问题描述:
A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN'T SLEEP
Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei.For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell,rose and fell.Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep cracks in them.A smelly gas came out of the cracks.In the farmyards,the chickens and even the pigs were too nervois to eat.Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide.Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds.At about 3:00 am on july 28,1976,some people saw bright lights in the sky.The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky.In the city,the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst.but the one million people of the city,who thiught little of these events,were asleep as usual that night.
At 3:42 am everything began to shake.It seemed as if the world was at an end!Eleven kilometres directly below the city the greatest earthquake of the 20th century had begun.It was felt in Beijing,which is more than two hundred kilometres away.One-third of the nation felt it.A huge crack that was eight kilometres long and thirty metres wide cut across houses,roads and canals.Steam burst from holes in the ground.Hard hills of rock became rivers of dir.In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins.The suffering of the people was extreme.Two-thirds of them died or were left without parents.The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000.
But how could the survivors believe it was natural?Everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed.All of the city's hospitals,75%of its factories and buildings and 90% of its homes were gone.Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves.No wind,however,could blow them away.Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for travelling.The railway tracks were now useless pieces of steel.Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again.Half a million oigs and millions of chickens were dead.Sand now filled the wells instead of water.People were shocked.Then,later that afternoon,another big quake which was almost as strong as the first one shook Tangshan.Some of the rescue workers and doctors were trapped under the ruins.More buildings fell down.Water,food,and electricity were hard to get.people begab to wonder how long the disaster would last.
All hope was not lost.Soon after the quakes,the army sent 150,000 soldiers to Tangshan to help the rescue workers.Hundreds of thousands of people were helped.The army organized teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the dead.To the north of the city,most of the 10,000 miners were rescued from the coal mines there.Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed.Fresh water was taken to the city bu train,truck and plane.Slowly,the city began to breathe again.

我来补答补充回答:
在河北东北部的农村,奇怪的事情正在发生。一连几天,村里井里的水涨了又跌,涨了又跌。井壁上出现了深深的裂缝。至少有一口井散发出难闻的气体。鸡甚至猪都紧张得吃不下东西,狗也拒绝进入建筑物。老鼠从田野里跑出来寻找藏身之处,鱼从水里跳出来。1976年7月28日凌晨3点左右,在唐山城外的天空中看到了明亮的灯光,听到了巨大的噪音。但那天晚上,这座城市的100万人口像往常一样睡着了。
凌晨3点42分,一切都开始摇晃。好像世界末日就要到了!在城市正下方11公里处,20世纪最致命的地震之一开始了,这场地震甚至在150多公里外的北京造成了破坏。全国近三分之一的人都感受到了!一条8公里长、30米宽的巨大裂缝横贯房屋、道路和水道。坚硬的岩石小山变成了泥土河流。不到一分钟,一座大城市就成了废墟。居住在那里的三分之二的人死亡或受伤。成千上万的孩子失去了父母。地震中死亡或重伤的人数超过40万。
幸存者所到之处都是一片废墟。这座城市几乎所有的东西都被摧毁了。这座城市大约75%的工厂和建筑,90%的住宅,以及所有的医院都消失了。砖块像红色的秋叶一样覆盖着地面,但没有风可以把它们吹走。大多数桥梁已经垮塌或无法安全通过。铁轨现在成了无用的金属碎片。数以万计的牛,数以万计的猪,数以百万计的鸡都死了。现在填满井里的不是水,而是沙子。人们都很震惊——然后,那天下午晚些时候,唐山又发生了一次大地震。更多的建筑物倒塌了。水、食物和电都很难弄到。人们开始怀疑这场灾难会持续多久。
但希望并没有丧失。地震发生后不久,军队派遣了15万士兵到唐山挖出被困的人并埋葬死者。1万多名医生和护士前来提供医疗服务。工人们为房屋被毁的幸存者建造了避难所。成千上万的人得到了帮助。水和食物由火车、卡车和飞机运入城市。慢慢地,这座城市又开始呼吸了。
唐山开始复苏,重新站起来了。在唐山人民的大力支持和不懈努力下,在地震废墟上建起了一个新唐山。新城已经成为700多万人口的家园,交通、工业和环境都有了很大的改善。唐山市向中国和世界证明,在灾难面前,人们必须团结起来,展现出保持积极和重建光明未来的智慧。
