READING 1
1 Read the text. Then complete the fact file below.
It was 14th January, 1993. A team of 13 scientists and three tourists were at the Galeras volcano in Colombia. They were
examining the gas levels inside the crater and they were trying to understand what happens before a volcano erupts. They
didn’t know they were in great danger.
Before an eruption, there are usually more gases in the volcano. But on this day, there were only small levels of gas, so the
scientists weren’t worried. Then, suddenly there was a loud boom and red hot rocks started flying out of the crater.
Stanley Williams was one of the scientists on the expedition. He was one of only seven people to survive the inferno, but he
was badly hurt. Willliams couldn’t run because he broke both of his legs in the accident. Luckily, he managed to hide behind
some large rocks until two brave friends came looking for survivors. “They saved my life,” he said later in hospital.
It’s still difficult to predict when exactly a volcano will erupt. However, the Galeras tragedy gave scientists important
information about volcanic activity. Hopefully, this information can help save lives in the future.

READING 2
1 Read the text. Then find the information below.
Are you feeling the stress of homework and exams? Stress can cause many health problems, including headaches, stomach aches and
even sore throats. What’s the solution? You can take medicine for headaches and stomach aches, and drink tea with honey for your sore
throat. Or you can try to reduce the stress in your life. But how?
Scientists recommend listening to music because music can have a positive effect on our health. For example, listening to relaxing music
makes your blood pressure go down and it helps you sleep better. According to research, listening to music frequently can make
headaches disappear and can reduce the number of headaches you get.
Music has got other health benefits, too. It can help prevent health problems like sore throats and stomach aches. How? There are special
bacteria-fighting proteins in our body. While listening to music, we produce 150% more of these proteins. So, thanks to the power of
music, we can protect ourselves better against these dangerous bacteria.
What music should you listen to in order to reduce stress and stay healthy? The answer is simple: any music you really enjoy. You know
what music calms you and makes you happy. So just listen or sing along to your favourite songs!
