Getting close to active or erupting volcanoes can be dangerous. But for Michael Rampino, it’s all in a day’s work. Rampino is a volcanologist, a scientist who studies volcanoes and how they affect our planet. Rampino has been close to red-hot lava flows (熔岩流) in Hawaii and explosive volcanoes in Indonesia. He knows when to get close to an active volcano and when to back away.
Rampino wasn’t 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 interested 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 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 Earth’s climate in the future.
Rampino doesn’t work alone. He works with a team of scientists who use computers to stimulate (模拟) the effects volcanoes have on Earth’s atmosphere.
Being a volcanologist may be hard work, but it’s also fun. “It’s cool traveling the world studying “to understand the events that have shaped Earth’s history.”
【小题1】To Rampino, being close to active volcanoes is _____.

The Atlantic Ocean is one of the oceans that separate the Old World from the New. For centuries it kept the Americans from being discovered by the people of Europe.

It is more than 4,000 miles (6,400 km) wide where Columbus crossed it. Even at its narrowest it is about 2,000 miles (3,200 km) wide.   1.   .

Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has very few islands.   2.  .

One of the longest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic.   3.  . The tops of a few of the mountains reach up above the sea and make islands. The Azores are the tops of peaks in the mid-Atlantic mountain range.

Ocean currents are sometimes called “rivers in the sea”. One of these “rivers” in the Atlantic is called the Gulf Stream. It is a current（流） of warm water. Another is the Labrador Current --- cold water coming down from the Arctic.  4.  .

Today the Atlantic is a great highway. It is not, however, always a smooth and safe one. Storms sweep across it and pile up great waves. Icebergs float down from the far north across the paths of ships.

   5. . Columbus sailed for more than two months to cross it. A fast modern steamship can make the trip in less than four days. Airplanes fly from New York to London in only eight hours and from South America to Africa in four!

A We now have such fast ways of traveling that this big ocean seems to have grown smaller

B This narrowest place is between the bulge（鼓起） of South America and the bulge of Africa

C Also, it is the world’s saltiest ocean

D This big Atlantic Ocean is not easy and sometimes dangerous to cross

E This mountain range runs north and south down the middle of the ocean

F Ocean currents affect the climates of the land near which they flow

G The Atlantic furnishes much food for the people on its shores
