Step 3 Skimming
Skim the text and answer the following questions.
1.What is the writer
He is a volcanologist working for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. He mainly collects information about Mount Kilauea.
2．When did he first see an eruption How did it look like
It was in the second week after he arrived in Hawaii. It was very bright although it was night. Red lava fountained hundreds of meters into the air and it was a fantastic sight.
3. What was he wearing when getting close to the crater And what was the result
He was wearing white protective suits that covered his whole body, helmets, big boots and special gloves, just like a spaceman. As a result, it made him difficult to walk.
Step 4 Scanning
Scan the text and answer the following questions.
1. Why is a volcanologist’s job important
Volcanologists study volcanoes so that they can warn people when the volcano is going to erupt and so save many lives.
2. Why is the lava that flows on Mount Kilauea more dangerous than the actual eruption
The lava flows down the mountain and can cover up or burn villages in its path. The rocks that erupt from the volcano usually don’t damage anything because no one lives near the crater.
3. Why did the scientists have to get close to the volcano after it began erupting
The scientists needed to get samples of the lava so they could study them.
4. What does the writer find impressive about volcanoes even after studying them for 20 years
The author is impressed by the beauty of the eruption and also by its potential to cause great destruction.

my bed began shaking
a strange sound
My bedroom became as bright as day
an absolutely fantastic sight
red hot lava was fountaining hundreds of meters into the air
2. What did the scientists do after the eruption
put on white protective suits, helmets, big boots
dropped as closed as possible to the crater
slowly make our way to the edge of the crater
looked down into the red boiling center
Step 6 Homework

2．Finish exercises in Learning about Language. (Ex. 1, 2)
