Atlantic Ocean leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports Grimsvotn is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe What makes Grimsvotn different is that it lies under a huge glacier 冰川 of ice up to 12 meters thick The hot volcano heats up the ice above it which then forms a layer 层 of water between the glacier and the volcano This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano keeping it stable As the water flows ont from under the glacier the pressure lifts The lava 岩浆 from the volcano then comes up to the surface This is exactly what happened today Now airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash According to KLM one of Europe s biggest airlines airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane s engines causing damage to the plane The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland The volcano left ash and sharp glass like rocks all over the countryside Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ash covered grass or the sharp objects 语篇解读 本文向我们介绍了一座叫做 Crimsvotn 的火山 这座火山与其他火山最大的不 同在于 它位于厚达 12 米的冰川下面 1

to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26 funded with 2 5 million of taxpayers money was announced yesterday by Andy Burnham the Culture Secretary It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows Attendances reached 13 6 million in 2007 up 10 percent on 2006 itself a record year Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost 470 million One theatre source criticised the Government s priorities 优先考虑的事 in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel saying I don t know why the Government s wasting money on this The Young Vic as The Times reported today offers excellent performances at cheap prices There was praise for the Government s plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre who said I support any move to get young people into theatre and especially one that aims to do it all over England not just in London Ninety five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two year plan In return they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26 year olds first come first served It is likely to be on Mondays traditionally a quiet night for the theatre Mr Burnham said A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience and be inspired to explore a new world But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear it s not for them It s time to change this perception Jeremy Hunt the Shadow Culture Secretary said The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place For too many children theatres are a no go area 语篇解读
