SAN FRANCISCO
Tourists to San Francisco are rarely disappointed (34) ...................................... the famous range of cultural and artistic attractions the city has to offer. But San Francisco is more famous (35) ...................................... being on the San Andreas fault, a notorious source of earthquakes. Over seven hundred people died in San Francisco in the great earthquake of 1906, and more than 70 perished in another large quake in 1989. It's hard (36) ...................................... imagine why anyone would want to live in such a dangerous area, but millions of people choose to do so. They are all familiar (37) ...................................... the faultline, and are aware (38) ...................................... the potential danger if there's another powerful quake. Yet nothing, it seems, will prevent people (39) ...................................... building in San Francisco. A quick glance (40) ...................................... a photo of the city shows a large number of modern skyscrapers, many of them completely covered (41) ...................................... glass.
Seismologists are constantly warning residents (42) ...................................... the possibility of “the next big quake”. They expect it (43) ...................................... happen sooner rather than later. But San Franciscans are not short (44) ...................................... courage. Except (45) ...................................... making doubly sure that their buildings are built to the highest safety standards, they carry on with their daily lives as if nothing could ever disrupt them.
