The earthquake in Southern California

CHINO HILLS, California - Despite shaking a large swath of Southern California, a magnitude-5.4 earthquake was not the "Big One" that scientists have long feared. Still, it rattled nerves, causing people to vow to step up their emergency preparations. The earthquake that hit Southern California on Tuesday-July 29: For the first time in 14 years, an earthquake rocked a populated area of Southern California, sending many into near-panic but causing little damage. The temblor's epicenter was located just outside Chino Hills, 29 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles in San Bernardino County, and it was felt as far east as Las Vegas. Dozens of aftershocks followed, the largest a magnitude-3.8.

《漢武大帝》，無異這是一部值得一看的電視劇。此劇比較真實地再現了兩千年前中華民族的一段發展史，讚揚了一代名帝劉徹的文治武功。漢武帝作為中國歷史上一位傑出的皇帝，對內，排除幹擾，勵精圖治，銳意革新，使經濟發展，國家富強；對外，南撫諸越，北通月氏，最終打敗了匈奴，擴大了疆土，開創了我國歷史上第一個鼎盛的封建王朝。此劇氣勢磅薄，場面壯觀，又充滿了人文精神，在藝術上無疑也是成功的。

中国中央电视台（CCTV-4）

-Around China.

最近選有大陸衛星中文的電視台來看。因中國電視台很容易找到關於中國的歷史、文藝、娛樂、專業表演節目、人物訪問、民生、政治、旅遊……等各種資訊，可以讓我足不出門亦能得到豐富的知識和資訊。在香港的電視台是比較商業性的經營，所以播放有關教育性、學術性的節目佔的比例不是很多。大陸的電視台就不一樣了，他們沒有像香港電視台完全以商業掛帥的壓力，所以還是有空間能播放一些有教育性或不同的知識專題性報導和介紹。看了很多節目卻給我長知識了，電視節目帶給我的精神糧食確是豐富多.
