教材分析
本单元对话引出地震这个话题。对话中提到了地震的时候的现象和人的感受。本单元的阅读课文是了解发生在San Francisco地区的严重地震场景和有关地震发生时的基本常识。同时在文章里有一些重要的语法知识，如定语从句的使用：A wide and busy road which was built like a bridge over another road fell onto the one below. etc.
重点知识讲解：
1.What does "quake" means , as in the word "earthquake"?
像" earthquake" 这个词中的quake是什么意思？
As in the word "earthquake" 是个省略结构，完整的说法为：as it does in the word "earthquake". as 在此为连词，表示“如“的意思。
It sounded like a train that was going under my house. 那声音听起来就像有一列火车在我的房子底下开过似的。
sound 为系动词，后接名词、介词短语做表语，意思是“听起来”。
Your idea sounds (like ) a good one.你的注意听起来不错。
What he said sounded like a fairy-tale.他所说的话听起来就像神话故事。
表示“听起来像什么”的时候，用sound like….。like 在此是介词表示“像”的意思。类似于sound的常用系动词还有：feel, taste, smell, look.
例如：
Cotton feels very soft. 棉花摸起来很柔软。
It looks like a beautiful picture. 那看上去就像一幅美丽的画。
2.I was in the kitchen cooking something and I felt the floor move. 我当时正在厨房里作饭，我觉得地板动了一下。
cooking something 在本句中为现在分词短语做伴随状语。
句中的move是省略了to 的不定式，做宾语补足语。动词feel的宾语补足语可以是动词原形，也可以是动词的ing形式或过去分词形式。
例如：
When I heard his words, I felt my heart beating faster.听了他的话，我感到心跳加快了。
He felt someone knock at the door. 他感到有人敲了一下门。
he boy felt his back patted by someone. 那个男孩子感到有人拍了他的脊背。
3. And then I watched all the glasses on the table fall off onto the floor. 后来我观察到桌子上所有玻璃杯子掉到了地板上。
辨析：fall off / fall down
fall off 表示“从。。。。上落下或掉下”。off为介词或副词。fall down的意思是“倒塌、掉下”，不强调落物的来处。
例如：
I saw him fall off his horse.我看到他从马上掉了下来。
Flowers fell off to the ground. 花儿凋谢了，落到了地上。
Autumn comes and leaves are falling off the trees. 秋天到了，落叶纷纷。
A stone fell down in the earthquake. 一块石头落了下来，砸中了他。
The old house fell down in the earthquake. 老房子在地震中倒塌了。
4.A great part of the city was destroyed and a large number of buildings were burnt.城市的大部分地区被摧毁，许许多多建筑物被火吞噬。
A number of 相当于many.意思为“许多”，后跟可数名词的复数形式。短语中的number前可以由large / small来修饰，构成a large / great / small number of 短语。
例如：
1）A number of people were killed in the traffic accident. 有许多人在那场车祸中丧生。
2）A large number of students went to see Mr. Zhang when he was ill.张老师生病的时候有许多的学生去看望他。
Only a small number of people are against this plan.只有少数人反对这个计划。
辨析：a number of / the number of
a number of 意思为“许多”。中心词为of后面的复数形式。
the number of 的意思为 “…的数量”，中心词为number，因此，“the number of +复数名词”，做主语时谓语动词为单数第三人称形式。
例如：
The number of books in our library is going up.我们图书馆里的藏书数量正在上升。
The number of the students in our class is 57. 我们班的学生人数为57人。
A number of students are playing football on the playground. 许多的学生在操场上踢足球。
5.The number of people who lost homes reached as many as 250000. 无家可归的人数达到25万。
短语“as many as” 意思为“和…一样多，多达”，修饰可数名词；as much as 与as many as 意思相同，但是修饰不可数名词。类似的表达法还有：
as long as 长达 as high as 高达 as wide as 宽达
The great fire burned down as many as twenty buildings. 那场大火烧毁的房屋达到20之多。
He lost as much as 1000 yuan . 他丢的钱多达1000元。
The film lasts as long as two hours. 这部电影长达2个小时。
The mountain reaches as high as 2000 metres. 那座山高达2000米。
The road is as wide as 10 metres. 这条路宽达10米。
6.辨析：as / when / while
这三个词都有“当……的时候”的意思。但用法稍有不同。
as强调“一边……一边……”或是“与……同时，侧重表示主句的动作同时发生。
when既可以表示时间地点也可以表示时间段。
while只表示时间段，不表示时间点。它后面必须是延续性的动词，而且多为进行时态。当从句的谓语的动词为延续性动词时三者都可以替换使用。
例如：
When I got home, he was having supper. 我到家的时候，他正在吃晚饭。
I liked dancing when I was young. 我年轻时喜欢跳舞。
