Earthquakes
Every year there are over 150,000 earthquakes around the world. Many are very
small and people don’t notice them. Others, like the ones in Haiti in 2010, or Japan
in 2011, cause terrible damage and can destroy whole towns and cities.
Scientists study the Earth and know where earthquakes are likely to happen. Some
countries have a much higher risk than others. Japan has on average 1,500
earthquakes every year. In Britain there are 140. The earthquakes in Britain are
usually very small and don’t cause damage to people’s houses. In Japan there are
much bigger earthquakes, and many modern buildings are specially built so that
they don’t get damaged by the movement of the earth.
One of the big problems with earthquakes is that we don’t know when they are
going to happen. Scientists can tell us where a big earthquake will probably
happen, but they can’t tell us the date or the time. If we could predict earthquakes,
we could prepare for them. If we were prepared, we could save lives by moving
people away from the earthquake area.
In the future things may be different, however. In the 1970s, Chinese scientists
noticed something interesting about the behaviour of animals. In the winter of 1974
lots of snakes woke up from their winter sleep and came out into the cold. That
winter there were several earthquakes in the north of China. In January the
following year, people around the city of Haicheng noticed that lots of farm animals
like cows and horses were nervous and refused to go into buildings at night. In
February there was a large earthquake in the area. Its centre was in Haicheng.
1. There are over 150,000 serious earthquakes annually.
2. Japan has over ten times more earthquakes annually than Britain.
3. All new buildings are safe in an earthquake.
4. If we could say where earthquakes will happen, we could rescue more people.
5. Scientists think that animals may know that an earthquake is coming.

away. But now other shoppers had seen what was happening and came to help the
old lady. The shop assistants locked the shop and called the police. Four of the
men were arrested.
The whole incident was filmed on the mobile phone of a passer-by. He put the film
on the Internet and the story was in all the newspapers: ‘Granny stops armed

Dear Logan!
I am really interested in your project and as you requied in the last letter, I write this
to tell you about a famous legend in my country, it is the Story of Vietnamese rice
cake
The story begun when the sixth Hung King wanted to find an heir to the throne. He
organized a competition for his twenty-one sons, stating that whoever can create
the best dishes under the King’s eyes would be chosen as the heir. While other
princes searched for the most expensive and the most exceptional dishes, the
eighteenth son, Lang Lieu, could not afford to find any such dishes.
One night, he dreamt of a deity who told him: “There is nothing bigger than the sky
or the earth, and the rice is the most precious of all. Now use glutinous rice to make
Banh Chung, a green thing in the shape of a square, to represent the earth. It will
have a filling made of mung beans and meat symbolizing plants and animals living
on earth. You will use green leaves to cover it, representing the care of parents for
their children. Then use ground glutinous rice to make Banh day, a white, dome-
shaped thing representing the sky”.
When he awoke, Lang Lieu was very happy and start preparing the two things
described by the deity. When Lang Lieu presented his father with them, the King
was very impressed by the taste and the meaning that Banh Chung and Banh day
represent. He then declared that Lang Lieu would be the new King, and Banh
Chung would ever since become the traditional and indispensable dish of the
Vietnamese Lunar New Year.
That's all about national legend in my country. What about yours? Wish you would
get good grades for this project and don't forget to write for me
Love,
Cuc.

A buzz about town
I’m in an expensive hotel in the centre of Paris. 1_____ The hotel owner, Jean
Leforestier, tells me that the honey is from the hotel’s own bees. I imagine that the
hotel has a farm somewhere in the countryside, but Jean is smiling. ‘Would you like
to see the bees?’ he asks. ‘They’re upstairs.’
I’m surprised, but I follow Jean up the stairs. On the roof of the hotel, far above the
busy streets of Paris, there is a roof garden. 2_____ I can see them flying around.
They live in six small hives made of wood, and they make honey for the hotel’s
guests. 3_____ Some people have gardens, but you don’t need much room for a
small hive. Like Jean at the hotel, people are building them on rooftops or on
balconies. In the city of Paris there are over 400 hives. It’s surprising, but research
shows that bees in the city are healthier and produce more honey than their country
cousins. Research suggests that the use of chemicals on farms, and the size of
modern farms are not good for bees. The farmers plant huge fields with just one
type of crop. 4_____ When the farmers cut their crops to sell them, the bees have
almost no food left. In the city, bees visit our parks, gardens, balconies and flower
beds. 5_____ They can produce honey for longer each year. Next time you’re in the
park, look out for bees buzzing among the flowers. There might be an urban bee
keeper in your town too!
A. In fact, more and more people in big cities are keeping bees. _____
B. Alice Jennings keeps bees at her farm in Devon. _____
C. It’s breakfast time and I’m putting some honey on my bread. _____
D. This means that bees have only one type of food. _____
E. Urban bees can have up to 250 different types of food. _____

The death of the cinema?
1_____ In the 1940s thirty million people in Britain went to the cinema regularly. It
wasn’t expensive. Ordinary working people could afford it and it was a treat for
children. It was also the place to see the news. Hundreds of cinemas opened up all
over Britain.
2_____ By the 1960s more and more homes had televisions, and cinemas started
to close. In the 1980s people watched videos. Then came satellite TV, the Internet
and computer games. By the end of the twentieth century, fewer and fewer people
went to the cinema.
3_____ New technology like 3D means that cinemas can offer something most
people can’t get at home. In 2007 the number of people going to the cinema started
to go up again. When the 3D film Avatar came out in 2009, it broke records –
millions of people went to see it at the cinema.
4_____ Now there are huge multiplex cinemas showing ten different movies, there
are drive-in cinemas and open-air screens in parks. Over 100 years after the first
movie theatres in America opened, the cinema is still evolving.
5_____ It is true that you can watch a film on the bus on your smartphone, on a
screen that is smaller than your hand. But the cinema experience, with friends,
popcorn and ice cream is a tradition we have learned to love. It seems the cinema
will be around a while longer.
A. In the second half of the century, different forms of entertainment became
popular.
B. There is something special about seeing a film in the cinema.
C. The ratings system helps parents choose which films are suitable for children.
