What does a volcanologist do Is the work interesting
What’s the main topic of the article
His work can save many lives because people in the path of the lava can be warned to leave their home.
The writer expressed his love for his job as a volcanologist and told us one of his unusual experience in Mount Kilauea,Hawaii.
Why is the lava that flows on Mount Kilauea more dangerous than the actual eruption
The lava that flows slowly down the mountain causes far more damage because it buries everything in its path under the molten rock.

Period 4 grammar
Review the usage of –ing form.
Examine the sentences beloew and discuss
in what way the structures similar to each
other and in what way they are different
Looking carefully at the ground, I made
my way to the edge of the crater.
The –ing form used as an adverbial
Having experienced quite a few earthquakes
in Hawaii already, I didn’t take much notice.
Having + past participle (the perfect –ing
form) to refer to an action that took place before the time expressed by main verb.
小结-ing 形式的用法
1. –ing 形式作状语
用法 例句
时间 Walking along the street, I met Mary. (= While I was walking along the street….)在街上走的时候，我遇到了玛丽。
原因 Being tired , I stopped to take a rest. (= Because I was tired, ….)因为疲倦，我停下来休息。
条件 Turning to the left, you will find the schoo. (= If you turn to the left, ….)向左走，你就会找到那个学校
让步 Knowing where I live, he never come to see me .(= Though he knows where I
live, ….)尽管他知道我的住处，但从不来看我。
伴随 I stood there, waiting for her. (= …, and waited for her.)我站在那儿等她。
结果 It rained heavily, causing severe flooding in the area.(= It rained heavily so that it caused severe flooding in the area.)在这个地方雨下的如此大，以至引发了洪灾。
2. –ing形式的完成式
句型 主动 Having +p.p. …, 主语+谓语
被动 (Having been)+p.p. …, 主语+谓语
用法 –ing形式的完成式所表示的时间在谓语动词之前
表示被动可直接用过却分词
例句 Having finished my work, I went home. (= After I had finished my work, ….)工作做完只后，我就回家了。
例句
(Having been) written in haste, the book has some faults. 这本书因仓促写成，所以有些缺憾。
3. 使用-ing形式需注意的几个问题。
分词(短语)作状语时，其逻辑主语必须与
句子的主语一致。如果不一致，必须用独
立主格结构来表示，也就是在分词前面加
上它的逻辑主语。 My wife had a long talk with Sally,
explaining why she didn’t want the
children to play together我妻子与莎莉
谈了很长时间，解释她为什么不想让孩子
们在一起玩。(现在分词explaining是句子
主语my wife做的动作，它们之间是主动
关系,即explaining的逻辑主语，就是句子
的主语my wife 。) The train having gone,we had to wait another day.（the train逻辑主语 + having gone 既为独立主格结构）
分词短语做状语时，前面可以加上连词或 介词，但是分词短语和句子之间不能用并列连词(如but，and)，因为并列连词接的是两个并列成分，而分词短语只是全句的一个状语部分。分词和主句之间可用逗号。
例如: 误: Having been told many times，but he
still couldn’t understand it。 正: He was told many times, but he still
couldn’t understand it。或
Having been told many times， he still
couldn’t understand it。
-ing的一般式和完成式现在分词都可以表示先后接连发生的动作。在可能引起误解的场合应该用完成式现在分词表示先发生的动作。
例如:
Opening the drawer，he took out his
wallet. (=He opened the drawer and took
out his wallet.)他打开抽屉，拿出钱包。
Coming into the room，he put down his
bag. (=he came into the room and put
down his bag.)他走进房间，放下提包。
Having brushed his teeth，Mr. Brown
came downstairs for breakfast.
布朗先生刷过牙，就下楼来吃早饭。 (此句如写成:Brushing his teeth,
Mr. Brown came downstairs for
breakfast.可能指“边刷牙，边下楼’。)
分词的否定形式是在分词短语前面
加上 not, never等否定词构成。例如:
Not fearing the fire, the childtouched
and got a finger burnt. 小孩儿不知道怕
火，用手去摸，把手指烫了。 Not knowing how to find the subway,
I asked a policeman for help. 我不知道怎
样找到地铁，就去找警察帮忙。
Ex:

presen or the perfect –ing form of

Listening text:
Experiencing Volcanoes Close Up
Hi, I am jane small. I’ve been a volcanologist for five years but I stilll remember the first time I went into a crater. I was terrified. We were at the top of an active volcano in Alaska. The more experienced people in the group were already on the edge of the crater but I was so anxious, I could not move for a long time. I had to force myself not to panic. Eventually I managed to walk down to the others but I was still terrified.
Then I got up the courage to bend over the boiling lava and collect a sample. I was so excited about what I had done and where I was that I forgot my fear. After that I was never as frightened again, although I’m always careful. It was would be very foolish to become careless when you’re standing on a live volcano.
Hi, I am Frank Gore. I’ve been studing volcanoes for almost 10 years. The most frightening experience I’ve ever had was while flying over a volcano in Hawaii. I had just
finished making a map of the direction of the lava. Suddenly, the clouds came down really low and the helicopter Pilot couldn’t tell where we were, so she flew down below the clouds, very close to the volcano. We flew between the fiery red lava below and the thick, dark clouds above. I was so nervous my whole body was damp with sweat. I was very relieved when we finally reached our camp.
Hi, I am Sarah Tang. I’ve been studing volcanoes for almost twenty years. I’ll never forget the amazing experience I had on a
volcano in New Zealand. I was down in the crater taking measurements. We weren’t expecting any activity from the volcano, so I thought I was safe. Then suddenly, the ground under my feet began to tremble. The trembling got stronger and stronger and after about a minute, a large cloud of steam blew out of the ground. That’s when I realised I was standing on an active volcano. Believe me, I was trembling almost as much as the ground under my feet. I was very worried that the colcano might erupt while Iwas still inside it.
