　Pinatubo awoke on　1　 .Hot ash and gas flowed down the hillside and ash clouds rose 　2　 into the atmosphere.

　　On the volcano's slopes, seven cubic kilometers of pulverized（成粉末状） rock now lay in drifts（漂流）　3　 feet thick, totally reshaping the landscape.

One of the first dangers is falling debris（残骸） collecting on houses and causing roofs to collapse（塌陷）.In fact that was the main killer for this eruption.The eruption had come with the annual Typhoons that regularly swept the Islands.Heavy rainfall hit the hot and loosely packed volcanic debris.It was to be the start of a terror（恐怖） that would kill the people here long after the eruption stopped.

Imagine a truck delivering wet concrete（混凝土）.But expand that material to 　4　 cubic meters of debris-all moving at the same time-and you have a Lahar（火山泥石流）.

40 kilometers downstream from Mount Pinetubo is the town of Bacalor.Years after the eruption stopped, this town still suffers the onslaught（冲击） of Lahars.Most of its population of 　5　 have departed to resettlement camps.

About 　6　of the population of Bacalor never left.They had been warned many times but the people remained.They seemed to be there forever.

Every year when the rains come new Lahars swamp（淹没）the town raising the land ever higher.Still people rebuild their homes.

　　Some of them have houses twice or even three times.And some people gave up, and others raised it 　7　.

Bacalor was originally a township of twenty-one large villages.Today only 　8　 remain.

The broken remains of Mount Pinetubo are silent now.But its volcanic ash lay heavy on its slopes.Just 　9　 of heavy rain, can produce a Lahar.It is not unusual to have eighteen Typhoons a year.So Philippine scientists constantly monitor（检测） the weather on the mountain's slopes.Since the eruption, 　10　 Lahars have occurred, and all resulted from Typhoon rain.To reduce its damage, a huge system has now been constructed.

Normally,when you get on board the bus,you flash your EZ-link card and move in and when you get down the bus,you flash your card again at the exit door(located at the middle of the bus).We all know that if we forget to flash the card,full fare will be deducted(扣除) from the card.?

Below is something not known to public:?

If you get off from the entrance door and you flash your card,the card will capture another entrance fare instead of exit fare,thus meaning that two full fares will be deducted from the card as no exit was being captured for the two entrances.For example,you board a crowded bus at Pasir Ris(where it stops at Jurong East) and ?decided to get down ten stops later from the door you had entered.If you flash your card at the entrance door without informing the bus driver,a second entrance fare will be captured instead of exit fare thus you are paying two full fares(2×$1.90=$3.80) instead of one fare.This is useful information.?

　　 One month ago,　all six girls in my dormitory(including me) had made detailed plans for a more－exciting－than－ever Christmas holiday.　But　one day we received an unusual mission:(?).The children would perform on stage while volunteers offered food to the spectators(观众) and collect some money for the organization.?

　　 Naturally,　we were supposed to support the idea wholeheartedly,　and we did.　But wait—　　　　　　　　　　!This meant that all our original Christmas plans would have to be set aside.?

　　 However,　we took the plunge into preparations for the party.　We spared no effort in organizing,　designing,　propagandizing,　making contacts with the potential sponsors,　negotiating and so on.　We went through thick and thin and finally made it,　though with a bit of reluctant.?

　　 Finally,　Christmas Eve arrived.　As I dragged myself into the auditorium after another day of hard work,　I detected the notes of a beautiful Christmas song that immediately filled me with happiness.　I looked to find the source of the song—it was a group of children singing on stage.　Though disabled,　they appeared extraordinarily earnest and sincere in front of the audience.　Everyone attending was deeply moved by the sight.　People wanted to donate some money or show their support.　The performers earned recognition and respect from all of us.?

　　 At that point,　I found all that I had done in the one－month time was worthwhile.　And all the volunteers who had been participating in this Christmas party shared the same feeling:　the true meaning of Christmas was giving and receiving love from one another.?

In so many ways, cyberspace mirrors the real world. 　1　 Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love. Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity(身份) and appearance mean very little in cyberspace.　2　 So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star. Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn't create problems. Identity doesn't really matter when you're in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies and it makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests??　3　? They're looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.

Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other. Personal appearance doesn't get in the way. But critics of online relationships arguer that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why??　4　? Internet users can carefully make their words fit whatever image they want to give. In a sense, they're not really themselves. All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace.?　5　?With so many unknowns, it's easy to let one's imagination “fill in the blanks”. This leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you'll find on a computer screen.”

A. When we talk with others on the line, we can express ourselves freely.

B. But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with.

C. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips.

D. Generally speaking, online friends and love are worth seeking for.

E. Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them.

F. Rather, a person's thoughts—or at least the thoughts they type—are what really count.

G. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship.
