问题     Nowadays groups of scientific workers, often supposed by their governments, spend their time studying  the occurrence of earthquakes. It is very likely that they will be able to【S1】______earthquakes or influence  the direction of their movements, which are determined by events far below the surface of the earth.

Large underground tanks were constructed to supply water if【S6】______supplies could not be tapped. Special【S7】______were taken to prevent fires, which often do more damage than earthquakes  themselves. The San Francisco earthquake【S8】______scientists with valuable information.
