14、Y few hundred years, a sleeping giant in southern Italy awakens with a bang, spewing volcanic ash across the countryside. The volcano, called Mount Vesuvius, formed 25,000 years ago. During its most explosive eruptions, the volcano could blanket nearby cities with hot ash, sometimes also burying the

15、m with deadly flows of mud and rocks. One famous eruption occurred nearly 2,000 years ago, in the year AD 79. It lasted 18 hours and destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, killing thousands of people as they tried to escape.Scientists and city officials had supposed that Naples, one

16、of Italys most populous cities, was far enough away that it would be safe from the volcanos wrath. New evidence suggests that this might not be the case.Researchers recently discovered 4000-year-old layers of ash and mud under present-day Naples. Just outside the city, they also uncovered abandoned

17、villages, as well as human and animal skeletons. Most surprising of all, the researchers say, was the discovery of thousands of footprints from the same time period, pressed into layers of wet ash that had rained from the sky. The footprints show that thousands of people were fleeing to the northwes

18、t, away from the volcano, as it erupted.Mount Vesuvius hasnt had a major eruption since 1631, but its still very active. The discovery of the ancient ash layers, skeletons, and footprints is a warning that modern Naples, a city of 3 million people, isnt safe from the volcano, scientists say. So, whe

19、n the volcano begins to rumble again, Naples should have an emergency evacuation plan ready - just in case.26. Which of the following is true with Mount Vesuvius?A. It formed 2,500 years ago.B.

22、by researchersD. propose a plan for escapeBTragedy struck for brothers Rob and Paul Forkan when they lost their parents in the 2004 Asian tsunami. Now, over ten years later, theyre using their flip flop business to help other orphans.The boys had an unusual childhood. They were just 11 and 13 when t

23、heir parents, Kevin and Sandra, took them out of the UK education system and moved the family to Goa in India. Their parents were of the philosophy that they would receive a healthier and fullereducation by traveling the world and helping others. There they did lots of voluntary work and mixed with

24、the local community. It was when the family were on holiday in Sri Lanka that the tsunami hit. Although the children managed to escape, their parents tragically couldnt. But Paul says their upbringing meant they were able to cope with this tough blow. Our parents gave us this confidence that we coul

25、d do anything, that nothing was hard to achieve, says Paul.What the boys did was to start a business selling ethically-sourced sandals. Theyre called Gandys after the father of Indias independence movement, Mahatma Gandhi. He was in all our schoolbooks as kids; hes on all the money over in India; he

26、s famous for wearing his flip flops, says Paul. The entire project was inspired by their parents philosophy, their globetrotting childhoods and what happened to them in Sri Lanka. Their parents had previously worked in the fashion industry before quitting their jobs and focusing on humanitarian proj

27、ects. Thus, Gandys is a very fitting tribute to their lives. Gandys sells flip-flops and donates 10 percent of the profits from every pair sold to orphans around the globe. In conjunction with Gandys,the Forkans also founded Orphans for Orphans, a charitable organization dedicated to helping orphans

28、. They say they can make a profit and do good at the same time: they give 10% of their profit to charity, and have set up their own foundation through which theyve been able to open a childrens home in Sri Lanka.This year alone, Gandys has sold 250,000 pairs of flip flops, which is only expected to

29、increase. In 2013, the business made around 1.2 million pounds ($1.8 million). With more profits, more orphans will receive assistance. Hence, its safe to say that the Forkan brothers are making their parents very proud.31. The two brothers left the UK for India because _.A. the UK education system

30、is not so good as that of IndiaB. their parents had humanitarian projects in IndiaC. the voluntary work in Goa attracted themD. their parents expected them to grow through travelling32.

31、re left hopeless after the tsunamiC. their parents died soon after they settled in IndiaD. the two brothers had a troubled childhood33. Why did the brothers name their sandals after Gandhi?A. Because Gandhi wears and sells flip flops.B. Because Gandhi always helps orphans.C. Because Gandhi is influe
