A

Paricutin was born in Mexico in February, 1943. At that time, Paricutin was 500 feet

high, and it is now over 9, 000 feet high. Today Paricutin is asleep.

What is Paricutin? It was the first volcano(火山) in the world which was seen from its

birth right up to the present day. On February 20, 1943, a peasant and his wife set out

to work in their corn fields from the Mexican village of Paricutin. They were surprised

to find the earth warm under their feet. Suddenly they heard noise deep in the earth and

a small hole appeared in their field. In the afternoon there was a sudden loud noise and

stones were thrown high in the air. The peasants ran from the field and turned to watch.

They saw the birth of a volcano.

Large quantities of stone and lava (岩浆) broke out and a little hill began to form.

By evening this hill was 100 feet high and hot ashes (灰烬) were falling on the village.

At night the strong light of the hot lava lit up the countryside. The trees near the village

were killed and the villagers had to leave their houses. When the village was destroyed,

its name was given to the volcano. The news quickly reached Mexico City, far to the east.

Many people came to watch the scene. The volcano grew and grew for ten years and hundreds

of square miles of forest were destroyed. Then Paricutin went to sleep.

21. Paricutin was once the name of ________.

A. an old mountain B. a peasant C. a village D. a Mexican
