32、ave seen a kettle boiling,you know that the steam and boiling water try to get out.The very hot melted rock inside the earth also tries to get out.Usually it cannot because the outside of the earth is too thick and strong.But in some places the outside of the earth is thin and weak.Sometimes a crack
33、（a small opening）appears.The hot melted rock,which we call“lava”,pushes up through the crack and bursts through.Steam and gas shoot up into the air and the hot melted lava pours out.Big pieces of rock may be thrown high into the air.After a while the volcano becomes quiet again.The melted lava becom

39、ast,flexible,and do not make mistakes.As one banker said,“Unlike humans,computers never have a bad day.”And they are honest.Many banks advertise that their transactions are“untouched by human hands”and therefore safe from human temptation（诱惑）.Obviously,computers have no reason to steal money.But the
