Icelandic volcanic eruption seems to create even more disruption and chaos. The major eruption from this
massive volcano has halted almost 500,000 people a day who wanted to fly in and out of the UK due to all
flights being suspended.
The last time an event took place on such a large scale was roughly around two hundred years ago, but
as aircraft were not a factor then it had almost no effects at all, and the last time domestic flights were delayed
for any length of time was in the Second World War.
A cloud of volcanic ash has risen 20,000 feet into the sky from a major eruption in Iceland which lies 700
miles north of the United Kingdom, so why would an event like this create so much fuss for Britons and parts
of Europeans?
Volcanic ash contains tiny particles of glass and sulphur (硫), which when sucked into an aircraft"s jet
engine can cause the engine to stop. This is the time when you can imagine a pretty catastrophic event to
happen. Back in 1982 an incident involving a jet aircraft and volcanic ash did exactly that. The ash caused all
engines to fail and it was only thanks to the skill of the pilot that everyone on board managed to survive.
So the governing bodies of the airways have decided to cease all air traffic that could be affected by the
cloud of volcanic ash as it is carried by a southward wind down from the north of Scotland across the entire
length and breadth of the UK across the English Channel and over Europe.
On land there have been statements that there is no danger to humans, but people with asthma and
respiratory diseases should stay indoors.
The Iceland volcano that has erupted is apparently not the only one that is worrying scientists, and there
is another volcano which is the Mount Etna. So if it erupted anytime soon with the wind blowing south, an
ash cloud from that one would cause long-term devastation (破坏) and disruption for a very long time. Fingers
crossed, then.
B. Back in 1982.
C. During World War Two.
D. In the 1950s.
B. To show that British people are very kind.
C. To tell us what is contained in volcanic ash.
D. To show the urgent demand for skilled pilots.
B. People with heart trouble.
C. People with headaches.
D. People with breathing problems.
B. Another volcanic eruption is just going to take place soon.
C. The Volcano of Mount Etna would be very destructive.
D. Scientists can do nothing to stop volcanic eruptions.

| As parents, I do not believe that any of us sets out to raise a child that is disrespectful or bratty (无礼的). Here are some helpful tips on how to raise a bratty child so that you can have a child that will be a benefit to society. It doesn"t take long for a toddler (学步儿童) to toddle right into trouble of some kind. This is the perfect time for parents to teach the child not to do that action again. 1_____ Helping a child to behave in an acceptable manner is a necessary part of raising the child well. Discipline is a useful teaching tool to guide a child. I think it"s necessary to explain to children what responsibility means. Responsibilities mean the things you have to do. As parents, you should say to your children "If you play with your toys, it"s your responsibility to put them away." Besides, coach your children in their responsibilities. 2_____ Children should use their time well. We can"t let a child do the same thing again and again. When kids are bored, they can end up in trouble creating problems for themselves and others. 3_____ Children should be told not to waste their time and they should make full use of their time to do useful things. The children who are eager to increase their pocket money should be taught that money does not come easily. For example, when parents buy school lunch for their children, they should put this spending into children"s pocket money. If children want to get much more money, parents can ask them to cook the lunch themselves. 4_____ Parents should let their children know how to be in charge of their "expenses" and manage their expenditure (花费). 5_____ It is your responsibility to help and guide your kids. So, the next time you see a bratty kid remember: they didn"t get that way themselves, and they have parents who didn"t take time to teach them. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| A. Parents should be strict with children. B. You, the parent, whom kids rely on. C. This process is called discipline. D. You should encourage children to be kind. E. I think it"s very important that kids should be coached and not just lectured to. F. Parents should encourage their children to save their pocket money. G. Sports, activities and chores are a few things to help give kids something to fill their time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| We all hear about a kind of feeling called ESP (超感官知觉). And we know a great many stories about it. Here I want to ask you, "Have you ever 1 felt that someone you know was in trouble-and 2 ? Have you ever dreamed of something that came true later?" Maybe you have ESP. ESP 3 Extra Sensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events 4 they happen, or events that are happening some distance away. Here is a(n) 5 : A woman was doing washing. Suddenly she 6 , "My father is dead!I saw him 7 in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman"s father had 8 of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair. There are thousands of stories like this 9 record. Scientists are studying them to find out 10 is behind these strange mental 11 . Here"s another example-one of hundreds of dreams that have come true. A man dreamed he was walking along a road 12 a carriage came by. The driver said, "There"s room for one more." The man felt the driver was 13 , so he ran away. The next day the man was getting on a crowded bus. This bus driver 14 . "There"s room for one more." Then the man saw the driver"s face was the same face he had 15 in the dream. He 16 get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and 17 flames. Everyone was killed! 18 people say stories like these are lies or coincidences. Others,including some scientists say the ESP is 19 from studies of ESP, we may some day learn 20 about the human mind. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
