I often wondered why the people of Pompeii did not run away before the volcano erupted. As it turns out, they didn’t know what a volcano was. In fact, the Romans did not even have a word for “volcano”. 【小题1】They had no idea that a volcano would destroy them. Starting from 20 August AD 79, there were some earthquakes near the volcano. 【小题2】然而，没有一个人很注意这些. Then, on 24 August, the mountain explored, pouring out a cloud of ash. It was also moving quite fast. Most of the human remains from Pompeii have been found on the roads away from the city. 【小题3】The people were fleeing the city for their lives. However, they could not get away fast enough, 【小题4】so they were buried beneath the ash. A famous Roman scholar happened to be on a boat nearby when all of this happened, so he went to the area to see what was going on. Even he didn’t know what a volcano was. 【小题5】不幸的是他也死于这场灾难中.他们不知道一座火山会毁灭他们。
