I could imagine that she must be proud of her schoolbag. The bag is designed for students, which can hold a lot of things, such as textbooks, pens and pencils, snacks and water! Students just carry it on their shoulders, and it is easy for them. I was really amazed by the wisdom of businessmen.I remembered I had a green cloth bag, which was very rough, but strong. At that time I was short, so my mom made the bag rope shorter. After eating all the meals prepared by my mother, I said to her, “I will go to school now. Bye!”I ran to school with my classmates. At that time, this schoolbag was so light. When I jumped, it jumped. All things in this bag had a collision (碰撞). They gave out cheerful sounds all the way along. At the time I was so happy.As I grew older, the schoolbag became heavier and heavier. My green schoolbag couldnot be used any longer. The bag was worn down, the mouth wasopened, and finally it came to an end. My mother bought me anotherbag, and it was very big. I liked the Mickey Mouse pattern. The baghad a few pockets and both sides of the bag could carry a bottle. Itwas convenient! I was happy to go out every day with the new bag.Five or six miles of the trip to school seemed as if it were a fewsteps away. That year I was 12 years old.

I am spending a year in Galicia and, although it is certainly a beautiful part of the world, I think it rains more than in England.There are no plains here. It is a coastal area, and clouds and storms directly get pushed in from over the ocean with force. As I write, there is a heavy rain outside. I have three umbrellas. Two big ones and a little one which I keep on me 8 , just in case. Believe me what I tell you is all true.The problem is that very often, umbrellas offer no help at all.

The rain falls hard and fast, and there is no escaping it.When people from England think of Spain, they imagine beaches and sunshine.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)Pictures are falling off the walls. Lights are waving. Bed is shaking. Everything is moving. What’s going on? It’s an earthquake.Earthquakes are horrible disasters(灾难) and some of them are destructive. The top layer of the earth is made up of huge pieces of rock. They move past each other all the time along fault lines(裂纹线). But sometimes two pieces get stuck together. When they finally move away from each other, they move suddenly. And this makes the land above them shake. This is the most common cause of earthquakes.During a small earthquake, you will feel a little shaking. But during a strong one, you will be thrown about. A strong earthquake is very horrible. Cracks will appear on the ground and windows and doors will break. Buildings will even fall down. So watch out! If an earthquake happens at sea, it can make big waves call ed “tsunamis”(海啸). When these waves reach land, they can destroy villages.Earthquakes are measured on a scale of 0-9. It is called the Richter scale. A size 9 earthquake is the strongest and most dangerous. Since 1900, more than two million people have died in earthquakes. In 1976, a size 7.8 earthquake hit Tangshan, China. It killed more than 240,000 people!Many earthquakes happened in China, so it is important for us to know what to do when an earthquake hits. Here are some tips on how to stay safe in an earthquake.Indoors◆Hide under a desk or bed. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you.◆Do not get into a lift during an earthquake! When an earthquake has ended, stay under thedesk until it is really safe to get up.◆Open a window and get out of the building quickly if the gas line in your house is broken. Outdoors◆Move away from buildings and street lights.◆Do not run outside if you are in a shop and far from the door.◆Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground.13. What will happen when an earthquake happens at sea?14. How are earthquakes measured?15.
