• 2．About six years ago，I was sitting on a plane next to a woman who was extremely energetic.I was tired and wanted to take a nap，but she tapped me on the shoulder to introduce herself.
     "Hi，my name is Helga."
     As we talked，it came up that I had started an organization in high school called R.A．K.E. （Random Acts of Kindness，Etc.）.As I described what we did，Helga got very serious and said to me， "There is nothing more important in the world than kindness."
     I was curious about what she had said，and as the plane took off.jye.ai began telling me a story about the last time she had flown.
     It was three years ago and she was heading back to her hometown because her father had become very ill.
     Just as the plane was about to leave，her father's doctor called to inform her that her father had suddenly passed away.For the three hour plane ride，she sat in stunned（受惊的） silence.
     When she arrived at the airport in her hometown，she walked to the nearest bench（长椅），sat down and cried.
     For two hours，she sat and wept while thousands of people just walked on by.
     "Not a single person stopped and asked if I was OK that day.It was on that day that I realized kindness isn't normal. "
     Helga's words have stuck with me for all these years.I'm reminded all the time that for many of us，kindness is not usually our "default setting （默认设置）".
     We spend so much time worrying about our own problems that we walk by or ignore other people in need of a bit of kindness.
     So，I've made it my mission to do my part in making kindness "normal".
     Now，I travel to schools all across the US to speak about compassion，empathy（同感），and love.
     I' m proud to share my stories with students，teachers，and parents about our need for character，compassion，and kindness.
     Providing young people with practical ways to exercise kindness makes my job more satisfying than any other I can think of.
     And when I give my talks，I always have my conversation with Helga in the back of my mind.

• 3．Earthquakes usually happen on the edges of large sections of the Earth's plates.These plates slowly move over a long period of time.Sometimes the edges，which are called fault lines，can get stuck，but the plates keep moving.Pressure slowly starts to build up where the edges are stuck and，once the pressure gets strong enough，the plates will suddenly move causing an earthquake.
     Generally before and after a large earthquake there will be smaller earthquakes.The ones that happen before are called foreshocks.The ones that happen after are called aftershocks. Scientists don't really know if an earthquake is a foreshock until the bigger earthquake occurs.
     Shock waves from an earthquake that travel through the ground are called seismic waves （地震波）.They are most powerful at the center of the earthquake，but they travel through much of the earth and back to the surface.They move quickly at 20 times the speed of sound.
     Scientists use seismic waves to measure how big an earthquake is.They use a device called a seismograph （地震仪） to measure the size of the waves.The size of the waves is called the magnitude.
     To tell the strength of an earthquake scientists use a scale called the Moment Magnitude Scale or MMS （it used to be called the Richter scale）.The larger the number on the MMS scale，the larger the earthquake.You usually won't even notice an earthquake unless it measures at least a 3 on the MMS scale.Here are some examples of what may happen depending on the scale：
  4.0-Could shake your house as if a large truck were passing close by.Some people may not notice.
  5.0-If you are in a car，it may shake.Glasses and dishes may rattle.Windows may break.
  6.0- Items will fall off shelves.Walls in some houses may crack and windows break.Pretty much everyone near the center will feel this one.
  7.0- Weaker buildings will collapse and cracks will occur in bridges and on the street.
  8.0- Many buildings and bridges fall down.Large cracks in the earth.
  9.0 and up- Whole cities flattened and large-scale damage.
  
  （1）If a 5.0-magnitude earthquake hit your area，what might happen？

  
  A．Your house might shake violently.
  B．People might feel no shaking at all.
  C．The family photo may fall off the wall.
  D．There might be cracks everywhere on the street.
  （2）What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph2？

  
  A．It's still hard to tell foreshocks from main earthquakes.
  B．Scientists can't exactly measure the strength of an earthquake.
  C．People may ignore foreshocks when an earthquake is not so strong.
  D．The earthquake won't cause any damage unless it reaches 9.0 MMS.
  （3）The writer explains the concepts concerning the earthquake by

  .
  A．listing examples
  B．giving explanations
  C．making comparisons
  D．offering data
  （4）The passage is written mainly to

  .
  A．enrich people's knowledge of self-rescue in disasters
  B．stress the importance of earthquake rescue
  C．issue early warnings before an earthquake
  D．present facts about the earthquake
