Eruptions of Mount Saint Helens
On March 27,the US Govemment scientists made a decision after they predicted the emption of Mount Saint Helens.They telephoned all state and local officials in the area and told them that a serious eruption was possible at any time,Roads were closed to every one except scientists and forest keepers struggled to keep curious visitors away from the mountain.
Shortly after noon on March 27,Mount Saint Helens erupted for the first time in 1 23 years.People living north of the mountain heard a loud boom that shook their windows,and airline pilots flying near the volcano soon afterwards described a thick black colunm of ash and steam shooting more than 2,100 meters into the sky.
Later,scientists found that the explosion had made a new crater(大坑)in the top of the mountain.not far from the old crater.The north side of the peak now had a huge bulge(凸出部分) where rock and ice had been pushed out by the eruption.
A second eruption shook the mountain on March 28.It,too,sent up a column of black ash high into the sky.By March 29,scientists flying over the mountain saw that a second crater
formed about 9 meters from the first one.Strange blue flames flickered(闪烁)inside the crater and sometimes jumped from one crater to the other.
By April the mountain had erupted several more times and the snow on the north slope of the peak was black with ash.Ash carried by the wind had fallen on towns as far as 240 kilometers
away from Mount Saint Helens.
During the first week of April,Mount Saint Helens gave scientists something new to worry about:harmonic tremors(震动)recorded by scientists showed a big eruption would happen.All during April and into May Mount Saint Helens continued to shudder(震动)and shoot out ash.By.April8, two craters had merged to from a vast hole nearly a half of a kilometer wide and 250 meters deep.
Scientists'main worry during this time was the growing bulge of rock and ice on.the north face of the mountain.By May 7 scientists feared the worst.Their warnings led Washington Governor to set up safety zones around the mounmin.The inner"red"zone was open to scientists only.The outer"blue"zone was open only to people who got special permits.But in spite of
these warnings,some people got past the road barriers and risked their lives trying to get close to the volcano.
16 American scientists predicted that Mount Saint Helens was to erupt soon.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
17 Pilots flying at the height of more than 2,100 meters saw a thick black column of ash and steam shooting up into the air from the crater.

Electromagnetic Energy
1.White light seems to be a combination of all colors.The energy that comes from a source of light is not limited to the kind of energy you can see.Heat is given off by a flame or an electric light.On a cloudy day it is possible to get a sunbam even though you feel coo1.Visible light and the kinds of energy that produce warmth and sunburn are examples of electromagnetic energy.
2.The sun is 93 million miles from the earth.Yet we can use energy from the sun because electromagnetic energy travels through space.
3.Many Other kinds of energy are also types of electromagnetic energy.Radio,television,and radar signals travel from transmitters to receivers as low-energy electromagnetic wavesl Infrared(红外线的)radiation is an electromagnetic wave.When it is absorbed by matter.heat is produced.Waves of infrared and visible light have more energy than waves of radio,television,or radar.Ultraviolet rays(紫外线)and X-rays are electromagnetic waves with even greater amounts of energy.Infrared radiation is used in cooking food and heating buildings.Sunlight and electric lights are part of our requirements for normal living.Ultraviolet radiation is useful in killilag certain disease organisms.X-rays and gamma rays have so much energy that they travel right through solid obieets.They can be used to detect and treat cancer.X-rays are used in industry to find hidden cracks in metal.and in medicine to reveal broken bones.
4. Usually we use electricity to.generate electromagnetic energy.The source of most of our energy is the sun.Heat from the sun causes water to evadorate.When the water falls to the earth as rain.some of it is trapped behind dams and then used to operate electric generators.Other generators are powered by coal,but the energy stored in coal came from the sun,too.
5.Until recently,the source of the tremendous amount of energy given off by the sun was a puzzle.If the sun depended on chemical reactions.it would have used up all its energy long ago.Experiments with electromagnetic radiation led to the theory that mass can be converted into energy.About forty years after the theory was proposed,nuclear energy was hamessed(利用)by man.Chemical energy comes from electron(电子)rearrangement.Nuclear energy comes from a change in the nucleus of an atom.Compared with chemical reactions,nuclear reactions release millions of times more energy per pound of fuel.We now believe that the sun's energy comes from the nuclear reactions in which hydrogen is changed into helium (氦).
6. Nuclear energy is beginning to compete with coal as an economical source of power to generate electricity.It is also being used to operate engines in large ships.Scientists continue to seek new and better methods of obtaining and using energy.
