Passage Three
A group of scientists rowing toward the center of a lake saw something shocking. They turned back as fast as they could. What had they seen.? The lake was boiling!
The group was investigating a crater lake in the mountains of St. Vincent. A crater lake is the mouth of a volcano that has been dormant for some time and has filled with water.
This particular crater was the tip of a volcano called Soufriere, which erupted last in 1902. Since that time, it had not shown any signs of action. But in the fall of 1971, mountain climbers who had hiked near the lake returned to the lowlands with strange stories. They said the water had turned yellow and was giving off a smell like burnt eggs. A seething fog was rising from the lake's surface.
Local scientists rushed to Soufriere to see if this might be the beginning of a new volcanic explosion. They found a huge black mass in the middle of the water. It was a great blob 1,000 feet long and 300 feet wide. Lava had pushed up through the bottom of the lake and formed a new island.
The investigators wanted to make sure that the volcano was safe, and that the lava would not over- flow into the surrounding countryside. But they could never reach the island to study it, because the lava was so hot that the water around it bubbled and boiled.

第14题:
Once a week my aunt would announce, "I am going to have my bath today."
Now most people find it fairly simple to have a bath.You probably remember how it goes.You enter the bathroom, you put the plug in, turn on the hot water, get into the bath, wash, sing, get out, dry yourself and exit.My aunt's approach was more epic(宏大的), like one of those long Eisenstein films where people seem to be climbing up the same flight of stairs forever.
My aunt would first slowly collect her clean linen(亚麻布衬衫), so as to have it all ready for changing into after her bath.This involved sorting out her linen, which took up most of the morning.Sometimes she would find an old letter buried among her linen, become interested in the memories it aroused and have to postpone the bath until the next day.But if all went well, she would have a bite of lunch and start Phase Two around two o'clock.
Phase Two was washing out the bath.She would wash the bath very thoroughly, rinse(冲洗) it with running cold water, rewash it and then carefully feel the whole surface with her fingers.If there was the slightest blemish, she would clean the whole bath out again.This took about an hour.Then she would fill the bath.
By this time she was feeling a bit hungry and exhausted.So she would put on the kettle for a cup of tea.Several cups of tea and several cream crackers (her favourite food) later, she would go back to the bathroom.And find the water stone cold.
