Scientists have searched for many years for a method to tell whethera volcano(火山)explosion will be small or large. Now，four scientists saythey have discovered something in lava(熔岩)that will help dothis. They did the research on Mount Unzen on the southern Japanese island ofKyushu.

Mount Unzen exploded in November，1990. Since then，moreexplosions have killed 43 people and destroyed the homes of more than 2，000 others.The volcano is still active today.

The scientists say the lava of the volcano contains high level of anelement(成份)，which is a sign of the presence of the lava from deep in the earth，not from thesurface. They say it shows that the lava coming directly from inside the earthis connected with huge explosions instead of smaller ones.

The scientists examined the lava from 18 explosions of Mount Unzenthat took place during many thousands of years. They also studied the lava fromother volcanoes in the area that are older than Mount Unzen. The lava studiedcame from both large and small explosions. The scientists found that largeexplosions contained more of the element than small ones. The scientists say ifthey had known this two years earlier，they could havewarned the people living in the area near Mount Unzen and saved many lives.

Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simplemisunderstandings(误解)?Little wonder. We often believe we're more skillful in getting ourpoint across than we actually are，according to Boza Keysar，a professor at theUniversity of Chicago. In his recent study，speakers tried toexpress their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listenersunderstood were wrong nearly half the time. Here‘s some good adviceto reduce misunderstanding：

(1)Don't trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod，look at youor say“uhhuh”to be polite or move the conversation along. But it‘s easy toconsider these as signs of understanding.

(2)Train the editor(编辑)in your head. If you say，“Beth discusses herproblems with her husband，”it's not clear whether she‘s talking to herhusband or about him. Try instead，“Beth talks to her husband about her problems.”or“Beth talksto others about the problems with her husband.”

(3)Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request bysaying“I want to be sure I said that right.”Questions like“How doesthat sound?”or“Does that make sense?”may also work.

(4)Listen well. When on the receiving end，askquestions to be sure you're on the same page. After all，it isn‘t just thespeaker's job to make his speech understood.

( )58.Why does the writer give us the advice?

A.We're not skillful enough to make clear sentence
