Reading

M. Read the story and fill in the sentences below. One sentence does not match.

The Early Warning

Max and Hugh were almost at the top of the volcano. They were both exhausted after climbing Mount
Alamana, so they decided to camp for the night.
66 “What was that?” said Hugh, “It’s the volcano”, replied Max. 67 They ran down the
mountainside leaving all their belongings behind them. They didn’t stop until they arrived at the village at
the foot of the volcano.
68 asked the policeman as they ran into the small police station. “Mount Alamana is about to
erupt”, said Hugh. “Warn the villagers!”. 69 Just as the last car drove away there was a huge
explosion and the sky filled with thick smoke as the volcano erupted.
Later, the grateful villagers held a party in honour of the two climbers. 70 The two men felt very
embarrassed, but also proud of themselves for saving the villagers from the volcano with their early
warning!

A “Let’s get out of here, now!”

B They were sleeping peacefully in their tent, when suddenly a loud rumbling noise woke them both up.
C “What’s wrong?”
D The boys didn’t see any villagers.
E “You saved our lives”, they said to Max and Hugh and shook their hands.
F Soon everyone was climbing into cars and trucks hurrying to leave the village.
