  • A huge super volcano named Campi Flegrei is located just west of Naples. Although its last eruption1 was in 1538 AD many scientists warn that this area is becoming extremely dangerous and a massive eruption is imminent2. This could be a devastating3 event considering the dense4 population of the area.

    Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. It starts out with a similar custard base as ice cream, but has a higher proportion of milk and a lower proportion of cream and eggs (or no eggs at all). It is churned at a much slower rate, incorporating less air and leaving the gelato denser6 than ice cream.

    Gelato是意大利语中的冰淇淋。它的原料是和冰淇淋类似的蛋奶沙司,但是牛奶的比例更高,奶油和鸡蛋的比例更低(或者根本没有鸡蛋)。它的搅拌速度要慢得多,吸收的空气更少,让gelato比冰淇淋能浓稠。
