“One thing I enjoy about my job is that I can i 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 sciences,volcanology 1requires a lot of education. McGimsey received an undergraduate degree in geology at the University of North Carolina,then landed an zw 纪(实习 期) with a geologist at the (美国地质勘探 局) whose area of expertise was 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 (灰) 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 plane5 s electronics went dead.a The plane was within several thousand feet of flying into the mountains below when the pilots gpt 教 couple of the 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.
“There is certainly a higher danger level in volcanology than some other jobs”’ McGimsey admits. aWe 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's not worth injury or death simply to get a rock or photograph."

Imagine being at a movie theater. You are watching a movie you* ve been waiting months to see. All of a sudden,a man's cell phone rings. Not only does the man answer it,he keeps talking on the phone for a long time. Situations like this lead many people to support cell blocking vlocking equipment(屏蔽设备) .While this is quite understandable,it's much fairer and safer to ailow people to use their cell phones in movie theaters.
Using cell phones in movie theaters is a matter of culture. If you look around a theater,most people there are not using phones and are enjoying the film they paid to see. The few bad apples are those that are rude in almost all situations. The ones that shout at waiters and cut in line. Putting in the blocking equipment would punish everyone,not just the impolite,but the well-mannered people as well.
Many theaters already have punishments in place for people who use their cell phones in a troublesome way while in movies. At theaters I have been to,they periodically have workers come in and see if there are rude phone users. If they notice anyone breaking theater rules,they have the power to remove people from the area. That's enough to prevent most movie goers from using cell phones in an unacceptable way.
Another argument against putting in cell phone blocking equipment is emergency situations. There are times when people might be getting a message that requires them to leave the theater. Some of these might be car accidents,births,deaths,or someone getting locked out etc. All of these are situations that would just require someone to immediately leave the theater.
Putting in cell phone blocking equipment would be unfair to those who know how to use their phones politely. The answer to this problem is to make sure rules are followed,not to prevent everyone in the theater from using their cell phones.
6. The man mentioned in Paragraph 1 can be
described as.
A. patient B. impolite

7. According to the text,the bad-mannered phone
users .
A. are rude not just in movie theaters
B. show no interest in the movies at all
C. welcome the blocking equipment
D. are much worse than a few bad apples
8. In the author,s opinion,the theater rules .
A. are already out of date
B. are proving to be unacceptable
C. can keep the theater in order
D. seldom work for most people
9. What is the author,s attitude to cell phone blocking equipment in movie theaters?
A. He pays little attention to it.
B. He feels doubtful about it.
C. He is uncertain of it.
D. He is against it.
