Track 7 Reading 4A Sacred Summits Volcanoes are creators and destroyers.

They can shape lands and cultures, but can also cause great destruction and loss of life.

Two of the best known examples are found at opposite ends of the world, on the Pacific ring of fire.

Symbol of Japan It's almost sunrise near the summit of Japan's Mount Fuji.

Exhausted climbers, many of whom have hiked the 3,776 meters through the night to reach this point,

stop to watch as the sun begins spreading its golden rays across the mountain.

For the climbers, this is an important moment.

They have witnessed the dawn on Mount Fuji, the highest point in Japan.

Mount Fuji is a sacred site.

Japan's native religion, Shintoism, considers Fuji a holy place.

Other people believe the mountain and its waters have the power to make a sick person well.

For many, climbing Fuji is also a rite of passage.

Some do it as part of a religious journey, for others it is a test of strength.

Whatever their reason, reaching the top in order to stand on Fuji's summit at sunrise is a must for many Japanese.

Every July and August, hundreds of thousands attempt to do so.

Fuji is more than a sacred site and tourist destination, however.

It is also an active volcano around which 4 million people have settled

and it sits just 112 kilometers from the crowded streets of

tokyo the last time fuji erupted in 1707 it sent out a cloud of ash

that covered the capital city

and darkened the skies for weeks today new information has some Some volcanologists concerned that Fuji may soon erupt again,

according to Moto Ukawa and his associates at the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention,

there has been an increase in activity under Fuji recently.

This activity may be caused by low-frequency earthquakes.

what causes these quakes may help scientists predict when Fuji will come back to life.

In the meantime, locals living near Fuji hold special festivals each year to offer gifts to the goddess of the volcano,

as they have for generations, so that she will not erupt and destroy the land and its people below.

Mexico's Threatening Mountain Halfway across the globe from Fuji,

Popocatapetl, One of the world's tallest and most dangerous active volcanoes stands just 70 kilometers southeast of Mexico City.

Although the volcano, whose name means Smoking Mountain, has erupted many times over the centuries,

scientists believe its last great eruption occurred around AD 820.

In recent years, Popocatapetl is once again threatening the lives of the people near the mountain.

In December 2000, almost 26,000 people were evacuated when El Popo, as Mexicans call the mountain,

started to send out ash and smoke.

As with all active volcanoes, the question is not if it will erupt again.

An eruption is inevitable.

The question is when it will happen.

Every volcano works in a different way,

explains Carlos Valdez-Gonzalez, a scientist who monitors What we're trying to learn here are the symptoms signaling that El Popo will erupt.

These include earthquakes or any sign that the mountain surface is changing or expanding.

The hope is that scientists will be able to warn people in the surrounding areas so they have enough time to evacuate.

A powerful eruption could displace over 20 million people, people whose lives can be saved if the warning is delivered early enough.

For many people living near El Popo, especially farmers, abandoning their land is unthinkable.

As anyone who farms near a volcano knows, the world's richest soils are volcanic.

They produce bananas and coffee in Central America, fine wines in California, and enormous amounts of rice in Indonesia.

Today, many people continue to see El Popo as their ancestors did.

According to ancient beliefs, a volcano can be a god, a mountain, and a human all at the same time.

To appease El Popo and to ensure rain and a good harvest,

locals begin a cycle of ceremonies that starts in March and ends in August.

Carrying food and gifts for the volcano, they hike up the mountain.

After the summit, they present their offerings, asking the volcano to protect and provide for one more season.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
