Introduction：Natural disasters occur throughout the world, and China, as you probably know, has a particular problem with earthquakes. In the last century five of the ten worst earthquakes happened in China. Although it is important for us students to understand the dangers people face in a quake, it is just as important for us to realize that there are things that can be done to minimize(降低) the damage caused by quakes. For this reason, this unit keeps a positive tone or outlook(观点). It includes exercises and tasks that enable us to think about how to avoid earthquakes, or at least some of the damage they can cause. This unit also lets us role-play community work that deals with disaster relief(救援).Vocabulary第一部分：预习案1.请大声朗读下面的词汇earthquake burst million event nation canal steam ruin suffering extreme injure destroy brick useless shock restore trap electricity disaster bury mine shelter reporter damage frighten congratulation judge sincerely express outline headline cyclist right away in ruins at an end a (great) number of请同学们用红笔标出自己在发音中存在困难的单词。