They talked as they walked. 他们边走边谈。
A thief broke in as / while / when I was sleeping.在我睡觉的时候小偷闯了进来。
While / When/ As we were still laughing, the teacher came in. 当我们仍还在大笑，老师进来了。
Strike the iron while it is hot. 趁热打铁。
8.A wide and busy road which was built like a bridge over another road fell into the one below,. Many people were killed in their cars, but a few lucky ones were not hurt.一座以立交桥车辆川流不息的马路塌陷到桥下面的路面上。很多人被压死在自己的车里，但是也有少数幸运的人没有受伤。
这两个句子中one(s)是代词，用来代替或是避免重复上文提到的名词。one只可替代可数名词，其复数形式为ones. 第一句中的one代替road，第二句中的ones代替people。
例如：
If the earthquake is a big one, a great part of the city will be destroyed. 如果那是个大地震的话，城市的大部分地区将要被毁掉。
I would like a pound of apples, the red ones. 我要一英镑苹果，红苹果。
He had no excuse for his being late, but he had to fine one. 他迟到找不着借口，但是他必须找一个。
If you don't like these cups, I have other ones. 要是你不喜欢这些杯子，我还有别的。
9.Third, you must make the houses as strong as possible. 第三，应该把房屋建的尽可能结实。
As…as possible是个固定搭配，中间可加形容词或副词，意思为“尽可能的…”。
例如：
He had his breakfast as quickly as possible. 他尽可能快的吃了早饭。
Please come as early as possible tomorrow. 明天请尽可能早来。
They keep the classroom as clean as possible.他们尽可能的保持教室清洁。
12.Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake , but strong ones may stay up. 不结实的建筑物会在地震中倒塌，而结实的建筑物则可能安然无恙。
短语stay up 的意思是“挺立，站立，熬夜”等。
例如：
You must stay up in time of difficulty. 困难面前你必须要挺住。
He stayed up all night. 他通宵未睡。
He has been working for almost a whole day, but he can stay up. 他干了快一整天了，但是还是挺得住。
10.time表示倍数的用法
在此句中表示倍数，其前面的数词用基数词。常用的倍数表示法有以下几种：
1.A is three (four/ five….) times bigger (more/ longer/ higher….) than B. A 比B大（多/高/长…）三（四/五…）倍。
例如：
The new bridge is three times longer then the old one. 新桥比旧桥长三倍。
At least the train runs six times faster then the boat. 火车的速度至少比小船快6倍。
The meeting-room is four times bigger than ours. 这个会议室比我们的大四倍。
2.A is three ( four/ five…) times as big (much/ many/ long/ high…) as B. A比B大（多/长/高。。。）两倍或者是A是B的三（四/五……）倍大（多/长/高……）
例如：
Line A is five times as long as Line B. 线段A比线段B长四倍。（或是线段A是线段B的五倍长）
Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲比欧洲大三倍。
This building is three times as high as that one. 这栋楼房比那一栋高2倍。
3. A is three ( four/ five….) times the size ( amount/ length/ height…) of B. A比B大（多/长/高……）两（三/四……）倍或是A是B的三（四/五……）倍大（多/长/高……）。
例如：
Line A is four times the length of Line B. 线段A比线段B长四倍。
This building is three times the height of that one.这栋楼房比那栋高2倍。
如果表示“A比B大（多/ 长/高。。。）一倍“用twice，而且用第一种表示法。
例如：
Bob is twice heavier than Jack. 鲍博比杰克重一倍。
This road is twice longer than that one.这条路比那条路长一倍。
11.语法——定语从句
关系代词who, whom, that 和which引导的定语从句。
在句子中修饰名词或代词的从句为定语从句。定语从句所修饰的词叫先行词，定语从句一般修饰跟在先行词的后面。如果先行词指人，关系代词可用who, whom, that.如果先行词指物，关系代词可用which或是that。关系代词who, whom, that 和which既起连接作用，又在定语从句中充当一定成分（在定语从句中作主语或是宾语）。关系代词在从句中作宾语时常常可以省略，但是作主语时不能省略。Whom 在从句中作宾语时用，但是在口语或非正式文体中，常用who来代替whom。
例如：
A plane is a machine which/ that can fly.飞机是会飞行的机器。
The book (which/ that ) you want is on my desk.你要的那本书在我的书桌上。
Anybody who/ that breaks the rules is punished.任何违反规定的人都要受到惩罚。

教材分析
本单元对话引出地震这个话题。对话中提到了地震的时候的现象和人的感受。本单元的阅读课文是了解发生在San Francisco地区的严重地震场景和有关地震发生时的基本常识。同时在文章里有一些重要的语法知识，如定语从句的使用：A wide and busy road which was built like a bridge over another road fell onto the one below. etc.
