  During supernova explosions, strange stars with almost bare quark surfaces
may be formed. Under certain conditions, these stars could be rapidly spun down
by the torque exerted by the fossil disks formed from the fall-back materials.
They may also receive large kicks and hence, have large proper motion
velocities. When these strange stars pass through the spherical ``Oort'' comet
cloud formed during the pre-supernova era, they will capture some small-scale
comet clouds and collide with some comet-like objects occasionally. These
impacts can account for the repeating bursts as observed from the soft gamma
repeaters (SGRs). According to this picture, it is expected that SGR 1900+14
will become active again during 2004-2005.
