Now more and more people are joining in the game, and getting addicted. Some of them are even found playing the game at work. Because of this, some players have been fired by their bosses. Lovers have broken up, but none of them can stop Happy Farms from becoming more popular.

              Fifteen people were killed and 20 injured,three of them seriously, in a blaze (fire)set off by fireworks
    inside a bar called Latin Bar in southeast China. The accident happened on the evening of January 31 in the city
    of Changle, Fujian Province, when a group celebrating a birthday set off fireworks at their table inside the bar.
    The firecrackers made the electric line burning, and the lines burnt the things in the bar. These things decorated
    the bar and gave off some terrible gas that made people die when they breathed much. After they were sent to
    the hospital, two men died later. Among them the youngest was only 17 years old. It happened just after the
    Spring Festival. 
              A lot of parents were waiting in the hospital. Some of them were so sad that they cried for a long time.
    A woman in a red coat, one of her shoes was lost on the ground cried so hard that she couldn't say anything.
    She was the mother of the youngest dead child. A young man told the reporter that he was one of the workers
    who once worked in the bar and just left the bar before Spring Festival. He felt very frightened. His five other
    workmates were also dead. He told people that there were many people in the bar and the bar used some bad
    materials to decorate. So once there is a fire, these bad things will give off poisonous (harmful) gas which can
    make people die in a short time. 
               "Why did this kind of thing happen again and again in our country?" people asked the leaders of the
    police. We hope this accident will not happen any more.
    1. Why was there a big fire during the birthday party?
    [     ]
    A．Because some people lit cigarettes.
    B．Because some people smoked.
    C．Because some people lit candles.
    D．Because some people lit some firecrackers.
    2. Why did a lot of people die during this big fire?
    [     ]
    A．They breathed much terrible gas.
    B．They fell down and knocked into the fire.
    C．They jumped down from the tall building.
    D．They ate a lot of terrible food.
    3. What is the main reason which made so many people die?
    [     ]
    A．The firefighters came late.
    B．It happened at night.
    C．The wind was too strong.
    D．The bar decorates its room with some bad things.
