It is sad but true that people die in earthquakes{#blank#}1{#/blank#}falling furniture and bricks. Earthquake{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(safe) is very important and there is more to it{#blank#}3{#/blank#}just keeping buildings from falling down. So if your home is in an earthquake area, you should prepare carefully before the earthquake{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(come).

    First, make sure you buy a house which is earthquake safe. All pipes should be fixed to the walls and all walls should be{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(especial) thick and strong. Make sure the building has no{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(break) windows and is well repaired.

    Second, look at the objects in your house. Objects{#blank#}7{#/blank#}computers, televisions and lamps can be tied to tables or{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(stick) to them so they won't easily move around. The cupboards,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}many small things are stored, should have strong doors. Always remember,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(good) safe than sorry.

    Wuzhen Water Town is a typical ancient town in southern China. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(lie) in the northern part of Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province, it can be easily accessed {#blank#}2{#/blank#}a number of express ways. On a recent business trip to Shanghai, a local friend {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (invite)me to Wuzhen.

    It was 9:00 am when we arrived there. With its houses made of black bricks and gray tiles (瓦) against the white walls, the small town is like a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (tradition) Chinese ink wash drawing. Wandering along the riverside, you will be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (deep) impressed by the great scenery and slow lifestyle. During lunchtime, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (treat) to the steamed white fish, a well-known dish served at most{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (restaurant) in Wuzhen. It tasted so good. But I think it is the combination of culture and food that makes it so outstanding.

    After lunch, we continued our walk, enjoying the sights and learning about its history, a history {#blank#}8{#/blank#}is full of good stories and unique traits (特色).

    It's really fortunate for anybody {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (explore) such a beautiful place. We hope there will be {#blank#}10{#/blank#}second chance to visit this wonderful town!
