Lesson 67    Volcanoes

Haroun Tazieff， the Polish scientist, has spent his life-time 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：

今天也是平凡琐碎忙碌的一天，午饭后做任务准备工作。好在这篇不难，知识笔记里更多的复习以前学过用过的单词词组。读了几遍听了几遍，人名和地名有点拗口，差点没有时间做任务了，读得还算熟练。

还好坚持下来了！继续！
