All the people in our office are rushing downstairs," an office worker in Chengdu told Reuters.Telephone lines to the affected areas were jammed, reports said. The government was preparing to send rescue teams to the epicentre in Wenchuan County, state TV said.Earthquakes are common in China - in March a 7.2-magnitude quake struck in the western Xinjiang province.The area where Monday's earthquake struck lies on the eastern edge of the Tibetan plateau and is thinly-populated."Sichuan Earthquake 四川地震"Flags are flying at half-mast across China.China is coming to the end of an official period of mourning for those who died in last week’s earthquake.

Over 230,000 people were injured.Along with the many accounts of suffering and loss, there have been a few amazing stories of survival. Chinese news reported today that a woman in Hongbai has been rescued after being trapped in a tunnel for nine days. She has been taken to hospital and is expected to survive.However, hopes are quickly fading for those who remain trapped. According to the State Council over 32,000 people are missing in the quake area.The rescue workers'attention is now turning towards the recovery of bodies from the rubble and providing food, shelter and drinking water for the survivors.But the relief operation has been hampered by a series of aftershocks, the strongest measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale.Chinese news reports say that mudslides have buried 200 relief workers in the past four days. There are also reports that thousands of residents have been evacuated from an area in Qingchuan county where large cracks have appeared in the top of a mountain.On Monday, tens of thousands of people rushed from their homes after the government warned of a possible major aftershock. They slept on the streets or drove to open ground.Persistent rain is compounding the misery for the homeless. The foreign ministry has appealed to the international community to provide tents for the five million people who have lost their homes.Yesterday, Premier Wen Jiabao pledged to send 250,000 temporary housing units to the region by the end of June, and one million within three months.注：half-mast降半旗mourning哀悼suspended暂停death toll死亡人数catastrophe（突如其来的）大灾难accounts （个人）陈述，解释hopes are quickly fading 希望渺茫recoveryof bodies 找回（遇难者）尸体rubble碎石，碎砖reliefoperation营救行动aftershocks余震Richter scale 里氏震级mudslides泥流evacuated疏散open ground 开阔地，露天地persistent持续的compounding（因进一步伤害）使（坏事）更坏appealed求助pledged承诺，给予（援助）Composition--------512汶川地震英语作文《总理您别哭》Premier Wen Jiabao, earthquake relief in the frontline commander-in-chief, a session of more than 60-year-old, aftershocks continue in the disaster scene to the spirit of ecstasy in the rubble piled up on the ruins of trouble, and even save people very anxious hands.

The United States has made an urgent plea for an unprecedented global effort to fight the Ebola outbreak that's originated in West Africa. The Secretary of State John Kerry said the disease was a global crisis demanding a global response. Ali Mcbull reports from Washington.President Obama is now trying to reassure a nervous American public that fighting Ebola is, in his words, not just a public health issue, but a national security priority.But the death in Texas of 42-year-old Thomas Eric Duncan has for many raised questions about just how effectively health officials here can isolate the virus. A new screening regime including taking the temperature of visitors has been announced at five American airports that together receive over 90% of those arriving from the Ebola-affected countries of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia where Mr. Duncan arrived from in mid September. 美国迫切请求全球作出前所未有的努力，应对源于西非的埃博拉疫情。国务卿约翰·克里表示，该疾病是全球危机，需要全球作出回应。Ali Mcbull在华盛顿报道。奥巴马总统试图安抚紧张的美国公众，用他的话说，应对埃博拉病毒不只是公共健康问题，而且是全国安全要务。但是得克萨斯州42岁的邓肯(Thomas Eric Duncan)的死亡导致许多人质疑卫生官员能否有效隔离该病毒。美国五个机场宣布了新的扫描制度，包括测量旅客的体温。这五个机场接收了来自几内亚，塞拉利昂和利比亚这三个埃博拉感染国家超过90%的旅客。9月中旬，邓肯就是从这里回到美国的。
