Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the top 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 peak takes two to three hours of almost 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 are near the active peak: 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 peak.
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 and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the peak is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air.
【小题1】What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To describe the beauty of Pacaya.
B. To attract guided tours to Pacaya.

【小题2】Antigua is a city ________.
A. where people can enjoy cultural festivals

Smoking remains one of the biggest causes of death and illness in the UK with around 100,000 people dying each year from illnesses connected with the habit. Under-18s in England will not be allowed to buy electronic cigarettes, the government has announced. Experts say it is not yet known what harm they could cause and that the things inside them could be damaging young people’s health.
Around 1.3 million people in the UK use e-cigarettes which were designed to help people give up smoking. It will be illegal for adults to buy traditional cigarettes for anyone under 18. The new rule could be put into practice by the autumn and may mean anyone caught buying cigarettes for a child could be given a fine of 50-2,500 pounds.
“We must do all we can to help children lead a healthy life,” Public Health Minister Jane Ellison said: Some 41% of 15-year-olds who smoke say they usually buy their cigarettes from someone else, rather than from a shop, according to the Department of Health.
But while the number of smokers has fallen to the lowest ever level, experts fear e-cigarettes could be encouraging teenagers to take up the habit. E-cigarettes, popular with teenagers, contain a bit of nicotine and give off water vapor to make people have the feeling and took up the habit.
“We do not yet know the harm that e-cigarettes can cause to adults, let alone to children, but we do know they are not risk free,” Prof. Dame Sally Davies, England’s chief medical officer, said. “E-cigarettes can produce toxic chemicals and a small amount of nicotine and other things that could be extremely damaging to young people’s health.” he added.
【小题1】 People may be fined £50-2,500 on condition that ________.
A. they buy cigarettes for children
B. they smoke electronic cigarettes
C. they are caught smoking in public
D. they allow their children to smoke
【小题2】What does the underlined word “toxic” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Powerful. B. Helpful.
C. Harmful. ? ? D. Useful.
【小题3】Which of the following is FALSE about E-cigarettes?
A. They are of high-quality cigarettes.
B. They have no harm to children.
C. They do not contain nicotine.
D. They are popular with teenagers.
【小题4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. E-cigarettes may replace cigarettes.
B. The number of the smokers has declined greatly.
C. We can choose electronic cigarettes.
D. E-cigarettes will be banned for under-18s.

Dear David,
I am studying in University of Toronto. Now I have some problems with my roommates, Tom, and I am writing to ask you for some help. Tom is basically a good guy, and he doesn’t care much about what he does. He pays no attention to the room tidiness, often left his things about. He plays very loud music with the rest time. At times, I found him using others’ daily things without permission. What is worse, he often brings my friends here to drink, talking and laughing loud. I have been tried to ask him not to do so, but he doesn’t listen to me. What should I do? Would you be so kind that to give me some advice?
Yours,
? Zhang Hua
