hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound.The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed.Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole.The wall of water，a kilometer high，rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour.Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.
Before the waves reach South America，the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina.Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains.The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean.The cities of Los Angeles，San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by lions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead，but the north won’t escape for long.Because of the explosions，the sun is hidden by clouds of dust，and temperatures around the world fall to almost zero.Crops are ruined.The sun won’t be seen again for many years.Wars break out as countries fight for food.A year later，no more than 10 million remain alive.

People often say that gold and silver are valuable because they are wanted by everybody.
________________________________________________________________________ 参考范文
Books Are Friends and Teachers
People often say that gold and silver are valuable because they are wanted by everybody.But I say that books are even more valuable because they are more needed by everybody.
Books are our friends.They introduce us to great men and women.They take us to all the countries in the world.They tell us stories of all ages.They also help us in our difficulties ，comfort us in sorrow and in suffering ，equip all our minds with good and happy thoughts.
Books are our teachers.They teach us something about life ，truth ，science and philosophy.They increase our knowledge ，enlarge our vocabulary ，strengthen our character ，and do many other things that silver and gold cannot do.
In particular ，I enjoy what Francis Bacon said ，“Studies serve for delight，for ornament and for ability.”。
