What would be the first thing you would set foot
25、on?The beach, naturally. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. These islands cover 1,600 miles and are about 2,300 miles west of California. Most of them are covered with fine white sand. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Another wonderful
26、 thing about the beaches of Hawaii is the water temperature. The year-round average (平均)temperature of the water at the famous Waikiki Beach is 230C!The same is true of air temperature. In fact, there are no real seasons in Hawaii. There is a difference of only two or three degrees between the hotte
27、st day of summer and the coldest day of winter. Thats why the Hawaiians dont have a word for weather in their language.Perhaps the nicest thing about Hawaiian beaches are the waves. The earliest settlers (定居者) in Hawaii, the Polynesians, quickly learned how much fun it was to ride the waves. They de
28、veloped a sport which is now very popular on the islands called body surfing.

Even when it isnt erupting, smoke comes out of the earth from a thousand little holes.In 1950 Mauna Loa erupted
31、for twenty-three days. That erupting produced the greatest amount of lava (熔岩) in modern history. In 1960 it erupted again. That time it added a kilometer of beach to the island. Because Mauna Loa has erupted so often, it has become the biggest (but not the tallest) mountain in the world.These volca
32、noes could be dangerous to the population of Hawaii. In fact, Hilo, the second largest city in Hawaii, is built just under Mauna Loa. The volcano could erupt at any time. Most people believe that it will erupt sometime in the next twenty-five years. But the people of Hilo do not seem worried. They l
