When the baby was lying in her arms and she moved the cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped(沮丧地喘着气). The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the hospital window. The baby had been born without ears. Luckily, time proved that the babys hearing was perfect. Though the misfortune(不幸)happened to him, he grew into a handsome boy. Yet he felt ashamed when he communicated with others.“You should get in touch with other young people,” his mother told him, with a kindness in her heart. The boys father talked with the family doctor about his ears. “Could nothing be done?” the father asked. “I believe I could give him a pair of outer ears, if they could be got,” the doctor replied.Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You are going to the hospital, Son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need, but its a secret.” The operation is a big success. Later he married and entered the diplomatic(外交的)service. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.”“You could, my son,” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to knownot yet.”The years kept their secret, but one of the darkest days did come. He stood with his father over his mothers casket(棺材). Slowly, the father stretched forth(伸出) a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears.Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut, his father whispered gently, and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?41.

If you are sitting at a table with people you dont know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops, tap water (自来水) is usually served before you order. Bread and butter may be free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill（续杯）.Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.Serving(一份) in restaurants is often large, too large for many people. If you cant finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows youre taking the food for yourself.Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there.

It killed about 200 people, injured more than 11,000 people and left hundreds homeless. Earthquakes are one of the most deadly natural disasters(灾难) in the world. They happen more often than you would expect. In the 24 hours after you read this, 400 to 500 earthquakes will shake the earth. You wont notice most of them because you live in a relatively(相对地) safe area or the quake is too far away or because the quake will be too small to notice. Earthquakes are caused by sudden breaks in rock masses(群) deep in the earth. Rock masses are always under very high pressure. If the pressure in a certain area become too much and the rock masses break, an earthquake happens. But exactly when the rock masses reach the breaking point is a mystery(谜).There is little we can do to stop natural disasters such as earthquakes from happening. But we can try to make ourselves better prepared for these disasters.What we can do when an earthquake happens? Some methods can reduce the harm they cause. The American Red Cross introduces the“Drop，Cover & Hold on ”method.Drop down onto your hands and knees. This position protects you from falling.Cover your head and neck under a strong table or desk. If there is no shelter(遮盖物) nearby，you can also stay along a wall，and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.Hold on to your shelter until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move with your shelter if the shaking shifts it around.48. What happened to the City of Yaan?A. About 200 people died in an earthquake. B. Hundreds of homeless people left the city.C.

How to help the people in the quake zoneDDear Annie, I have never written a letter to a newspaper before , I have never felt the need to do such a thing.
