The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years. Once Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano (火山).Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (喷发)for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not. In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead. For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue color in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81round, flat loaves of bread––a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup. Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii. 1. Why do large number of people come to Pompeii each year?   A. To visit the volcano                B. To shop and eat there C. To watch sports and plays          D. To see how Pompeii lived 2. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius? A. The city nearby offered all kinds of fun         B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy C. Few people expected the volcano to erupt again D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass 3. Why did the city uncovered look like almost the same as it had looked in AD 79? A. Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted 4. What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2,000 years ago? A. They lived more or less the same as Italians now do B. They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup C. They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and tearing D. They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79. B Death Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali(碱性) sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States. Long Ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”—the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good service can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place. Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil's Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen. 1. ___is the lowest place in the desert.   A. Tomesha     B. Death Valley  C. Nevada   D. Badwater 2.
