When Charles Strattion was five, he stopped growing. His mother took him to see the famous showman; P.T.Barnum thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles’ parents along with him, and they traveled around the world together.
He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a new name, general Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act, and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.

Throwing waste into a volcano sounds like a neat way to get rid of at least some of the mountains of waste we produce, but in reality it is a bit more difficult and dangerous!
“For a volcano to be able to effectively digest waste material it would have to be actively erupting,” says Dr Alanna Simpson, a researcher at Geoscience Australia.
We don’t have any active volcanoes in Australia. Throwing garbage into a dormant(休眠的) volcano, such as Mt Gambier in South Australia, as a way of removing waste would be useless as it may not erupt for hundreds of thousands of years.
“Putting waste into this volcano would destroy its natural beauty and appeal,” says Simpson.
Of course, a volcano that is actively erupting is a pretty dangerous place to hang out. Approaching the mouth of a volcano with a garbage truck full of rubbish would be extremely hazardous.
“Not only is there lava(熔岩), such as with the Hawaiian volcanoes, there may also be poisonous gases, rocks and lava being erupted into the air,” explains Simpson.
In fact, erupting volcanoes are often considered so dangerous that people are typically moved out from around the vent(火山口).
Volcanoes, whether active or dormant, are also often considered places of extreme natural beauty and many are protected as national parks.
So throwing our waste into volcanoes isn’t the simple solution it might seem. Maybe we should just think about using less and recycling more.
1.According to this passage, putting waste into a dormant volcano would ______?
A. cause danger B. resulted in nothing
C. bring destruction to nature D. poison people
2.What is Dr Simpson’s attitude towards the suggestion of throwing waste into volcanoes?
A. She is in favour of it. B. She is against it.
C. She doesn’t reveal her opinion. D. She partly agrees with it.
3.What does the underlined word “hazardous” mean in Paragraph 5?
A. Dangerous. B. Exciting. C. Difficult. D. Effective.
4.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. What should we do with volcanoes?
B. An ideal way to deal with rubbish.
C. A problem of rubbish.
D. Why don’t we throw waste into volcanoes?
