Except for the lava (熔岩) erupting behind her, she could be walking in a park. The woman turns to watch the molten rock flow for a moment and then walks calmly toward the camera.The footage（镜头）is from Werner Herzog's book about volcanoes and volcano hunters,Into the Inferno, and the woman pictured is perhaps one of the most important volcanologists of all time,Katia Krafft. 2Born in France, in 1942, Katia developed an interest in volcanoes at an early age.Later, she met Maurice Krafft. The pair bonded over their shared love of volcanoes before marrying in 1970.The Kraffts wrote about 20 books on volcanoes across the globe. 3Katia and her husband made great progress in educating the general public in volcanology.Their footage had more than scientific value.For instance,when Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines began to show signs of an eruption in 1991, the Kraffts were able to present Philippine President Corazon Aquino with video footage of the effects of the 1985 eruption of Nevado del Ruiz in Colombia,asking her to call for an evacuation (疏散)of those in the danger zone. 4In 1969, Katia was awarded the prize of the Vocation Foundation for her work on active volcanic sites. 5The couple lost their lives, along with more than 40 others during the eruption of Mount Unzen in Japan on June 3, 1991, when they were caught in a flow of rock, gas and ash moving at speeds of over 100 miles per hour, with temperatures of more than 800 degrees Fahrenheit.Katia was 49;Maurice was 45. 6Katia's impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has encouraged many young women to study our restless planet.“Katia Krafft is definitely the reason why I'm doing this job,”says Carla Tiraboschi, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Münster, Germany. Tiraboschi first saw Katia in a documentary when she was just six or seven years old and has been crazy about volcanoes ever since. Reading Check 1.What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 1? A.The importance of volcanology. B.The damage of a volcanic eruption. C.The difficulty of filming volcanoes.

D.They covered Mount Pinatubo's eruption. 3.How did Katia influence Carla Tiraboschi? A.Katia's death made her restless. B.Katia helped her with her research.

On the other side,a pool of water reflects the grand scenes of the snow-covered peaks.“Given that the museum is located in Daocheng County in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, the choice of the white conch design is culturally significant, as the white conch symbolizes blessings and beauty in Tibetan culture,”said Yuan Hao, Party Secretary of CCEED's Yading Village project. 4Construction on the museum started on April 25,2023,and was scheduled to be completed within a mere 150 days. Consisting of three floors, the museum will stand at a total height of 17.4 meters with a total construction area of approximately 2995 square meters. 5The construction team has confronted many challenges during this limited time,according to Yuan. For example, it is operating at high altitudes, so strict health checks,daily health monitoring, and ample altitude sickness medication for workers are quite essential.Besides these, the museum is located in the national-level Yading Nature Reserve, so forest fire prevention is of great importance in safety management. Strict fire source management and on-site protective measures need to be enforced during construction.A total of 83 cultural artefacts have been designated for the museum, with 58 already gathered and 25 in the process of being collected. 6As part of broader efforts to preserve and restore Yading Village,the Shambhala Cultural Museum is a critical element.The entire project is made up of the restoration of traditional Tibetan-style buildings and village layout adjustments, infrastructure upgrades, and landscape restoration and improvement.
