            Historically, humans get serious about avoiding disasters only after
            one has just struck them. 62 that logic. 2006 should have been a
            break­through year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9/11
            still 63 in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina. the
            most expensive disaster in U.S. history, on 64 TV. Anyone who didn't
            know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And
            they are made 65 worse by our
            willful blindness to risk as much as our 66 to work together before
            everything goes to hell.
            Granted, some amount of delusion (错觉） is probably pan of the 67
            condition. In A.D. 63. Pompeii was seriously damaged by an
            earthquake, and the locals immediately went to work 68 . in the same
            spot—until they were buried altogether by a volcano eruption 16
            years later. But a 69 of the past year in disaster history suggests
            that modern Americans are particularly bad at 70 themselves from
            guaranteed threats. We know more than we 71 did about the dangers we
            face. But it turns _72_that in limes of crisis, our greatest enemy
            is _73_ the storm,the quake or the _74_itself More often ,it is
            ourselves.

            So what has happened in the year lhal_75_the disaster on the Gulf
            Coast? In New
            Orleans, the Army Corps of Engineers has worked day and night to
            rebuild the flood walls. They have got the walls to _76_ they were
            before Katrina,
            more or less. That's not_77_. we can now say with
            confidence. But it may be all_78_can be expected from one year of
            hustle (忙碌).
            Meanwhile, New Orleans officials have crafted a plan to use buses
            and trains to_79_the sick and the disabled. The city estimates that
            15.000 people will need a _80_ out. However, state officials have
            not yet determined where these people will be taken. The_81_with
            neighboring communities are ongo­ing and difficult.
