on night duty, he dreamed that a volcano (火山) near the Island of Java erupted (爆发), and that the local
people were buried under lava (熔岩).
When he woke up from the bad dream with a start, he thought it was very interesting material, so he wrote
it down on a piece of paper, left it on the desk and went home. Early in the morning, the editor-in-chief came
to work and saw the paper. He took it for the latest news that something important had happened last night and
published it immediately. Only later did he find out it was just about what Mr. Samson had seen in his dream.
But it was all too late because the newspaper had already been delivered (传送). And it caused a great panic.
In no time the editors met to discuss the serious problem. They finally decided to make an apology in the
newspaper. Just at that time word came that a volcano on a small Island between Java and Sumatra did erupt.
The eruption made the small island lose two thirds of its area, and the seismic sea waves caused tragedy (悲剧)
in human.

(where I first knew him)he has traveled all over the world collecting animals for his very own zoo. He hoped
to collect two examples of every kind of animal on his island, like Noah before the Great Flood. But the flood
that my friend was afraid of, was a flood not of water, but of people. I think you have heard of my friend; he
writes books about his travels, and about the wild and wonderful animals that he collects. The money from the
books helps to pay for all the food that these animals eat.
My friend told me that when he was out looking for water last week (there is not enough water on the
island, though there is plenty all round it), he found oil. He needs money for his travels, and for his zoo, and a
little oil would buy enough water for all his life; but he knows that if he tells anybody else about it, it will be the
end of his zoo, and his life"s work.
I know my friend,he will not tell anybody (except you and me) about what he found-because oil and water
do not mix.

C. a lot of animals
D. a great deal of oil
B. He sells oil on the island.
C. He writes books and sells them.
D. He shows his animals to people
B. he won"t get water if people come to look for oil
