A great earthquake (地震) happened on July 28, 1976 in Tangshan, China. 250,000 persons died in it. It also cut off electricity and water supply, many house caught fire and a great many people lost their homes (become homeless). We can not stop it but we can do something to avoid suffering a great loss again. We can't build houses along the lines where earth's two of the plates join together. We must build them on rock not on sand. And the buildings have to be made as strong as possible.

A friend of mine, while visiting his mother in Florida, took her to a shoe store to buy a new pair of shoes. While she was trying on different styles, my friend took the manager aside. "When she picks out a pair that she likes," he said, "just tell her that the price is 12 dollars. I'll pay the regular price, whatever it is."
The following week, my friend was walking by the shoe store and the manager recognized him and called him in.
"What's the problem?" asked my friend as he entered the store. "Wasn't my check any good?"