重点知识讲解：
1.What does "quake" means , as in the word "earthquake"?
像" earthquake" 这个词中的quake是什么意思？
As in the word "earthquake" 是个省略结构，完整的说法为：as it does in the word "earthquake". as 在此为连词，表示“如“的意思。
It sounded like a train that was going under my house. 那声音听起来就像有一列火车在我的房子底下开过似的。
sound 为系动词，后接名词、介词短语做表语，意思是“听起来”。
Your idea sounds (like ) a good one.你的注意听起来不错。
What he said sounded like a fairy-tale.他所说的话听起来就像神话故事。
表示“听起来像什么”的时候，用sound like….。like 在此是介词表示“像”的意思。类似于sound的常用系动词还有：feel, taste, smell, look.
例如：
Cotton feels very soft. 棉花摸起来很柔软。
It looks like a beautiful picture. 那看上去就像一幅美丽的画。
2.I was in the kitchen cooking something and I felt the floor move. 我当时正在厨房里作饭，我觉得地板动了一下。
cooking something 在本句中为现在分词短语做伴随状语。
句中的move是省略了to 的不定式，做宾语补足语。动词feel的宾语补足语可以是动词原形，也可以是动词的ing形式或过去分词形式。
例如：
When I heard his words, I felt my heart beating faster.听了他的话，我感到心跳加快了。
He felt someone knock at the door. 他感到有人敲了一下门。
he boy felt his back patted by someone. 那个男孩子感到有人拍了他的脊背。
3. And then I watched all the glasses on the table fall off onto the floor. 后来我观察到桌子上所有玻璃杯子掉到了地板上。
辨析：fall off / fall down
fall off 表示“从。。。。上落下或掉下”。off为介词或副词。fall down的意思是“倒塌、掉下”，不强调落物的来处。
例如：
I saw him fall off his horse.我看到他从马上掉了下来。
Flowers fell off to the ground. 花儿凋谢了，落到了地上。
Autumn comes and leaves are falling off the trees. 秋天到了，落叶纷纷。
A stone fell down in the earthquake. 一块石头落了下来，砸中了他。
The old house fell down in the earthquake. 老房子在地震中倒塌了。
4.A great part of the city was destroyed and a large number of buildings were burnt.城市的大部分地区被摧毁，许许多多建筑物被火吞噬。
A number of 相当于many.意思为“许多”，后跟可数名词的复数形式。短语中的number前可以由large / small来修饰，构成a large / great / small number of 短语。
例如：
1）A number of people were killed in the traffic accident. 有许多人在那场车祸中丧生。
2）A large number of students went to see Mr. Zhang when he was ill.张老师生病的时候有许多的学生去看望他。
Only a small number of people are against this plan.只有少数人反对这个计划。
辨析：a number of / the number of
a number of 意思为“许多”。中心词为of后面的复数形式。
the number of 的意思为 “…的数量”，中心词为number，因此，“the number of +复数名词”，做主语时谓语动词为单数第三人称形式。
例如：
The number of books in our library is going up.我们图书馆里的藏书数量正在上升。
The number of the students in our class is 57. 我们班的学生人数为57人。
A number of students are playing football on the playground. 许多的学生在操场上踢足球。
5.The number of people who lost homes reached as many as 250000. 无家可归的人数达到25万。
短语“as many as” 意思为“和…一样多，多达”，修饰可数名词；as much as 与as many as 意思相同，但是修饰不可数名词。类似的表达法还有：
as long as 长达 as high as 高达 as wide as 宽达
The great fire burned down as many as twenty buildings. 那场大火烧毁的房屋达到20之多。
He lost as much as 1000 yuan . 他丢的钱多达1000元。
The film lasts as long as two hours. 这部电影长达2个小时。
The mountain reaches as high as 2000 metres. 那座山高达2000米。
The road is as wide as 10 metres. 这条路宽达10米。
6.辨析：as / when / while
这三个词都有“当……的时候”的意思。但用法稍有不同。
as强调“一边……一边……”或是“与……同时，侧重表示主句的动作同时发生。
when既可以表示时间地点也可以表示时间段。
while只表示时间段，不表示时间点。它后面必须是延续性的动词，而且多为进行时态。当从句的谓语的动词为延续性动词时三者都可以替换使用。
例如：
When I got home, he was having supper. 我到家的时候，他正在吃晚饭。
I liked dancing when I was young. 我年轻时喜欢跳舞。
They talked as they walked. 他们边走边谈。
