A terrifying example of the sea’s power saw about 200,000 people die in 12 different countries at the end of 2004. The devastation (毁坏) was caused when a massive earthquake sent tsunamis smashing into India Ocean coastlines.
Communities in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Malaysia and East Africa have been destroyed by the monster waves. Whole towns were simply swept aside by the power of the water. Cars, trains and buildings could not survive, let alone the people who stood in the way.
The earthquake measured 9.0 on the Richter scale (里氏地震) and occurred off the coast of Indonesia. It was recorded as the fifth strongest since 1900. Scientists said the quake was as powerful as a million of the atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan during World War Ⅱ. "This may be the worst natural disaster in recent history, because it is affecting so many heavily populated coastal areas," said Jan Johnson, a U.N. official.
Because such waves rarely
A. the waves can be very high and destructive
B. it can move at breakneck speeds without being noticed
C. an earthquake may be triggered
D. no one can survive it

Fires，power surges，and floods，they’re all facts of life.We read about them in the morning paper and see them on the evening news．We sympathize with the victims and commiserate over their bad luck．We also shake our heads at the digital consequences-melted computers，system failures，destroyed data.Yet，somehow，many of us continue to live by that old mantra of denial：“It won’t happen to me．”Well，the truth is，at some point you’ll probably have to deal with at least one disaster．That’s just how it goes，and in most aspects of our lives we do something about it．We buy insurance．We stow away provisions．We even make disaster plans and run drills．But for some reason，computer disaster recovery is a blind spot for many of us．It shouldn’t be．Home computers contain some of our most important information，both business and personal，and making certain our data survives a disaster should be a priority．Moreover，even the sma
