Passage 2

Vanuatu is a nation of small islands in the South Pacifc. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Some of the best swimming. snorkeling ( 潜游) , and sca kayaking (海上划艇) can be found here. Vanuatu's islands also offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano surfing and land diving.

On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters ( 1,000 feet) into the sky. Yasur is one of a few active volcanoes in the country. It cerupts (喷发) almost every day,sometimes several times a day.

Passage 3.

The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, accomplished a huge amount during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B.C, he started the construction of the Great Wall. He buit a large nctwork of roads. He introduced a new writing system, currency, and set of measurements. The emperor also ordered the construction of a huge army of life-sized trracotta soldiers (兵马俑) . These, he hoped, would proteet his tomb afer his death.

The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown, but they weren't always. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly,most of the colors did not last to the present day. After being exposed to air during excavation (挖掘) , the coating under the paint began to fall of. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking with it important pieces of history.

Now new techniqucs arc suarting to reveal the army's true colors. Archacologisus(考古学家)have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese and German researchers have developed a special liquid to help preserve the soldiers' colors. Afer they find a soldier or other artifacts ( 手工艺晶) ,archacologists spray it with the liquid. They then cover it in plastic.

Archacologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers. I's important not to disturb the dirt, so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the earth as an artifact," says archeologist Rong Bo, the museum's leading chemist. The next challenge,says Rong, is to find a way to apply the colors to the army again. Once that happens,artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to life in full, vivid color.
