family, michael was often physically abused (虐待) by his father, beaten up and also orally abused. but michael also owed his success to his fathers strict discipline.michael was always an entertainer. even when he just started school, he would perform in front of his friends and classmates. he started his professional music career at the age of 11, as a member of the jackson five.he is well-known for increasing the popularity of mtv through his music videos. before this, music videos were made just to promote the album. but michaels videos managed to change that by making them an art and a big

video channels.michael enthralled his fans and audience with his style of singing, dressing, and his complex dance moves, especially the moonwalks all around the world to show their love for him.through his work and various foundations(基金会), michael raised and donated millions to charity, which is much more than any showman. he supported 39 charities in all. apart from that, he had a

across the atlantic ocean, leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports.grimsvotn is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in europe. what makes grimsvotn different is that it lies under a huge glacier（冰川）of ice up to 12 metres thick. the hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer(层)of water between glacier and the volcano, keeping it stable. as the water flows out from under the glacier, the pressure lifts. the lava(岩浆) from the volcano then comes up to the surface. this is exactly what is happening today.now airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash. according to klm, one of europes biggest airlines, airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it. going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplanes engines, causing damage to the plane.the eruption has also caused problems for animals in iceland. the volcano left ash and sharp, glass-like rocks all over the countryside. farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them eating ash-covered grass or the sharp objects.53. what makes grimsvotn different from other volcanoes?a. it is under the sea.b. it is below ice.c.
