THE NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN'T SLEEP
Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeastern Hebei. For several days, the water in the village wells rose and fell, rose and fell.There were deep cracks that appeared in the well walls. At least one well had some smelly gas coming out of it. Chickens and even pigs were too nervous to eat, and dogs refused to go inside buildings. Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide, and fish jumped out of the water. At about 3:00a.m, on 28 July 1976, bright lights were seen in the sky outside the city of Tangshan and loud noises were heard. But the city's one millin people were asleep as usual that night.
河北东北部的农村发生了奇怪的事情。一连几天，村子里的水时涨时落，时涨时落。井壁上出现了深深的裂缝。至少有一口井冒出了一些难闻的气体。鸡甚至猪都紧张得不敢吃东西，狗也拒绝进入建筑物。老鼠跑出田野寻找藏身之处，鱼跳出水面。1976年7月28日凌晨3点左右，唐山城外的天空中出现了亮光，还能听到巨大的噪音。但是那天晚上，这个城市的100万人像往常一样睡着了。

THE NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN'T SLEEP
Paragraph 2
At 3:42 a.m., everything began to shake. It seemed as if the world were coming to an end! Eleven kilometres directly below the city, one of the most deadly earthquakes of the 20th century had begun, a quake that even caused damage more than 150 kilometres away in Beiing. Nearly one third of the whole nation felt it! A huge crack, eight kilometres long and 30 metres wide, cut across houses, roads, and waterways. Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt. In less than one minute, a large city lay in ruins. Two thirds of the people who lived there were dead or injured. Thousands of children were left without parents. The number of people who were killed or badly injured in the quake was more than 400,00.
凌晨3点42分，一切开始动摇。似乎世界末日来临！在城市正下方11公里处，20世纪最严重的地震之一开始了，这场地震甚至在150多公里外的北京造成了破坏。全国近三分之一的人都感觉到了！一条8公里长、30米宽的巨大裂缝，切穿房屋、道路和水路。坚硬的岩石变成了泥土的河流。不到一分钟，一座大城市倒在了废墟中。住在那里的人有三分之二死亡或受伤。成千上万的孩子失去了父母。地震中死亡或重伤的人数超过40万。
Main idea: The terrible damage the earthquake caused

Paragraph 3
THE NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN'T SLEEP
Everywhere survivors looked, there was nothing but ruins. Nearly everything in the city was destroyed. About 75 percent of the cily's factories and buildings, 90 percent of its homes, and all of its hospitals were gone. Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves, but no wind could blow them away. Most bridges had fallen or were not safe to cross. The railway tracks were now useless pieces of metal. Tens of thousands of cows, hundreds of thousands of pigs, and millions of chickens were dead. Sand now filled the wells instead of water. People were in shock—and then, later that afternoon, another big quake shook Tangshan again. Even more buildings fell down. Water, food, and electricity were hard to get. People began to wonder how long the disaster would last.
幸存者所看之处，除了废墟什么也没有。这座城市几乎所有的东西都被摧毁了。大约75%的工厂和建筑、90%的住宅和所有的医院都消失了。砖块像红色的秋叶一样覆盖着地面，但是没有风可以把它们吹走。大多数桥梁已经倒塌或者不安全。铁轨现在是无用的金属片。数万头牛、数十万头猪和数百万只鸡死亡。沙子现在填满了水井，而不是水。人们震惊了—然后，那天下午晚些时候，唐山又发生了一次大地震。更多的建筑倒塌了。水、食物和电都很难得到。人们开始怀疑这场灾难会持续多久。
