The largest earthquake(magnitude 里氏 9.5)of the 20th century happened on May 22, 1960 off the coast of South Central Chile. It generated(生成)one of the most destructive Pacific-wide tsunamis(海啸). Near the generating are-a, both the earthquake and the tsunami were very much destructive, particularly in the coastal area from Concepcion to the south end of Isla Chiloe. The largest tsunami damage occurred at Isla Chiloe—the coastal area closest to the epicenter(震中). Huge tsunami waves measuring as high as 25 meters arrived within 10 to 15 minutes after the earthquake, killing at least two hundred people, sinking all the boats, and flooding half a kilometer inland. There was large damage and loss of life at Concepcion, Chile’s top industrial city. Near the city of Valdivia, the earthquake and following aftershocks generated landslides which killed 18 people. At the port city of Valparaiso, a city of 200, 000, many buildings collapsed. A total of 130, 000 houses were destroyed—one in every three in the earthquake zone and nearly 2, 000, 000 people were left homeless. Total damage losses, including to agriculture and to industry, were estimated(估计)to be over a half billion dollars. The total number of deaths related with both the tsunami and the earthquake was never found accurately for the region. Estimates of deaths reached between 490 to 57, 002 with no distinction(差别)as to how many deaths were caused by the earthquake and how many were caused by the tsunami. However, it is believed that most of the deaths in Chile were caused by the tsunami.

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must【C1】______sixty hours of service learning, 【C2】______they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community.【C3】______of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student.【C4】______a service experience, students must keep a journal(日志)and then write a【C5】______about what they have learned. Supporters claim that there are many【C6】______of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think【C7】______their own interests and become【C8】______of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that【C9】______responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team.【C10】______, students can explore possible careers【C11】______service learning. For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month. 【C12】______there are many benefits, opponents(反对者) 【C13】______problems with the new requirement. First, they【C14】______that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend【C15】______time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without【C16】______goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual’s freedom to choose. In my view, service learning is a great way to【C17】______to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers.【C18】______, I don’t believe you should force people to help others—the【C19】______to help must come from the heart. I think the best【C20】______is one that gives students choices; a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.

The establishment of the Third Reich influenced events in American history by starting a chain of events which culminated in war between Germany and the United States. The complete destruction of democracy, the persecution of Jews, the war on religion, the cruelty and barbarism of the Nazis, and especially the plans of Germany and her allies, Italy and Japan, for world conquest caused great indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war. While speaking out against Hitler’s atrocities, the American people generally favored isolationist policies and neutrality. The Neutrality Acts of 1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them. In 1937, the President was empowered to declare an arms embargo in wars between nations at his discretion. American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt’s “ quarantine the aggressor“ speech at Chicago(1937)in which he severely criticized Hitler’s policies. Germany’s seizure of Austria and the Munich Pact for the partition of Czechoslovakia(1938)also aroused the American people. The conquest of Czechoslovakia in March, 1939, was another rude awakening to the menace of the Third Reich. In August, 1939, came the shock of the Nazi-Soviet Pact and in September the attack on Poland and the outbreak of European war. The United States attempted to maintain neutrality in spite of sympathy for the democracies arrayed against the Third Reich. The Neutrality Act of 1939 repealed the arms embargo and permitted “cash and carry“ exports of arms to belligerent nations. A strong national defense program was begun. A draft act was passed(1940)to strengthen the military services. A Lend Act(1941)authorized the President to sell, exchange, or lend materials to any country deemed necessary by him for the defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain by exchanging certain overage destroyers for the right to establish American bases in British territory in the Western Hemisphere. In August, 1940, President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter, which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war. In December, 1941, Japan launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor. Immediately thereafter, Germany declared war on the United States.
