No card came with it. Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the senders name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. Shed ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail Id delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.One month before my graduation, my father died.

But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable.

Japan is one of them, while others do not have many, for example, there are few earthquakes in Britain.There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates（颤动）. Houses fall down. Railways are broken, which causes trains to run off. Sometimes thousands of people are killed in different ways. About 60,000 were killed in 1783 in the south of Italy. Some people say that earthquakes often happen near volcanoes（火山）, but this is not true. The centres of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast（海岸） is shaken and great waves appear. These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it, breaking down houses and other buildings. Sometimes they break more buildings than the earthquake itself.A terrible earthquake happened in Assam, India, in 1986. The land near Shillong suddenly moved 1.5 feet to one side, and then back again. It continued to act like this 20 times a minute. Few buildings could stand what was happening and the great stones flew four feet up into the air. What kind of building stays up best in an earthquake? The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake at San Francisco（1906）and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete（水泥）walls together by steel frames. Such are the buildings that cant burn or fall easily.32. The best title of this passage should be _.A. The Centres of Earthquakes B. EarthquakesC. The Loss Caused by Earthquakes D. Buildings and Earthquakes33. Earthquakes often happen _.A. near volcanoes B. in JapanC. in Britain D. Both A and B34. _ makes more loss than the earthquake itself.A. Nothing B. VolcanoesC.
