While most people have the idea that volcano eruptions are one of the most destructive disasters in nature , seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the summit of Pacaya for a close-up view.
There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua, giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you won’t miss the Pacaya-tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2,560 meters high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements. As you climb you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit: the Mckenney Cone (火山锥). Just as though you were going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava(岩浆) and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot steams up to 100 meters into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano. For you, too, it is time to get down.
【1】Antigua is a city .
A. that gives a close-up view of Pacaya
B. that is famous for its tour agencies
C. where the exciting Pacaya tour starts
D. where people can enjoy cultural festivals
【2】The word “summit” appears several times in the passage. It means___.
A. cooled rocks along the path

D. the top point of a mountain or hill
【3】Many tours are timed for people to .
A. get down the mountain in time when night falls
B. avoid the smell from the upwind direction
C. enjoy the amazing eruption against the darkening sky
D. appreciate the scenery of the Pacaya mountain
【4】What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To attract tourists .
B. To describe the volcano
C. To introduce guided tours .
D. To explain the power of nature .

When you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round: delivering newspapers to people's homes. I then progressed to a Saturday job in a supermarket: stacking shelves and working at the checkout.
Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs. It's one of those things that are seen almost as a rite of passage(成人仪式).It's a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on your CV(简历).Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their money.
Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job could be deleterious to a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employer's organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment, but despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.
So, does this mean that British teenagers are now afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results-and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that "Properly regulated(控制的)part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives." In reality, it's all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.
【1】How did the author feel about doing part-time jobs on weekends when he was a teenager?
A. Unwilling. B. Interested.
C. Delighted. D. Angry.
【2】Which of the following may NOT be the benefit of school children's doing part-time jobs?
A. Learning to be independent. B. Gaining some life experience.
C. Being prepared for future jobs. D. Spending what they earn as they like.
【3】What does the underlined word "deleterious" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. valuable. B. harmful.
C. necessary. D. beneficial.
【4】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Students should spend all their time on studies.
B. Students should have as many part-time jobs as possible.
C. Doing part-time jobs must affect students' school results.
D. It's important for students to balance part-time jobs and studies.

Diet pills ,diet Coke, diet Pepsi, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.
Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brains to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale ( 秤 ) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.
【1】From Paragraph 1, we can learn that .
A. people are fed up with diet products
B. diet products are misleading people
C. diet products fail to bring out people’s potential
D. people have difficulty in choosing diet products
【2】One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to .
A. try out a variety of diet foods
B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
C. watch their weight rather than their diet
D. pay attention to their own eating habits
【3】In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means______
A. diet products bring no harm
B. diet products have no calorie
C. it costs little to stay healthy
D. losing weight needs no efforts
【4】Diet products indirectly affect people physically because such products__
A. lack basic nutrients
B. are over-consumed
C. are short of chemicals
D. provide too much energy
