Unit 4EarthquakesNew life in Wenchuan 10 years after the 2008 earthquake 2008年5月12日14时28分，一场大地震让汶川很多受难者的人生发生了改变，同时也牵动了无数人的心。

逝者已矣，但生者的故事仍在继续。

十年已经过去，他们仍旧凭借着勇气与坚强，奋力拼搏着。

Wenchuan is in southwest China's Sichuan Province. Its beauty has made it a popular tourism place.But ten years ago, Wenchuan suffered an 8.0­magnitude (八级的) earthquake, which damaged an area of over 100,000 square kilometers, killing close to 70,000 people and injuring more than 370,000. Ten years later, however, we can hardly see a trace (踪迹) of the disaster in this place.Xue Xiao is among the survivors of the earthquake. He was trapped under the ruin of his high school for several days following the earthquake. When asked during the rescue what he wanted to do when he got out, he replied, “I want a Coke.” His words moved the people across the country watching the rescue on television, and he got the nickname “Coke boy.”As a result of his serious injuries, Xue lost his right arm, and in fact, he couldn't drink Coke for months after the surgery (手术). But his strong personality carried him out of the sad memory of the disaster. He now works for the Coca­Cola Museum in Chengdu.Ten years after the Wenchuan earthquake, the area has found new life, which is reflected (反映) in every person across the quake­hit place.I visited Wenchuan several years ago and interviewed a man by the name of Wang Caifeng in Shuimo Town. Wang, who has only his left arm, managed to help rescue several villagers in the town.Before the earthquake, there were a lot of factories around Wang's home. After the disaster, the town has developed its tourism industry. In 2011, Wang turned his house into a hotel.The people in Wenchuan have also been developing eco­friendly agriculture (农业) to find a new and better life with the help of fruits and foods produced in the area.Unquestionably, the courage of the people has not been destroyed by the past disaster. In the survivors, we see the power of moving on and never giving up.短文注释：1．square kilometers平方千米2．close to 将近；差不多3．get the nickname 得到昵称4．as a result of 由于5．the quake­hit place 灾区6．manage to do 成功做到7．turn... into... 将……变成……8．In the survivors, we see the power of moving on and never giving up.在幸存者身上，我看到一种力量——继续下去，永不放弃。

TSUNAMI HITS ASIA: OVER 6, 500 DEADBy Robert Woodhouse Monday, 27 December 2004The most powerful earthquake in the past 40 years caused a tsunami that crashed into coastlines across Asia yesterday, killing more than 6,500 people in Indonesia, India, Thailand, Malaysia, and at least four other countries. Fishermen, tourists, hotels, homes, and cars were swept away by huge waves caused by the strong earthquake that reached a magnitude of 9.0. The undersea quake struck around 7:00 a.m., Sunday off the west coast of Indonesia’s Sumatra Island. In that area alone, at least 1,870 people were killed.In Sri Lanka, some 1,600 kilometres west of the quake centre, the number of deaths stood at 2,498, and one million more were affected by the tsunami, government officials said. Indian officials said as many as 1,900 had been killed along the southern coast. Another 254 were found dead in Thailand and 54 in three other countries. In southern Thailand, 1,900 people were hurt and many more were missing, local officials said. “I was having breakfast with my three children when water started filling my home. We had to leave everything and run to safety,”said Chandra Theeravit, a local Thai woman.Thousands of people are still missing, and the number of deaths is expected to grow even higher over the next few days. Foreign aid is being organised for the tsunami-hit countries. However, dangerous conditions and damaged roads will make it difficult to deliver food and supplies.海啸袭击亚洲：6500余人丧生罗伯特·伍德侯斯2004年12月27日，星期一昨日，40年来最为强烈的地震引发了冲击亚洲沿海地带的海啸，造成印度尼西亚、印度、泰国、马来西亚和至少其他四个国家6500多人死亡。
