45、mous 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 hottest day of summer and the coldest day of winter. Thats why the Hawaiians dont have a word for weather in their language.Per

46、haps 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.

That erupting produced the greatest amount of lava (熔岩) in modern history. In 1960 it erupted again

In fact, Hilo, the second largest city in Hawaii, is built just under

51、 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.
