But in the morning they saw an island where there had been no island before.It was a very hot island, with smoke, steam,

10、 and fire.Actually, the island was the top of a mountain that had been growing up from the floor of the ocean and had poked through the water into the air.How does a mountain grow?If the mountain is a volcano, it is easy to see how it grows. A volcano starts from a hole in the ground from which hot

11、rock and smoke and steam come out. Far, far under the ground it is so hot that rock melts. This hot melted rock, or lava, is sometimes pushed out of the earth through a hole or a crack in the ground. The steam inside the earth pushes the rock out.As more and more rock comes out, it makes a pile that

12、 becomes a mountain. Sometimes the rock flows out like hot mush（糊状物）. Sometimes it is shot out in big chunks（厚块）of hard rock. The more stuff(填充物) that comes out, the higher the mountain grows.If the mountain is growing under the ocean, it becomes an island when it reaches the top of the water. The l

So did the big Hawaiian Islands and the enormous island of Iceland.Not many years ago in Mexico, a little boy and his father discovered a volcano growing in a cornfield. Smoke puffed up, and rock started popping up out of a crack that ope

14、ned in the ground.The boy thought the cornfield was throwing rocks at him! He picked one up. It was hot. He dropped it and ran away frightened. Smoke and rock continued to come from the crack in the ground. A new volcano was being born. The volcano in the cornfield grew until it was bigger than the

15、cornfield! Black smoke puffed out. Hot ashes fell like black snowflakes. Hot rock and fire and lava shot out. People called the volcano the Little Monster because it grew so fast. Scientists came from all over the world to study it and watch it grow. It is not often that people get a chance to watch

You must start, however, not in the resta

19、urant, but in the kitchen, helping the chef, to learn exactly how each dish is prepared. Then you will be able to tell the customers what the ingredients（原料） are and how the food is cooked. From this first step, you may enter the restaurant as a “commis”（厨助）, or learner. But you wont be allowed to s

20、erve the customers yet. They will only let you do the simplest jobs, laying the tables and carrying the plates and cutlery(餐具). But all the time you must watch and learn. Later you will be taught how to serve food, and if you are good at it, you may become “chef de rang” ( a waiter in charge of a nu

21、mber of tables). You may even become a head waiter eventually if you have the right sort of personality and you are not afraid of hard work.When Carlo Bianchi first arrived in London, he spoke only two words of English“please” and “Hello”. He managed to get a job helping in the kitchen of an Italian
