My mother and I (stay) in a town near Pompeii. The earth shook these days. That night, I was sleeping when the ground (shake) very hard. My mother rushed into my room to wake me up. We had to stay outside for the night. My mother was so scared. She didn't shut her eyes for even one second. By six o'clock the next morning, many buildings were still shaking. We decided (leave) the town.
The road was (crowd). We were at a place out of town. Just then, shocking things happened. Our coach couldn't go straight ahead. It began to move from side to side. The sea moved back suddenly, and many sea animals were left on the sand.
We noticed very dark cloud over Mount Vesuvius. Soon, the cloud moved down and covered the sea. My mother asked me to continue without her, but I refused to leave her behind. We moved on the cloud was spreading over the land like a flood. It turned day night. The air was thick with smoke and ash began to fall in heavy showers. All around (we), women were calling, children were crying and men were shouting. People were trying to find their families in the dark.
(Thank), after a while, the daylight returned! Everything was covered in ash, like the snow in winter. After a night of living between hope and fear, we had no (think) of things to come.
Pliny the Younger

During the 2021 Shanghai Fashion Week, a young, slim and 1 (confidence) woman with an iron leg 2
(draw) everyone's attention. Her name was Niu Yu. She lost her right leg in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. She was only 11 years old then.
Niu Yu used to be in the sports team. She loved running in the school. But the disaster broke her dream. She had to live with 3 artificial leg. It wasn't comfortable, and her leg often bled. People's curious eyes made her even 4 (comfortable). She always tried to hide her leg under jeans or dresses.
With the support of her family and friends, Niu Yu slowly came out from the shadows. In 2018, right before her 5
(twenty-one) birthday, she decided to stop 6 (hide) her leg. To her surprise, she received lots of 7 (encourage) words. She also finished a half marathon in about 4 hours. She completed the hard 10-year journey of finding herself again.
Now Niu Yu shares her story on social media. She listens to disaster 8 (survivor) and encourages them to look forward. In 2023, she carried the torch at the FISU World University Games. "It is a great honour for me," she said. "But it is also a good chance 9 (show) people the power of being brave."
A disaster can bring a lot of pain. But we should always face it with courage. 10 the writer Nora Ephron once said "Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim. "

Can animals sense earthquakes and other natural disasters before they happen Is there any real science
behind this idea
As far back as 373 B．C．, the ancient Greeks noticed that snakes would “behave strangely days before a
big earthquake”. However, there isn’t enough scientific support that animals can sense earthquakes, at least not
days before they happen.
When an earthquake happens, it produces two kinds of energy waves. The smaller one is called a Primary
Wave, or “P wave”. It arrives a couple of minutes before the larger Secondary Wave, or “S wave”. The “P wave”
travels faster because it can move through solid (固体的) things, water and air, while the “S wave” can only pass
through solid things. Very few people notice the “P wave”, but animals often can, thanks to their good senses.
With their excellent sense of smell, some wild animals can tell when a fire is burning nearby. But it’s
impossible for them to have a premonition of when and where fires will start ahead of time. With the world
getting warmer and warmer, wildfires become more common. It is harder than ever for animals to live through
these disasters.
A new study suggests that some birds may be able to sense storms much earlier than humans. The
researchers studied veeries (棕色夜鸫), a kind of songbird. In certain years, these birds finished their breeding
season (繁殖期) and began moving to South America earlier than usual. Those years turned out to have longer
and more serious hurricane (飓风) seasons. The researchers consider the birds’ unusual behavior to be a sign of
storms. But we need more research to make sure of this.
