flooding was so bad that the ground was still underwater when fall arrived, which meant that farmers couldn’t even plant crops for the next year To make matters worse, the government of China was so disorganized and weak from the wars of the last decades, that they couldn’t gather together the resources and people needed to save the stranded villages

Ultimately, this is why the death toll was so high Millions of people starved to death, disease swept through weakened communities, and homeless refugees were stuck without shelter In some cases, the situation was so bad that people resorted to cannibalism, eating the dead just to survive

STUDENTS’ ANSWER

TAPESCRIPTS:

PART 1:

A: and I’d like to welcome Dr Joe Purdy of the Institute for Scientific Research

B: Thank you

A: Dr Purdy, what would you say is the most striking thing about volcanoes?

B: Well, volcanoes are a very powerful natural phenomenon And of course they can cause a

village with hundreds of people to disappear in seconds But for me, what is most amazing about them is the fact that they can erupt at any time, without any warning

A: Yes

B: But now scientists are working on the idea that volcanic eruptions are related to the moon A: The moon? Can this be possible?

B: Well, they think that the moon may effect volcanic eruptions For example, a volcano is

more likely to erupt when there is a full moon This is a very old idea, but it has never been tested until recently

A: I see

A: But not all volcanoes are dangerous killers

B: Really?

A: Take Mount Etna, in Sicily Everybody has heard of Mount Etna It’s called the "Friendly

Giant", not because it’s big - though it is - but because its lava moves very slowly This gives people time to escape It’s not a killer volcano even though it looks terrible during its

eruptions

B: Oh, I didn’t know that about its lava

A: It’s true Also, people have recorded the deaths caused by Mount Etna for over three

thousand years, and it has only killed seventy-three people in all that time That’s not very many when you think about it, though there was a large eruption in sixteen sixty-nine but nobody recorded any deaths

B: Amazing

A: Volcanoes are always changing for example, the cone, that’s the channel the lava flows

through, can close up and a new cone can form A new cone is actually a new volcano On the site of Mount Fuji in Japan, there were two other volcanoes there before the present one

B: Amazing!

A: Mount Fuji is actually a very popular place for tourists, including the Japanese It has about

four hundred

thousand visitors a year In the summer, there can be twenty thousand a day

B: And can you tell us about the word "volcano" itself?

A: Yes it comes from the Italian word "vulcano" which means "burning mountain", and that

comes from the Latin "Vulcanus" All "burning mountains", like Vesuvius and Mount Fiji, were given this name, but the name "Vulcanus" was first given by the Romans to Mount Etna

because they thought that it was the home of the god Vulcanus

PART 2: Listen and complete the sentences

DRIVERLESS CARS

Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there – they just need to see if they’re value for money, work out insurance issues, and run final tests to check they can run alongside human-driven cars on the road So how do they work? The cars have sensors all around which can detect other cars and obstacles in the road Sensors on the wheels also help when parking,

so the car knows how far it is from the kerb or other parked cars Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems are used so the car knows how to get to your

destination All you have to do is type in the address Finally, a central computer system takes

in all the information it receives from the sensors and cameras and processes this to work out when to accelerate, brake and steer However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars Computers would have difficulties making ethical decisions; if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or swerve and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun – I’d miss never being behind the wheel myself There would also be many legal decisions to be made – should children, or drunk people, be allowed

in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a responsible adult with a driving license in the car at all times?
