No one thought that in two days the city would become a grave for 2 000 people. Pompeii is located 8 km from Mt. Vesuvius. The mountain had once been an active volcano, but it had never erupted during the lifetime of anyone in the city. People were, however, used to earthquakes. Perhaps that is why when the earth shook for days before the volcano erupted, no one panicked. People must have thought they were safe, but they were wrong. The first sign of danger was a strange cloud rising from Mt. Vesuvius. It was a cloud of dark smoke and ash. For about eight hours, the cloud grew and covered a huge area beyond the city. The cloud carried rocks and ash, which fell over Pompeii like rain. Text A People evacuated the city in terror. That night, however, the rain of rocks and ash stopped. Many people thought the danger was over and returned to their homes. Around 7:30 the next morning, about 2 000 people were walking around the city, probably looking at the damage from the day before. Suddenly, Mt. Vesuvius exploded, sending a landslide of hot rocks, fire, and gases towards Pompeii. In less than two minutes, it killed everything in its path, and buried the city. The city was perfectly preserved and remained buried for almost 2 000 years. Now people can learn a lot about how the Ancient Romans lived from studying Pompeii. erupt v. if a volcano erupts, it explodes and sends smoke, fire, and rock into the sky （火山）爆 发 If a volcano erupts, it explores and sends smoke, fire, and rock into the sky. Gang violence can erupt for no apparent reason. evacuate v. send people away from a dangerous place to a safe place 疏散；撤离 The children were evacuated to the country when the city was being bombed. The soldiers evacuated the area as the enemy advanced. Proper Names Mt.

Have you or has someone you know (ever) experienced a natural disaster? 2. Work in pairs or groups to find the important words in the text below and see what information you can get. Text B Earthquakes are among the deadliest natural disasters, causing the largest number of casualties, the highest death tolls, and the greatest destruction. In 1556 in China, the deadliest earthquake in history killed 830 000 people. But many other earthquakes have caused the deaths of more than 100 000 people, and it is not unusual, even in modern times, for an earthquake death toll to reach 20 000 to 30 000 people with hundreds of thousands left homeless. There are four factors that affect the casualty rate and economic impact of earthquakes: magnitude, location, quality of construction of buildings, and timing. Magnitude The magnitude, or strength, of an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale, ranging from 1 to 10, with 10 being the greatest. Earthquakes over 6 on the Richter scale are often deadly, and those over 8 are generally catastrophic, causing terrible damage. Damage to road in 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan EarthquakesEarthquakes Text B Location However, a severe earthquake that is located far from population centers does not cause the same damage as a less severe one that occurs in the middle of a city. As an example, in 1960, the strongest earthquake ever recorded, 9.5 magnitude on the Richter scale, struck in the Pacific Ocean near the Chilean coastline, killing over 2 000 people and injuring another 3 000. If this quake had struck a city, it would have been catastrophic, and hundreds of thousands might have been killed. Similarly, in Alaska, in 1964, a magnitude 9.2 quake hit an area with few people, and the death toll was 117. Quality of Construction Furthermore, modern building construction techniques can lessen the death toll and economic impact of a moderate earthquake that would otherwise cause severe destruction of older-style buildings. In 2003, a terrible earthquake in the historic city of Bam in Iran caused the destruction of over 90% of the buildings, mostly due to old construction. Timing Finally, the time of occurrence of an earthquake can affect the number of deaths and casualties. Earthquakes that occur in the night, when people are indoors, usually cause a greater death toll than ones that occur when people are outdoors. timing n. the time when someone does something or when something happens, especially when you are considering how suitable this is 时间，时机 He was just walking into the restaurant when we got there. Perfect timing. He told jokes with an exquisite sense of timing. severe adj. very bad or very serious 严重的 Drug smuggling continues to flourish despite the severe sentences of the courts. The president came under severe criticism for his handling of the crisis. lessen v. become smaller in size, importance, or value, or make something do this 减少，减轻 The rain eventually lessened to a soft mist. Eating properly can lessen the risk of heart disease. moderate adj. 1. not very large or very small, very hot or very cold, very fast or very slow 中等的，适度的，适中的 Moderate exercise, such as walking and swimming, can help to prevent heart disease. Were looking for a house with a moderate-sized garden. 2. staying within reasonable or sensible limits 有节制的， 适度的 My father is a moderate smoker She led a living with moderate wage demands. Proper Names Richter scale 里氏(地)震级 Chilean 智利的 Bam 巴姆市（伊朗城市） Answer the following questions.Answer the following questions. 1. Which earthquake was the deadliest in history? 2. Which earthquake had the highest recorded Richter scale reading? 3. How can location affect the death toll of an earthquake? 4. How can building techniques lessen the destruction and economic impact of an earthquake? Modern building construction techniques can lessen the death toll and economic impact of a moderate earthquake that would otherwise cause severe destruction of older-style buildings. In 1556 in China, the deadliest earthquake in history killed 830 000 people. In 1960, the strongest earthquake ever recorded, 9.5 magnitude on the Richter scale, struck in the Pacific Ocean near the Chilean coastline. An earthquake in a city might kill more people.