A thief broke in as / while / when I was sleeping.在我睡觉的时候小偷闯了进来。
While / When/ As we were still laughing, the teacher came in. 当我们仍还在大笑，老师进来了。
Strike the iron while it is hot. 趁热打铁。
8.A wide and busy road which was built like a bridge over another road fell into the one below,. Many people were killed in their cars, but a few lucky ones were not hurt.一座以立交桥车辆川流不息的马路塌陷到桥下面的路面上。很多人被压死在自己的车里，但是也有少数幸运的人没有受伤。
这两个句子中one(s)是代词，用来代替或是避免重复上文提到的名词。one只可替代可数名词，其复数形式为ones. 第一句中的one代替road，第二句中的ones代替people。
例如：
If the earthquake is a big one, a great part of the city will be destroyed. 如果那是个大地震的话，城市的大部分地区将要被毁掉。
I would like a pound of apples, the red ones. 我要一英镑苹果，红苹果。
He had no excuse for his being late, but he had to fine one. 他迟到找不着借口，但是他必须找一个。
If you don't like these cups, I have other ones. 要是你不喜欢这些杯子，我还有别的。
9.Third, you must make the houses as strong as possible. 第三，应该把房屋建的尽可能结实。
As…as possible是个固定搭配，中间可加形容词或副词，意思为“尽可能的…”。
例如：
He had his breakfast as quickly as possible. 他尽可能快的吃了早饭。
Please come as early as possible tomorrow. 明天请尽可能早来。
They keep the classroom as clean as possible.他们尽可能的保持教室清洁。
12.Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake , but strong ones may stay up. 不结实的建筑物会在地震中倒塌，而结实的建筑物则可能安然无恙。
短语stay up 的意思是“挺立，站立，熬夜”等。
例如：
You must stay up in time of difficulty. 困难面前你必须要挺住。
He stayed up all night. 他通宵未睡。
He has been working for almost a whole day, but he can stay up. 他干了快一整天了，但是还是挺得住。
10.time表示倍数的用法
在此句中表示倍数，其前面的数词用基数词。常用的倍数表示法有以下几种：
1.A is three (four/ five….) times bigger (more/ longer/ higher….) than B. A 比B大（多/高/长…）三（四/五…）倍。
例如：
The new bridge is three times longer then the old one. 新桥比旧桥长三倍。
At least the train runs six times faster then the boat. 火车的速度至少比小船快6倍。
The meeting-room is four times bigger than ours. 这个会议室比我们的大四倍。
2.A is three ( four/ five…) times as big (much/ many/ long/ high…) as B. A比B大（多/长/高。。。）两倍或者是A是B的三（四/五……）倍大（多/长/高……）
例如：
Line A is five times as long as Line B. 线段A比线段B长四倍。（或是线段A是线段B的五倍长）
Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲比欧洲大三倍。
This building is three times as high as that one. 这栋楼房比那一栋高2倍。
3. A is three ( four/ five….) times the size ( amount/ length/ height…) of B. A比B大（多/长/高……）两（三/四……）倍或是A是B的三（四/五……）倍大（多/长/高……）。
例如：
Line A is four times the length of Line B. 线段A比线段B长四倍。
This building is three times the height of that one.这栋楼房比那栋高2倍。
如果表示“A比B大（多/ 长/高。。。）一倍“用twice，而且用第一种表示法。
例如：
Bob is twice heavier than Jack. 鲍博比杰克重一倍。
This road is twice longer than that one.这条路比那条路长一倍。
11.语法——定语从句
关系代词who, whom, that 和which引导的定语从句。
在句子中修饰名词或代词的从句为定语从句。定语从句所修饰的词叫先行词，定语从句一般修饰跟在先行词的后面。如果先行词指人，关系代词可用who, whom, that.如果先行词指物，关系代词可用which或是that。关系代词who, whom, that 和which既起连接作用，又在定语从句中充当一定成分（在定语从句中作主语或是宾语）。关系代词在从句中作宾语时常常可以省略，但是作主语时不能省略。Whom 在从句中作宾语时用，但是在口语或非正式文体中，常用who来代替whom。
例如：
A plane is a machine which/ that can fly.飞机是会飞行的机器。
The book (which/ that ) you want is on my desk.你要的那本书在我的书桌上。
Anybody who/ that breaks the rules is punished.任何违反规定的人都要受到惩罚。
The boy who/ that likes skating will be here.喜欢滑冰的那个男孩子将会来这里。
