Two Earthquakes in Two Months:

Comparing the Quakes in Haiti  （海地）and Chile  （智利）

Overview  （概要）How do the earthquakes in Chile and Haiti compare? Here, students perform a gallery walk to learn more about the earthquakes from a specific point, and then do a specific research and presentation project or response activity．Finally, they seek answers to their unanswered questions．

Materials Print copies of photographs, charts, documents and other visuals to display, as described below; computer  （s）with Internet access  （optional）, research materials, handouts．

Warm-up Choose and prepare a “gallery” of photographs, graphics, news reports and other materials to display around the room to enable students to consider the 2010 earthquake in Chile．

Depending on course program, choose materials for the gallery that provide a window on the two quakes, through one of the following specific points, or the focus of your choice:

Earthquakes through History Putting the 2010 Chilean and Haitian quakes into historical view related to other earthquakes, including the 1960 Chilean quake and the 2004 Asian earthquake and tsunami．

Rescue and Aid Considering domestic and international response to the disasters by militaries, governments and aid organizations, including rescue and recovery as well as efforts to provide food, water, health care and shelter to those affected．

Related The article Underwater Plate Cuts 400 Mile Gash compares several earthquakes:

Mr. Lin figured that the quake on Saturday was 250 to 350 times more powerful than the Haitian quake．

       But Paul Caruso noted that at least on land, the effects of the Chilean tremor  （震動(dòng)）might not be as bad．For one thing, he said, the quality of building construction is generally better in Chile than in Haiti．And the fact that the quake occurred offshore should also help limit the destruction．In Haiti, the rupture  （斷裂）occurred only a few miles from the capital, Port-au-Prince．The rupture on Saturday was centered about 60 miles from the nearest town, Chillan, and 70 miles from the country’s second-largest city, Concepción．

Read the article using the following questions．

       Questions For discussion with others and reading comprehension:

How does the 2010 Chilean earthquake compare to the 1960 Chilean earthquake?

How does the 2010 Chilean earthquake compare to the 2004 Indonesian earthquake?

What reasons do scientists give to explain why the Indonesian quake caused so much more damage than the recent Chilean earthquake?

On a Chinese New Year’s Eve, my uncle spoke to me in Chinese, but all I could do was    5   at him, confused, scratching my head. “Still can’t speak Chinese?” He    6  me, “You can’t even buy a fish in Chinatown .”

I found the fish    10   surrounded in a sea of customers. “I’d like to buy some fresh fish,” I shouted to the fishman. But he     11    my English words and turned to serve the next customer.

Should I laugh or cry. They‘re Chinese. I’m Chinese. I should feel right at     17   . Instead, I was the joke , a disgrace（丟臉）to the language.

In the United States, there were some well-constructed houses for native Indians, ranging from the simple brush shelter to the five-storied pueblo.

    In the eastern United States, one of the existing types was that commonly know under the Algonkian name of wigwam in which the Iroquois Indians lived．The wigwams were of wagon-top shape with straight sides and ends, made by bending young trees to form the round shape. Over this shape pieces of tree bark were laid to protect the Indians from bad weather. Over the bark dried grass was added．A small hole allowed smoke to escape from the top. Doorways at each end served also as windows, The Iroquois Indians built trunk walls all around their villages. The wall had only one opening. They could quickly close this opening if their enemies came near.

    Interestingly, the Choctaw Indians in Mississippi also lived in a wigwam of a most primitive（原始的）construction, but different from those of the Iroquois Indians. The Choctaw Indians’ wigwams, made from mud, cane and straw, were in the form of a bee-hive. The covering was made of a long, tough grass. A post in the centre supported the roof. A hole in the top admitted the light, and allowed the smoke to pass out.

    The tipi tent-housing of the upper lake and plains area was put up with poles set lightly in the ground, tied together near the top, and covered with bark and grass in the lake country. It was easily portable, and two women could set it up or take it down within an hour.

    The Pawnee, Mandan and other Indian tribes （部落）along the Missouri built solid ring-shaped structures of trunk, covered with earth and dried grass, housing a dozen families.

    The Wichita and other tribes of the Texas border built large ring-shaped houses covered with dried grass.

  Apart from the regular housing, almost every tribe had some style of housing.

1. Which of the following pictures shows the house for the Iroquois Indians？

A． 　　　　　 B．

C． D．

2. According to the passage, the Pawnee Indians built their houses _____.

A．with openings in the trunk walls            B．large enough for several families

3.　All the native Indian houses described in the passage were_____.

A．of the same shape                         　    B．covered with grass 

C．built with a post in the centre  　　　　D．built with doorways at each end

4. The passage suggests that ________

A．a(chǎn)ll the native Indians built trunk walls all around their houses 

B．a(chǎn)ll the native Indian houses were built with poles tied together

C．the Iroquois Indians took safety into account while building their wigwams

1．The debate has been raging for years over the safety of, and necessity for, childhood vaccinations, which has been so much so that it is termed "The Vaccine War"．The debate has only a few moments that might be inspiring to those who have been following this now familiar issue．

2．There are certainly benefits of using a star in a film．It makes the film easier to market．Stars also help sell more tickets and drive DVD sales, which are a big part of studio revenue．However, a star does not guarantee success．The simple fact is that if you pay a star a great deal of money for a film that people don't want to see, then it won't work．

3．They are barely in their twenties and are already multimillionaires．At the age when many people are looking for their first job, the youngsters of The Sunday Times Rich List are buying country estates or jetting off to their overseas homes．Daniel Radeliffe, for example, who plays Harry Potter, has a fortune of ￡42 million, at 20．

4．Millions of jobless Americans, who might be suffering in anxiety and lacking a sense of security, are showing up at emergency rooms of state-owned hospitals, contributing to a longer waiting time and a higher risk of cursory treatment by overworked doctors and nurses．

5．Alice Miller, a psychology expert, who died at 87 at home in Provence, France, on April 14, repositioned the family as a central place of abnormal psychological function with her theory that parental power and punishment lay at the root of nearly all human problems．

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.

      Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

    An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom learning. It can last anywhere from one to six years, but four years is typical for most. An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman--someone who has done the job for many years. The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires. Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking.

    One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything. The companies that hire them pay for school. What's more, it offers apprentices an "earn while you learn" opportunity. They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman, and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies. Near the end of the apprenticeship, their wages are usually 90 percent of what a journeyman would receive. Apprenticeship also pays off for employers. It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from.

    Despite the advantages, apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night, which leaves little time for anything else. Sometimes, they might be laid off（下崗）if business for the employers is slow.

    Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen, they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again. Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with; others go onto different companies or become self-employed contractors.
