Script
A six-year-old boy has been found alive after spending four days and five nights in an icebox that was buried under tons of ruins in Thursday’s big earthquake.
The boy, Tom, was found early yesterday in the village of Sem as rescuers were working to pull his father out of the ruins of their home.
Hearing a faint cry of “Get me out, get me out”, rescuers dug down another 1.5 meters and found the boy in the icebox. He was pronounced in a good condition, suffering only four or five slight wounds.
Tom’s eight brothers and sisters died in the earthquake, which officials say may have killed as many as 50,000 people.
By Sunday foreign doctors were leaving the earthquake areas as hope had faded of finding any more survivors.

Script
The earth is composed of several layers. The top layer of the earth is called the earth’ s crust. The earth’ s crust is divided into seven sections. These sections are called plates.
When two plates push against each other, or when two plates rub against each other, an earthquake will occur. An earthquake causes the ground above the plate to shake. The shaking is caused by the motion of two plates.
Earthquakes are likely to happen at the boundaries of the earth’s plates. Each of these plates is about 70 kilometers thick. Let’s take a look at the general boundaries of one of these seven major plates.
Take the North American plate for an example. The left boundary of this plate is the west coast of North America and the east boundary of this plate is through the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. That is, this plate extends from the west coast of North America to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Script
Nowadays motorcycling is fast becoming one of America’ s most popular sports. However, there are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. Motorcyclists frequently look dirty; in fact, they are dirty. On the road there is little to protect them from mud, insects, and bird droppings. For practical reasons they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars. For the same reason motorcyclists usually wear dark colors.
Of course the danger of motorcycling also helps account for many people’ s low opinion of the sport. Its defenders, however, claim that careful cyclists are in less danger than is commonly believed. A cyclist must drive as if no one else on the road chase him. He must pay careful attention to his driving. From that point of view, a man on a motorcycle is safer than a man in a car.
