killed 43 people and destroyed the homes of more than 2，000 volcano is still active scientists say the lava of the volcano contains high level of an element（成份），which is a sign of the presence of the lava from deep in the earth，not from the say it shows that the lava ing directly from inside the earth is connected with huge explosions instead of smaller scientists examined the lava from 18 explosions of Mount Unzen that took place during many thousands of also studied the lava from other volcanoes in the area that are older than Mount lava studied came from both large and small scientists found that large explosions contained more of the element than small scientists say if they had known this two years earlier，they could have warned the people living in the area near Mount Unzen and saved many the passage we learn that Mount Unzen is the name of huge volcano explosion Japanese island active volcano kind of lava four scientists discovered that the level of the element contained in the lava could tell degree of a volcano explosion place of a possible explosion number of volcano explosions time of a possible explosion research of the four scientists was based on lava that caused explosions presence of the lava from the surface damages caused by the 1990 explosion lava from different explosions in the areaCHave you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings（誤解）？Little often believe we39。re more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are，according to Boza Keysar，a professor at the University of his recent study，speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the ‘s some good advice to reduce misunderstanding：（1）Don39。t trust what you see from the often nod，look at you or say“uhhuh”to be polite or move the conversation it‘s easy to consider these as signs of understanding.（2）Train the editor（編輯）in your you say，“Beth discusses her problems with her
