Chinese volleyball superstar Zhu Ting has inspired a new English word. "Stay awesome and ZHUperb!" wrote a blogger at a US-based volleyball website. The word combines "Zhu" and "superb (卓越的)", to describe the 27-year-old player.

The area around Taal Lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines is known for its natural beauty. Tourism is popular there as travelers go there to see the scenery that surrounds Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was quiet for years until January 12, 2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home.

But the ash didn't stop the residents of Binan, a city that is 35 km south of Manilla, from finding a way to help their neighbors in the towns that suffered the most from Taal. Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks (麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities.

“What we plan is to turn them into hollow blocks and bricks and sell them to interested companies,” Dimaguila said. But he noted, the money would be donated to the people directly affected by the volcano. “When Batangas (the region where Taal is located) is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth,” Dimaguila said. “The misfortune of our neighbors in Batangas is there. Let's transform this into opportunity.”

The Philippines, located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire: zone of fire” and part of the typhoon belt, is a country that is known for natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and major storms. But the Filipino people show their strong will and community spirit.

32. What has happened to Taal Volcano?

A. It attracts more and more visitors.

B. It becomes quieter and quieter.

C. It is covered with ash completely.

D. It causes bad effects on the locals.

33. What are people advised to do according to Walfredo Dimaguila?

A. To collect volcanic ash for recycling.

B. To save sacks for factories to use.

C. To set up a factory for making bricks.

D. To build communities for people from disasters.

34. What can we infer from Dimaguila's words in Paragraph 3?

A Companies are expected to donate money.

B. Bricks made of volcanic ash are popular.

C. Batangas has been the most misfortune.

D. Turning ash into bricks benefits the earth.

35. What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Taal Lake on Luzon Island is destroyed.

B. Taal Volcano has enjoyed popularity.

C. Disasters always hit the Philippines.

D. The Filipino people turn ash into treasure.
