“One thing I enjoy about my job is that I can work on something that is actually active,” says Game McGimsey, an American volcanologist(火山学家). Part of his job includes keeping an eye on Alaska’s many active volcanoes and giving people a heads-up when a volcano might erupt(喷发).

Like most jobs in the science, volcanology requires a lot of education. McGimsey received an undergraduate degree in geology at the University of North Carolina, then landed an internship(实习期) with a geologist at the USGS(美国地质勘探局) whose work field was about volcanoes. After earning a graduate degree at the University of Colorado, McGimsey accepted a job with the USGS and has been with the Alaska Volcano Observatory for 25 years.

Volcanoes can influence the world in ways we might not think about. For example, on Dec.15 1989, a 747 jetliner (a large airplane) flew through a thick ash cloud produced by Mount Redoubt, an Alaskan volcano that hadn’t erupted in 25 years. The ash caused all four engines to die, and the plane’s electronics went dead.

“The plane was within several thousand feet of flying into the mountains below when the pilots got a couple of engines restarted and landed safely in Anchorage,” McGimsey says. It cost nearly $80 million to repair the damage to the plane.

Such situations show just how dangerous volcanoes can be. However, volcanologists know the risks and are prepared to protect themselves.

McGimsey admits, “There is certainly a higher danger level in volcanology than some other jobs. We understand how serious the danger is, and we don’t like taking unnecessary chances. We avoid getting too close to an erupting volcano, because it is not worth injury or death simply to get a rock or a photograph.”

1. Before working for the USGS, McGimsey ________.

A. had been a pilot for 25 years

B. knew nothing about the organization

C. had taught at the University of North Colorado

D. had studied at the University of Colorado

2. On Dec.15,1989, a 747 jetliner ________.

A. had all its engines restarted

B. flew into a volcano in Europe

C. survived an air accident luckily

D. disappeared in a huge ash cloud

3. What McGimsey says in the last paragraph shows his ________.

A. pride B. carefulness

C. loneliness D. doubt

4. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Game McGimsey: a man of his word

B. Game McGimsey: a volcano watcher

C. The eruption of Mt Redoubt

D. Lost land of the volcano

A good joke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language. As a recent article in The Guardian newspaper noted, “There’s more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.”

Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an unbelievable ice-breaker for a language learner eager to form friendships with native speakers. “I always felt that humor was a ceiling that I could never break through,” Hannah Ashley, a public relations account manager in London, who once studied Spanish in Madrid, told The Guardian, “I could never speak to people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I almost came across as quite a boring person because all I could talk about was facts.”

In fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way. Chinese-American comedian Joe Wong found this out first-hand. He had achieved huge success in the US, but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that people didn’t think his. Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones.

In Australia, meanwhile many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby,” said Melody Cao, who was once a student in Australia. “When I heard jokes I didn’t get, I just laughed along.”

In the other two major English-speaking countries, the sense of humor is also different. British comedian Simon Pegg believes that while British people use irony (反话)—basically, saying something they don’t mean to make a joke—every day, people in the US don’t see the point of using it so often. “British jokes tend to be more subtle and dark, while American jokes are more obvious with their meanings, a bit like Americans themselves,” he wrote in The Guardian.

【题文１】It is implied in the noted sentence in Paragraph 1 that ________.

A. making jokes is a possible way for one to learn better a foreign language

B. humor is always conveyed to foreigners through vocabulary and grammar

C. vocabulary and grammar help you understand jokes in a foreign language

D. there tends to be something behind the words of a joke in a foreign language

【题文２】What can we guess about Hannah Ashley?

A. She thinks that Spanish people generally do not have much of a sense of humor.

B. She believes that one had better rely on facts when speaking a foreign language.

C. She found that humor was a barrier to her getting along well with Spanish people.

D. She had a better command of the Spanish language than of the English language.

【小题３】Joe Wong is used as an example to ________.

A. suggest that there are cultural differences in humor

B. show that it’s hard to put jokes into another language

C. prove that local people have different taste in humor

D. show that expressing ability affects the sense of humor

【小题４】From the article we can learn that ________.

A. jokes about sports are difficult for foreigners to understand

B. Americans are generally more humorous than British people

C. not all English native speakers can understand English jokes easily

D. British people’s dark jokes often make people uncomfortable

Theft Prevention Always securely lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack — even if you are only away for a minute. Register your bike with the University Department of Public Safety. It's fast, easy, and free. Registration permanently records your serial number, which is useful in the possible recovery of the bike stolen.

Equipment

Brakes Make sure that they are in good working order and adjusted properly.

Lights Always have a front headlight — visible at least 500 feet in front of the bike. A taillight is a good idea.
