In fact, anyon

34、e who loves someone will be moved by this movie. Maybe it is because the story was inspired by a real-life event. The movie is based on a novel by prize-winning cartoonist Berkeley Breathed.

40、 explosive volcanoes in Indonesia. He knows when to get close to an active volcano and when to back away.Rampino wasnt always a volcanologist. He worked for NASA for seven years. He studied rocks until he began to research climate change and the effects that volcanoes have on climate. He became inte

41、rested in the subject. “Once I started working with volcanoes,” Rampino said, “I was hooked.”Rampino is a professor at New York University. As part of his job, he travels to areas where volcanoes have been active. “Active” means they have erupted within the past few centuries and probably will erupt

42、 again. Rampino studies the deposits (沉积物) of ash and other materials from the eruptions. The ash may hold clues to what happened to the Earth in the distant past. It may also help scientists predict what could happen to Earths climate in the future.Rampino doesnt work alone. He works with a team of

43、 scientists who use computers to stimulate (模拟) the effects volcanoes have on Earths atmosphere.Being a volcanologist may be hard work, but its also fun. “Its cool traveling the world studying volcanoes,” Rampino says.

47、le, you will not find anyone who lives there all the time.First, Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth. For example, it can be l30 in the winter. Humans cannot live in this kind of environment. Because it is so cold, very few plants or animals live there. This means there are no farms and no plac

48、es to find wild plants or animals to eat.Second, Antarctica can be dangerous. Many people think that it is safe to travel to Antarctica in the summer months when it is warmer. However, Antarctica is mostly ice, so when its summer, the ice melts. When the ice melts, the ice can break. So, people cann

49、ot travel around Antarctica during the summer. If the ice breaks, they could fall into the water and die.Another serious problem in Antarctica is the sun. Because Antarctica is mostly ice, there are no trees so there is no shade. Also, the ground is mostly white ice so the sun bounces off (反射) it. T

50、he light from the sky and the light from the ground can burn peoples skin and hurt their eyes. People must be very careful in this situation. For example, they must wear sunglasses to protect their eyes. They must also cover their hands and faces all the time.Although Antarctica is a tough place to
