The strangest story I (a) ever (report) began one spring morning in Hong Kong. I was born and brought up in Hong Kong and I (b) just _(start) working as a radio reporter there.

In March 1981, ninety-five fishing junks (c) (spot) sailing over the horizon. Immediately they (d) (surround) by police launches who thought they were trying (e) (sneak) into Hong Kong against the law. One of Hong Kong' greatest problems is trying to keep out thousands of people who think life there (f) (be) better than in China, and try to smuggle themselves in. Hong Kong is already the most crowded place in the world, and there is no room for more people. But when the police asked the junk people why they (g) (come) they (h) (get) a shock. They said (i) (stay) for a few days (j) (escape) the terrible calamity that was about (k) (strike) their villages in China. They said there was complete panic at home because everyone (1) (believe) an earthquake (m) (come). (Destroy) and throughout its history China (n) (suffer) terrible earthquakes, cities (o) _ thousands killed. Nowadays, all over the country there are seismographic centers where earthquakes can easily (p) (predict). The Hong Kong authorities phoned one of these centers in China to find out whether they (q) _ (warn) about a forthcoming earthquake, but the answer was no. Experts in Hong Kong agreed that there was no reason for the junk people's fears. Consequently the junk people ( r) (send) home. On their way back an earthquake did indeed (s) (strike) their village. No one was hurt but the mystery (t) (remain). How did the junk people know, when the scientists and experts with all their sophisticated ma-chines didn't?
