous；be understanding.
     Honesty is where a good friendship starts.Friends must be able to trust one another.If you don't tell the truth，people usually find out.If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest you may lose your friend's trust.Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
     Generosity means sharing and makes a friendship grow.You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes.Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings.These can be very valuable to friends.They tell your friends what is important to you.By sharing then you help your friend know you better.
     Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with problems.Something may go wrong at school.Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve.Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem.So to be a friend you must listen and understand.You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so you can understand the problem better.
     No two friendships are ever exactly alike.But all true friendships have three things in common.If you plan to keep your friends，you must practice honesty，generosity and understanding.
