YUZHOU, HENAN –An accident in a central China coal mine killed 21 miners Saturday and left another 16 trapped underground , the government said.

The death toll rose to 26 Sunday morning as rescuers were battling to reach the 11 miners who were still trapped underground, rescue headquarters said.

Rescuers were battling to reach the 11 miners still trapped underground, but chances for them to survive were very slim, said Du Bo, deputy chief of the rescue headquarters.

"Based upon past experience, the remaining 11 miners could be buried in coal dust, so the survival chances are frail," Du said.

More than 2,500 tons of coal dust smothered(厚厚的覆盖) the pit after the gas leak（漏出）, which hampered（阻碍） the rescue, said Du.

The gas outburst happened at 6:03 a.m. Saturday when 276 miners were working underground in the mine in Yuzhou City. A total of 239 workers escaped but 21 were found dead and 16 trapped.

An initial（最初的） investigation showed that 173,500 cubic meters of gas leaked out in the accident. Liu Wenbin, a deputy chief engineer of the company that owns the mine, was in the pit（矿井） when the accident happened. He organized the escape.

"At around 6 a.m., I felt there was something wrong with the airflow in the shaft, and one of the team captains told me he also felt it and had already reported the problem," said Liu

The mine is owned by Pingyu Coal & Electric Co. Ltd., a company jointly established by four investors, including Zhong Ping Energy Chemical Group and China Power Investment Corp.

BEIJING — The rescue operations at a coal mine accident have ended with 105 miners dead．The State Council has organized an investigation team to probe (调查) into what caused the disaster in the city of Linfen, North China’s Shanxi Province．Preliminary investigations show the illegal mining of an unauthorized seam, and the number of miners who had been sent down the shaft far exceeded its capacity．

This mine was found to have long disregarded the rules to steal state coal, and did not have a list of miners employed to check the number of miners missing after the accident．

How did such a coal mine get all the necessary licenses for production? How did it pass the three safety inspections the local government organized last month?

In response to this disaster, the Shanxi governor promised to set up hotlines for people to report illegal coal mines and rewards as high as 100,000 yuan for tip-offs．

We appreciate the action this governor has taken to solving the coal mining problems, and we believe that the reporting scheme will help to stop the existence of illegal coal mines．

But at the same time we have reason to question how governments at various levels supervise these mines．

The sad fact that such a mine with serious safety problems could pass three consecutive local government safety inspections in a month is enough to tell us how ineffective the safety inspections were．

What if these inspections were just a formality? What if the inspectors were bribed by the mine owners to turn a blind eye to the safety dangers? We can well imagine what would happen if reports about mine problems were handled by such officials．

So a thorough probe must find out who are responsible for the death of so many miners．A real safety inspection and management system must be established to guarantee that safety dangers will be removed．

1.What is NOT one of the causes of this coal mine accident?

A．The workers didn’t operate properly．

B．The mine didn’t obey the rules to mine for coal．

C．A lot more miners than allowed were working under the mine．

D．The safety inspections were ineffective．

2.According to the writer, who should be further investigated?

A．Mine owners and miners．

B．Miners’ families and mine staff．

C．Government officials and safety inspectors．

D．The Shanxi governor and miners．

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A．More than 105 miners died in the disaster．

B．Some other coal mines like this one exist in Shanxi province．

C．Safety inspectors just turned a blind eye to hidden dangers．

D．The three inspections were only a formality．

4.What does the underlined word “tip-offs” probably mean in Paragraph 4?

A．Some warnings．

B．Some money for one’s service．

C．Some secret information．

D．Some pieces of advice．
