Stanley Karras works as a meteorologist (气象学家) in Tampa, Florida. His job is to follow hurricanes (飓风) by plane and provide information about them for scientists.
What do you like most about your job?
I love the travel most. Running after hurricanes has taken me all over the world. It's exciting to end up in different cities and different countries day after day. If you're a meteorologist, you have to love flying. I also love working with top scientists. I have learnt so much from them and we have had a lot of exciting time together.
Do you make any sacrifices (牺牲) to do this job?
Yes, I'm so far away from my family. They all live in the UK. My wife is with me, of course, but her family is also in the UK. So we're pretty cut off from them all over here.
What would you like to do next?
I'd like to join a space programme and be the first meteorologist in space, but I have not come up with an experiment(实验) to do in space yet. There aren't any hurricanes!
What tips would you give to someone wanting to do your job?
Study maths, science and meteorology well. There are many areas in meteorology to study. I have taken the hurricane hunter path, but you could be a weather reporter or study in other areas.

Being green means protecting the environment in our daily life. The best way to do this is buying green products. But how do we know if a product is really green?{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
First, we should look at the materials of the products. Green products are made of natural materials. This is good for our health.
Second, where a product is made and where we buy it are also important. We should try to buy local products, especially food.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Buying from shops near our homes is also a good idea, because we can go there without driving a car.

Dung beetles (屎壳郎) are very strong. They can pull things which are 1,000 times heavier than them. They are good at making big dung balls. They love anything to do with dung. They even eat dung. That's so funny. | |
It's common to see fireflies (萤火虫) on summer nights. Fireflies live near water or in a wet environment. At night, fireflies fly up from grass. They blink (闪烁) their lights and look very friendly. But most fireflies eat snails (蜗牛) for food. Usually many fireflies share a snail. | |
Cockroaches (蟑螂) live in dark, warm and wet places. They can run up to about 1.5 meters in one second. So it's difficult for people to catch a cockroach. And cockroaches can stay underwater for 15 minutes. However, cockroaches are harmful for people. | |
There are 629 muscles (肌肉) in the human body. However, a caterpillar (毛毛虫) has about 40,000 muscles. Caterpillars eat a lot of food to be strong, and they eat quickly. When they become strong enough, they turn into butterflies. |
