Lesson67 Volcanoes

Haroun Tazieff， the Polish scientist, has spent his lifetime studying active volcanoes and deep caves in all parts of the world. In 1948, he went to Lake Kivu in the Congo to observe a new volcano which he later named Kituro. Tazieff was able to set up his camp very close to the volcano while it was erupting violently. Though he managed to take a number of brilliant photographs, he could not stay near the volcano for very long. He noticed that a river of liquid rock was coming towards him. It threatened to surround him completely, but Tazieff managed to escape just in time. He waited until the volcano became quiet and he was able to return two days later. This time, he managed to climb into the mouth of Kituro so that he could take photographs and measure temperatures. Tazieff has often risked his life in this way. He has been able to tell us more about active volcanoes than any man alive.

练习感悟：

文章的难度不知道从什么时候开始，已经有许多人（包括我）认为比以前难上很多了。但所幸之前学而思应该是从这篇文章开始认真了一点，总觉得没有前几天那么难读。

很快，就要走在学而思网校的前面了吧。

很期待。
