Main idea: On April 18, 1906, an earthquake hit San Francisc and a big fire fllwed, causing great damage t the city.
On Wednesday mrning at a quarter past five came the carthquake. A mment later, the disaster was a fact. Suth f Market Street, in the wrking-class neighburhds and in the factries, fires started. Within an hur f the first quake, the smke culd be seen 100 miles away. The sun was red in the dark sky. There was n stpping the fires. The firefighters t whm the task was given did their best but there was n way t rganise r cmmunicate. The railway tracks were nw useless and there was n water in water pipes. All f the ways man had made t keep the city safe were gne in the 30 secnds the earth mved.周三早上五點一刻,地震發(fā)生了。片刻之后,災難成了事實。在市場街以南,在工人階層社區(qū)和工廠里,大火開始了。在第一次地震的一個小時內,可以在100英里外看到煙霧。黑暗的天空中,太陽是紅色的。大火無法撲滅。接受任務的消防隊員盡了最大努力,但沒有辦法組織或溝通。鐵軌現(xiàn)在沒用了,水管里也沒有水了。在地球晃動的30秒內,人類為保護城市安全所做的所有努力都付諸東流了。
Main idea: The earthquake happened n Wednesday mrning and within an hur fires statrted. Firfighters did ther best, but in vain.
By Wednesday aftermn, half the heart f the city was gne. At that time, I watched the disaster frm a ship n the bay. Out at sea it was calm. N wind came up. Yet frm every directin—east, west, nrth, and suth—strng winds blew upn the unlucky city and thse whse hmes had nce std in its green hills.到周三下午,城市的中心地帶已經消失了一半。當時我是從海灣上的一艘船上看災難的。海上風平浪靜,沒有風。然而,從東、西、北、南四面八方,強風吹向這座不幸的城市和那些家園曾矗立在青山上的人們。
Main idea: By Wednesday aftermn, half the heart f the city was gne.

Never in all f San Francisc's histry were her peple s kind as n this night f terrr.周三晚上目睹了城市中心的毀滅。人們自己不得不把城市中一些最好的建筑變成廢墟,這樣它們就不會對街上的人構成威脅。成千上萬失去家園的人離開了這座城市,去尋找躲避火災的地方。有些人只穿著毯子,拿著他們從火災中搶救出來的東西。但是沒有打架,也沒有推搡。不知何故,這種最糟糕的災難激發(fā)了幸存者最好的一面。在整個舊金山的歷史上,從來沒有像在這個恐怖的夜晚,她的人民如此善良。

Summary writing 概要寫作 Please write a summary f the article in abut 60 wrds.
A tsunami (海嘯) was cming when we landed in Tky. Nt a natural tsunami, but a family ne. My husband, my tw stepkids (繼子女) and I arrived tired by ur lack f sleep n the flight, and my stepdaughter (繼女) and I were still nt speaking after an argument frm the day befre. T add t ur trubles, a public hliday meant there was nwhere pen fr breakfast. There we were, tgether 24/7 fr the next tw weeks.My stepsn, 11 years ld and always attached t his iPhne, is shy. Meanwhile, my 14-year-ld stepdaughter never says thank yu.Raising children tests any adult, even n a gd day. And as a step-parent, it feels like yu have t wrk twice as hard.
Yet, ver the curse f the hliday, the kids fund their rhythm. They grew up seemingly befre my eyes, gaining cnfidence with every new destinatin we visited. Japan seemed t be helping them find their identities, just as I was recnnecting with mine. On ur last night in Tky, we fund ur way t a lcal restaurant. Sitting at a small crner table, surrunded by lcals after a hard day’s wrk, we enjyed sme beautiful Japanese fd. Finally, after 10 lng days f trying t find a rhythm that suited us all, we talked.Fr nce, bnding replaced eye-rlling (翻白眼) and, instead f the usual ne-wrd reprts after a day at schl, ur cnversatin was filled with warmth and lve as we shared ur favrite vacatin experiences.
There was the mment when my stepsn jined lcals as they washed their hands and faces at a well, t cleanse themselves befre burning incense (焚香) at a temple. Or the time when my stepdaughter chased deer in a park s she culd feed them. And the time when we walked thrugh a maze f (迷宮般的) market stalls (小攤) and laneways (巷道) t find what we thught was a simple ndle restaurant, nly t be greeted by a charming garden filled with lcals sharing a meal.Over ur dinner, we cnnected tgether ur experiences like ne big puzzle and we learned mre abut what it means t be in this family.As we walked away frm ur dinner, darkness fell. The stne lanterns (石燈籠) gradually came t life, and I whispered, fr the first time in a lng time, “Thank yu.”
