问题 　　At present groups of scientific workers, often【C1】______by their governments, spend their time in【C2】______the【C3】______of earthquakes. It is very【C4】______that they will be able to【C5】______earthquakes or influence the direction of their movements, which are determined by events far below the surface of the earth. But the facts they report and the theories【C6】______by those facts may enable scientists to【C7】______the centers of future earthquakes and even【C8】______the time of their【C9】______.

Since the effects of the break were visible at the surface, scientists could【C19】______what actually happened, and reports of the incident were an important【C20】______to the world’ s store of knowledge bout earthquakes.
