One person was killed, and nine were badly injured and taken to the hospital. A number of other people received small    3     (injure).

A farmer said the storm began early in the morning and     5    (last) over an hour. He was in the kitchen with his wife and children    6     they heard a loud noise. A few minutes later, their house fell down on top of them.

They managed to climb out, but then he saw that one of his children was    7    (miss). He went back inside and found him safe but very    8    (frighten)

Most of us know to stay low to the floor if we are caught in a fire, or head to the basement if a tornado’s coming, or board up the window in a hurricane. But, the massive earthquake that hit Haiti this month was a reminder that we are far     1     (expert) in what to do when the ground below us shakes. If we are in a house or building, for example, our first impulse might be to run outside— but, counter-intuitive (违反直觉的)     2     it might sound, experts warn against that since people are too often killed by falling debris as they try to escape.

Given how many of us travel in quake-prone regions today, even folks     3     don’t reside in California should know how to survive an earthquake. But there are two different and     4     (compete) schools of thought on the matter, both of which are considered valid but perhaps not always in the same situations.

The most conventional and widely accepted by the disaster-response community, is the “drop, cover and hold on” approach,     5     urges people to take cover beneath something like a heavy table     6     (avoid) falling objects. The second, newer method is known as “the triangle of life.” It recommends lying down in a fetal (胎儿的) position not under but next to furniture, as roofs and wall collapse atop those sofas and desks, buffer spaces are created that protect people from     7     (crush).

Over the past decade, an agreement has been reached     8     “drop, cover and hold on” is a more appropriate method for developed countries like the U. S, where improved construction     9     (reduce) the likelihood of structures collapsing greatly. The triangle of life is thought to be more appropriate in developing nations like Haiti, where poor building codes make finding a “survivable void” inside a collapsed building more important than protecting yourself from falling chandeliers. If you’re going to play the odds, drip-and-cover     10     be the best way to go, but a lot of emergency re-sponders might say triangle-of-life because they are the ones who see the fatalities in buildings that do collapse.
