Linda was a few minutes late. Wilson had left the office when she got there. His secretary told her he would be back in a few minutes. She had to sit down and wait for a few minutes in the outer office. “I’ll never get this job,” she told herself. For a moment she wanted to run out of the building. Just then, Wilson came through the door and hurried into his office. A few minutes later his secretary took Linda in and introduced her. Linda apologized for being late. Wilson didn’t seem to mind. They chatted casually for a few seconds and then got down to business. He took out her letter of application. “You’ve never worked in radio or television before, have you？” he said. Now she was even more sure that she would not get the job. Wilson asked her a few more questions. To her surprise he seemed impressed with her other qualifications. She was even more surprised when he asked her if she could start soon. “I wonder if you’d mind starting next month？” he asked with a smile.

• At the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident, there was a very large release of radioactivity in a few minutes, followed by a slowly declining release rate over several months. The total release is estimated to have been about 5×10⁷curies The winds carried the released materials all the way to Sweden, from which the first reports came that there had been a nuclear accident in the USSR.

  For the purposes of this problem assume that there was an instantaneous release of 10⁷curies of radioactive gases (and fine particles, which are assumed to remain in the atmosphere and not settle out). Then estimate the maximum ground level concentration of radioactive gases (curies/m³) when the radioactive cloud from the accident got to Sweden. Make the following assumptions: (1) Ignore decay of the radioactive gases (i.e., assume their half-lives were infinite). (2) Assume the distance between Chernobyl and Sweden is 1000 km. (3) Assume that the wind speed was 3 m/s and the stability class C. (4) Assume that the mixing height was 2000 m. (5) Assume that mlXmg in the x direction(up and down the direction of the wind) has the same intensity as miXing in the y(crosswind)direction.

• On April the 18th, 1960, it was a few minutes after 5 o'clock in the morning. Most people in San Francisco were a-sleep, but the rattling of the milkmen's carts and bottles meant that the city was waking to another busy day.

  At that moment the land suddenly moved. The vibration was so strong that great buildings fell down, including the new seven-million-dollar City Hall, which the community had good reason to be proud of. Main water pipes burst. Cooking stoves overturned and electric wires flashed. The fires which started caused damage in large areas of the city. What had happened.'？ The rocks had broken apart along nearly three hundred miles of a crack in the earth of California, a feature of the physical map of that region known as a "fault". The damage was greatest in San Francisco which was near the center of the fault. Many buildings were destroyed by fire or by the earthquake itself, and hundreds of people were killed. Many people also died from diseases which broke out in the dirty camps later occupied by homeless people. The fires got out of control and, before they died out, four square mi-les of the city were burnt out. The loss of property was serious. The loss from fire alone amounted to 400,000,000 dollars, more than nine-tenths of the total damage. In those days this was an enormous sum. The effects of the earthquake were widespread. Rivers and streams began to run in new directions and their flow pat-terns were changed. Trees six feet in diameter were uprooted within half a mile of the central break. An area of wet fields on the side of a hill actually moved half a mile downwards. A road which crossed the fault burst apart and a gap of 21 feet remained between the broken ends. The California earthquake is remembered because it was so sudden and because it occurred in a city, where the dam-age and destruction were plainly visible and where many people were killed simultaneously. Actually, deaths on American roads from car accidents are now greater in almost any week of the year, but we are so accustomed to road accidents that we do not pay much attention to them. Scientists and engineers studied the effects of the San Francisco earthquake. The city was rebuilt, and new features were introduced to strengthen buildings and maintain a constant water supply in the event of. another earthquake. The water mains were fitted with control values which would enable water to travel by different routes round broken places. Large underground tanks were constructed to supply water if normal supplies could not be tapped. Special measures were taken to prevent fires, which often do more damage than earthquakes themselves. The San Francisco earthquake provided scientists with valuable information, since the effects of the break were visible and reports of the incident were an important contribution to the world's store of knowledge about earthquakes. The main cause of the great loss of property 'after the San Francisco earthquake in 1960 is______. A．falling buildings B．broken pipes C．fires D．floods
