Title of the article：Japan raises nuclear crisis rating to highest level

Summary:The level 7 rating for the crisis at the quake- and tsunami-stricken Fukushima power plant is based on the amount radiation released. A day earlier, three new quakes hit as Japan announces plans to expand the evacuation zone.More than 27,000 people were left dead or missing as the disaster last month, centered in the northeast, destroyed fishing towns and caused severe damage to homes, businesses and almost everything else along more than 200 miles of coastline.Experts, nevertheless, say it will take years to recover from the damage incurred at the Fukushima plant.Japan is trying to rebuild now.

My opinion:Japan always have earthquake,but this time, the level of the earthquake is too high,and it had made a big damage to Japan.Many people die.Many people lose their home.The more important thing,some radioactivity has leaked from the reactor,is very dangerous for people.The goverment also want to rebuilt the city after the earthquake,but it is really not easy.I feel so sad for their disaster.