The girl (who/ whom/that) you met in the street is John’s sister.你在大街上遇到的那个女孩是约翰的妹妹。
Is this the lady (whom) you spoke of? 这个是你谈到的那位女士吗？

教学反思
这个单元的学习和活动设计是按层次和深度的不同，以科学性与实用性统一的原则为指导，充分锻炼了学生的注意、观察、分析、发现、归纳、对比、总结和运用等多方面的能力。尤其是在语言学习中，不仅仅是让学生记住某些词汇和语法规则，而是通过各种阅读和活动，鼓励学生自己去发现和注意其中的意义和联系。此外在阅读技能的训练中，运用了略读、查读、理解大意、猜测词义、判断推理等等，实际上也是交际、信息和思维三大能力的培养。因为每一项活动都是不同程度的获取信息和处理信息的过程，包括了区分信息、选择信息、信息归类、提取信息、连接信息和表达信息等等，其中的小组活动和双人讨论就创造了交际的机会，对于培养学生语言思维能力也很有帮助。但是在语法教学这一环节，学生自己去发现规律，总结规律的能力还不能达到要求，还需要老师做一些引导，甚至归纳总结。另外，为了能够更好的调动学生们自主学习的积极性，可以适当的加入竞争性的活动，从而能更好的发挥主观能动性，达到学习效果。

step i. revision
check the homework with the whole class.
step ii. warming up
ask the students to read the instructions and make sure they know what to do, and then have a discussion about the two pictures.
t: today, before we begin our reading, i’d like to ask you a question, “what is the biggest sound you have heard in your life?”
s1: the sound of wind that blew in a winter night when i was very young. it sounded like a ghost who was howling. i was very frightened at that time.
s2: the biggest noise was the one that i heard when my neighbor was quarrelling with his wife. perhaps, they broke their tv set.
t: that’s too terrible.
s3: the noise when planes take off.
s4: the sound of trains.
t: good! i agree that all of them are big sound. but did you once heard the sound that the heaven falls and the earth cracks, in chinese it is 天崩地裂?
ss: no, we have no chance to hear that.
t: if there is a sound like this, what is it?
s5: when someone hears something unexpected and terrible. for example, when one of his loved families dies, he will feel this sound.
t: terrific! you are using a literary way to express the sound.
s6: when an earthquake happens.
t: great! i have waited for this answer for a long time. today we’ll learn something about earthquakes. i think most of us have heard of earthquakes. can you imagine how terrible it is ?
s7: the earth is shaking . all the buildings will fall down.
s8: many people will die. and perhaps many children will lose their parents.
t: yeah, earthquakes are disasters to everybody. now look at the two pictures of tangshan and san francisco. can you describe what you see in the pictures?
s1: tangshan is a beautiful city. it has beautiful gardens, broad roads and some tall buildings.
s2: from the picture of san francisco, i can see that it is a very big city. there are many tall buildings thickly standing on the earth. i think the population of the city is very large.
t: good! what will happen if there has been a big earthquake in these two cities? work in pairs and discuss it. then i’ll ask so me of you to show your opinion.
step iii. pre-reading
there are two questions in this part. both are very interesting. the first one can more or less reveal the students’ values; while the second one can enlarge their imagination. no matter what their answers are, as long as they have given careful thoughts to the situations, their answers should be good.
