2．A small earthquake shook northwest Alaska on Monday．It was the fifth earthquake of the same magnitude（震级） since April in an area with little activity．The magnitude 5.7 quake happened at 4：01am on Monday northeast of the village of Noatak．
Like other earthquakes in the swarm（群），the earthquake was felt in Noatak，a community of 560 people．People there had hardly ever experienced earthquakes and they had some worried residents．Before the swarm that began on April 18th，the last known quake of similar size in the area was a magnitude-5.5 quake in 1981．
The swarm of magnitude-5.7 earthquakes is connected to more than 300 smaller aftershocks．The first earthquake and the others of that magnitude are located in the same area about 20 miles from Noatak．The community is 70 miles north of the Arctic Circle．Monday's earthquake was followed by at least 10 aftershocks．There was no serious property damage or injuries from the earthquakes．
Ruppert，an earthquake expert，said old faults （断层） had been mapped in the area，but there was still unknown active faults．She said sometimes surface fault scars（断层痕） could be hidden．"Obviously，since we have all the earthquake activity，there must be some active faults in the area，"Ruppert said．
The series of earthquakes has scientists puzzled about earthquake activity that is considered very unusual in the area．"At this point，we don't really understand the nature of these earthquakes，"Ruppert said．She added that she didn't believe there was any connection between the earthquakes and the Red Dog Mine，located about 35 miles north of Noatak．"All mining activities are very near the surface，"Ruppert said．"But all the earthquakes are miles below the surface．

6．I think university life is a time for learning and experiencing new things．I can meet the other young people like me from many different places and can make lots friends．I will probably study and live away at home during this time，so I will have a lot more independent．Studying at university will be quite differently from studying at high school．I may not have so much homework to finish every day，and I will have to spend much more time working by myself．I know that in any university where are different societies or clubs organizing by the students themselves．I want to join the film society and the travel club because I show interest on both activities．These societies and clubs can make my life interesting and helped me make friends．
