18．Sweden is famous for its ICEHOTEL．The hotel is in the village of Jukkasjarvi．It has to be rebuilt every year because it is made of ice．
24 years ago．a(chǎn) company wanted to attract visitors to Jukkasjarvi in cold winter months．They decided to hold an art show inside an ice hall built on the nearby frozen（結(jié)冰的）river．The building was a great success，attracting many day visitors．A group of brave visitors came to the show with sleeping bags and said they would spend the night inside the ice hall．At this exciting moment，the ICEHOTEL was born．
People usually begin to prepare for the ice hotel in March and April．They carry about 5，000 tons of ice to a cold storage （存儲(chǔ)空間）where it sits till the beginning of winter．They begin to build the hotel at the beginning of November．About 100 workers take part in the work．By the end of December，it is ready and open for business．The best part about this building is that it is really a green building．The hotel works all winter．As summer arrives and the temperatures rise，it easily changes into one large pool，leaving nothing behind．
Over the years，many other ice hotels can be found in Canada，F(xiàn)inland and Romania．However，the first one remains the biggest of all．

16．An 8.3-magnitude（里氏8.3級(jí)）earthquake can often cause fallen buildings and hundreds or even thousands of victims．But only 13 people were killed in the powerful earthquake in Chile on Sept 16，2015．That is the most surprising thing．
According to New York Times．Chile had spent quite a lot of money on the project of making its buildings stronger．Also，it had changed its tsunami（海嘯）warning system．Both of these helped prevent a disaster in the country．
Besides，strict laws and rules have made people more ready for earthquakes．Schools have increasingly started doing drills（演練），all society is filled with creative ways to keep safe in earthquakes．
Chile，a South American country，is one of the places where earthquakes are most likely．Its 17 million people have been taught more than enough information about earthquake．The strongest earthquakes ever recorded happened in Chile：a 9.5-magnitude earthquake in 1960 that killed more than 5，000 people．And most recently，an 8.8-magnitude earthquake in central Chile in 2010 killed more than 500 people and destroyed 220，000 homes．
The 2010 earthquake was 5.6 times more powerful than the 2015 earthquake．And the 2010 earthquake hit in the middle of the night，while the 2015 earthquake happened during an evening when many people were outside for barbecues and other celebrations before the country's Independence Day on Sept 18．
The biggest problem in 2010 was human mistakes．The government failed to warn people to move off the coast after the earthquake hit near the southern city of Concepcion．
The government made no such mistakes this time giving tsunami warnings minutes after the earthquake hit．To reduce more risk in the earthquake，classes were canceled and factories closed across the country on Sept 17．
