Volcanoes　　There are thousands of volcanoes （火山） all over the world. What makes volcanoes？ What happens？　　The inside of the earth is very hot. Because it is very， very hot， the rock has melted like ice. It has become liquid， like water. It is always boiling， like water in a kettle. If you have seen a kettle boiling， you know that the steam and boiling water try to get out. The very hot melted rock inside the earth also tries to get out. Usually it cannot because the outside of the earth is too thick and strong.　　But in some places the outside of the earth is thin and weak. Sometimes a crack appears. The hot melted rock， which we call "lava" （熔岩~）， pushes out through the crack and bursts through. Steam and gas shoot up into the air and the hot melted lava pours out. Big pieces of rock may be thrown high into the air.　　After a while the volcano becomes quiet again. The melted lava becomes hard. Later the same thing happens again and again. Each time more hot lava pours out on top of the cold lava and then becomes hard. In this way a kind of mountain is built up， with a hole down the middle. Perhaps the volcano will then be quiet. Perhaps it will start again hundreds of years later.　　Vesuvius is the name of a very famous volcano in Italy. It first came to life many， many years ago. It was quiet for hundreds of years. Then in the year 79 it suddenly burst. A great cloud of smoke shot up into the sky with great burning rocks. Hot lava poured down its sides. About 3，000 people were killed.　　This has happened again many times since that year. Sometimes no damage was caused， or only little damage. But there was serious damage in the years 472，1631，1794，1861，1872 and 1906. You can see that a volcano can stay alive for many years. There was also serious damage in 1914 but there has not been any since that year.

Football　　Football is， I suppose， the most popular game in England： one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this. Rich and poor， young and old， one can see them all there， shouting and cheering for one side or the other.　　One of the most surprising things about football in England to a stranger is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has photographs of them and knows the results of a large number of matches. He will tell you， with a great air of authority， who he expects will win such and such a match， and his opinion is usually as valuable as that of men three or four times his age.　　Most schools in England take football seriously - much more seriously than nearly all European schools， where lessons are all-important （至关重要的）， and games left for private arrangements. In England， it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy''s mind with facts in a classroom； education also means character training； and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games， especially team games， where the boy has to learn to work with others for his team， instead of working selfishly （自私地） for himself alone. The school therefore arranges games and matches for its pupils Football is a good team game， it is good exercise for the body， it needs skill and a quick brain， it is popular and it is cheap： as a result， it is the school''s favorite game in the winter.

Broken： Dreams of Rural Peace　　It was dusk in Tubney Woods, deep in rural Oxfordshire. The birds were singing at the end of another perfect day. The woman living at the edge of the forest could stand it no longer. She phoned the local noise pollution officer."It''s the rooks （秃鼻乌鸦）," she said. "1 can''t bear that awful cawing （呱呱地叫） noise. Can you do something about it？"　　The call was no surprise to officials at the Vale of White Horse District Council. 　　　　　（46） The countryside, as every country-dweller knows, can be a hellishly （可怕地） noisy place. 　　Last week David Stead, a West Yorkshire farmer, appeared in court in Wakefield accused of allowing his cocks to break noise regulations by crowing （打鸣） at dawn, waking a neighbour.　　　　　（47） Six months ago Corky, a four-year-old cock, was banned from crowing after complaints in the Devon village of Stoke.　　Complaints about noise reasonable or not - are at record levels in country areas. Environmental health officers say this is partly because of an increase in noisy activity. However, a significant number of complaints come from newcomers to the countryside.　　There are many sources of rural noise.　　　　　（48） Mechanised grain driers, usually switched on for three weeks in September, can produce a maddening low-frequency hum. Mike Roberts, chief environmental health officer at Vale of White Horse, said noise often sounded worse in the countryside than in cities. With less background sound, unwelcome noises can seem louder and travel further.　　The oddest complaints, however, are the ones council officials can do nothing about. Vale of White Horse officials have been asked to silence not only nesting rooks. Pigeons and pheasants （雉鸡） have also caused concern. In Kent, council officials have been asked to silence baby lambs.　　　　　（49） Another insisted he could hear an alien spaceship landing over the garden fence.　　"We get regular complaints. They usually come from retired people who have just moved into the country. We send them a polite letter."　　And the lady who complained about the rooks？ She was politely told she would have to put up with it. "　　　　　（50）" said Mr Roberts. "In the end, she accepted there was nothing much she could do - except move out." It is not recorded who won, the lady or the rooks.　　 A Mr Stead said they were only doing what comes naturally. 　　 B We asked her what we were supposed to do, shoot the birds, or chop the trees down？　　 C They have heard every kind of complaint. 　　 D One man rang to say he was kept awake by the splashing of a fountain in the garden next door. 　　 E The council will ask the farmer to move it 　　 F Farm machinery is a common cause

1、Plants and Mankind　　Botany， the study of plants， occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. We don''t know what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants， but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still exist， a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things， even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people， not only for food， but also for clothing， weapons， tools， dyes， medicines shelter， and many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.　　Unfortunately， the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants， and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge， and few people will fail to recognize a rose， an apple， or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors， living in the Middle East about 10，000 years ago， discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season， the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture： cultivated crops. From then on， humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants， rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.

2、Eruptions of Mount Saint Helens
　　On March 27, the U. S. Government scientists made a decision after they predicted the eruption of Mount Saint Helens. They telephoned all states and local officials in the area and told them that a serious eruption was possible at any time. Roads were closed to every one except scientists and forest keepers struggled to keep curious visitors away from the mountain.
　　Shortly after noon on March 27, Mount Saint Helens erupted for the first time in 123 years. People living north of the mountain heard a loud boom that shook their windows, and airline pilots flying near the volcano soon afterwards described a thick black column of ash and steam shooting more than 2, 100 meters into the sky.
　　Later, scientists found that the explosion had made a new crater(大坑) in the top of the mountain, not far from the old crater. The north side of the peak now had a huge bulge(凸出部分) where rock and ice had been pushed out by the eruption.
　　A second eruption shook the mountain on March 28. It, too, sent up a column of black ash high into the sky. By March 29, scientists flying over the mountain saw that a second crater formed about 9 meters from the first one. Strange blue flames flickered(闪烁) inside the crater and sometimes jumped from one crater to the other.
　　By April 1 the mountain had erupted several more times and the snow on the north slope of the peak was black with ash. Ash carried by the wind had fallen on towns as far as 240 kilometers away from Mount Saint Helens.
　　During the first week of April, Mount Saint Helens gave scientists something new to worry about harmonic tremors(震动) recorded by scientists showed a big eruption would happen. All during April and into May Mount Saint Helens continued to shudder(震动) and shoot out ash. By April 8, the two craters had merged to form a vast hole nearly a half of a kilometer wide and 250 meters deep.
　　Scientists
