They said they created a worldwide warning system that would _______ people and give them time to prepare. The MyShake app is _______ only for Android phones.

Smart phones are _______ accelerometers (加速度感应器). These instruments measure movement, like that of a car or airplane. MyShake uses phone accelerometers to measure seismic (地震的) activity.

A smart phone sends seismic information to the app developers. If the developers receive several notifications _______, it recognizes that an earthquake might be taking place or will take place soon.

Using information sent from the app, the network then _______ the   location and strength of the quake in real time. MyShake can record magnitude 5.0 earthquakes at distances of 10 kilometers or less.

MyShake uses very _______ power, according to its developers. Only when   seismic activity is   _______ by the app does it become active and sends data to the network. The app works best when your phone is resting on a ________ surface, like a table.

In places where no such equipment ________, MyShake may be the only method of   early quake ________.   The app also shows ways to stay safer during an earthquake. The developers say it will become more effective as more people use it.

In China, the mother river is the Yellow River _____ the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own _____. Then in Dang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture _____ went overseas to Japan, _____ into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same ______.
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another famous culture was ______ on the Mesopotamian Plain ---- the Mesopotamian Civilization.
