have lost their lives in floods. in addition，many millions more have died as a result of hunger and disease. we should also not forget in many of the worlds countries drought(干旱)，serious water shortage（缺水），is a fact of life，especially in the african sahel area in the sahara desert.scientists and engineers around the world have made great advances in earthquake engineering. of course , it is impossible to move cities such as tokyo and san francisco that have been built on earthquake belts. but most often it is not the earthquake that kills people. it is the falling buildings，bridges and so on that cause deaths，and such a happening can be greatly reduced by better building programs.finally，perhaps we need to consider the natural disaster that we are causing ourselves. through our waste of natural resources , we have sped up the dying out of hundreds of plants and animals，at the same time possibly destroying our own long term surroundings(环境) for life. maybe this is one disaster that could be prevented if we are willing to act with a sense of responsibility（责任意识）.29 _people have been killed in natural disasters in the past 100 years.a9 million b11 million c10 million

weeks to train. yet, i was determined to torun.i remember back to my 7th year in school. in my first p.e. class, the teacher asked us to run laps and then hit a softball. i didnt do either well. he later told me that i was “not athletic”.the idea that i was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. when i started running in my thirties, i realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not i was athletic. it was all about the battle against my own body and mind. a test of wills!the night before my marathon, i dreamt that i couldnt even find the finish line. i woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. so i stopped to readjust. not the start i wanted!at mile 3, i passed a sign: “go for it, runners!”by mile 17, i became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. despite the pain, i stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.by mile 21, i was starving!as i approached mile 23, i could see my wife waving a sign. she is my biggest fan. she never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.i was one of the final runners to finish. but i finished! and i got a medal. in fact, i got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had. determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), i can now call myself a “marathon winner”.32.amonthbeforethemarathon,theauthor _.a.waswelltrainedb.feltafraidc.was determined to
