【全效学习】八年级下学期英语核心素养评估 Module 10 核心素养评估卷
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.