t: now, let’s look at the pictures. what are the predictions of an earthquake?
s1: before an earthquake animals will become nervous. cows, pigs, horses and dogs will be upset. and people can see mice running about. if the earthquake happens during winter, people can even see snakes.
t: terrific! where did you get this knowledge?
s1: from geography. i like it.
t: good. sit down please.
s2: madam, i don’t know the meaning of the picture with two women.
t: it doesn’t matter. you will know it soon after reading our text. ok. imagine there is an earthquake now, and your home is shaking, at this moment you have no time to take any other things but one, what will it be?
s3: i’ll take all my money. people can’t live without money.
s4: i will take as much water as possible. because it is said that people can keep alive for nearly 7 days by drinking without any food
s5: in that case, i’d rather take some apples, so that besides drinking, i can also eat.
s6: i will carry my grandma. she is my most loved person in this world. she brought me up.
t: what a dutiful child you are! i’m very glad to hear that. sit down please! it seems that all of you know what you should do during an earthquake. ok. let’s read our text, and see what it tells us.
step iv. reading
in this part, teacher should ask the students to read the passage quickly for the first time to get the general idea of the passage. ask them to pay attention to the first sentence of each paragraph. this can help them finish exercise3 in comprehension. it is about the main idea of each paragraph. then ask them to read the text again carefully to obtain some details. before reading for the second time, show some questions on the screen, and let the students read the questions first. these questions can guide them to have a good understanding about the text. they can also make preparations for exs1-2, which are about details.
skimming
t: at first i’d like to read the text quickly to get the general idea of the article. while reading, you should pay attention to the sentence of each paragraph.
t: have you got the general idea of the text?
ss: yes.
t: what is it?
s1: there is no quick answer to this question. are you suggesting us that the general idea is the mixture of the first sentences of each paragraph?
t: sure.
s1:ok. that’s easy. the main idea of the passage is some signs of the earthquake, and what would happen during the quake.
t: good, sit down please. in fact, while we are answering the questions, we have involved the sequence, the functional item for this unit. (teacher writes the word on the blackboard) do you understand the meaning of the word?
ss: no.
t: sequence means the order of the events. it can tell us which event happens first, and which happens later. do you know the sequence that is used in our text?
s3: yes. at first, the text tells us something that happened before the quake, then it tells us the things that happened during the quake and at last it tells us the things that happened after the earthquake.
t: quite right! now please look at the screen, these are the first sentences of each paragraph. read them and think if they are the main idea of the text. if necessary, you may make some changes to make more exact.
teacher shows the screen and gives a little time to think it over.
1. strange things were happening in the countryside in the northeast hebei.
2. the disaster happened and caused a lot of loss.
3. all hope was not lost.
careful reading
t: now, it’s time for us to read the text carefully. but before reading, you should read some questions first. these questions may help you get some information quickly and easily. now look at the screen, and read the questions.
show on the screen
1. what natural signs of a coming disaster were there?
2. can you think of some reasons why these signs weren’t noticed?
3. what events probably made the disaster worse?
4. what situations probably made the disaster worse?
5. how were the survivors held?
step v. extension
show the questions on the screen.
1. from whose point of view are events described? how do you know?
2. what is the mood of this passage? how is it created?
3. why do you think the writer chooses to express his feelings about the quake rather than simply reporting what had happened?
4. why is the title a night the earth didn’t sleep?
5. what does the sentence “slowly, the city began to breathe again.” mean?
answers:
1. he uses third-person to describe the quake. his description is very objective. for example, the second sentence in the third paragraph. the writer says: “everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed.” the writer uses they instead of we.
2. the mood is serious and a bit sad. it is created by giving details of how many people and animals were killed or injured, and how many buildings were destroyed.
3. although the writer was not there, he felt sad for the people of tangshan. he knows that some personal feelings will make the reading more interesting.
4. i think the reason is that, as usual, night is the time to sleep, and night should be safe and quiet. but that night everything changed. the writer uses a night the earth didn’t sleep as a title to show how terrible and how unusual the night was.
5. here we can see that the writer compared the city to a person who suffered a lot in the disaster. he felt her pain, and he worried about her. so when he said that people came to help her, we can feel his feelings to the city. the city will not die, she has hope and she can recover from the pain.
