Maybe you know floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you ever heard of typhoons(台风)?

Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.

How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it　 evaporates(蒸发) into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins.

A typhoon has two parts, One is called the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast.

The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. This is where the strongest winds and hardest rains are.

Typhoons are very dangerous. In 2004, Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were missing. In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged(毁坏).

What to do when a typhoon hits:

• Stay inside, Close all the windows and stay away from them.

• Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!

• Listen to the radio or TV for important information.

• If you’re told to go to a safer place, do so right away.

A.in the hot season B.in the cold season C.only in China D.under the sea

2.When a typhoon comes, we cannot　　 .

A.close all the windows B.listen to typhoon news

3.This passage is mainly about　　 .

El Nino(厄尔尼诺）causes floods,droughts（干旱）and other bad weather conditions around the world.It doesn't happen every year, but this year is an El Nino year.And that is bad news.

As fish don't like warm water, they swim to other places. Birds that live on them also move away. El Nino is the name of a climate event that happens in the Pacific Ocean. In summer, tropical（热带的）rain falls on Indonesia. But for some years, the Pacific Ocean moves its rainfall east. This warms the ocean as it travels, before finally reaching the shores(海岸）of North and South America.

Cold water is pushed out of the way by the warm water. The warmer temperatures cause floods in southern US and South America. And because the warm rain clouds move east,droughts happen in South Asia, Australia and even Africa.

El Nino usually lasts 6 to 18 months. They don't happen every year though, usually between two to seven years.

Every El Nino is different. The strongest El Nino happened in 1982. In the West Pacific, it caused droughts,dust storms and bush fires in Australia,Africa and Indonesia. In the East Pacific, Peru was hit with 11 feet(about 3 m) of rainfall in areas where 6 inches(about 15 cm) was normal. It is the heaviest rainfall ever recorded. That year's El Nino caused $10 billion in damages around the world. And it caused 1,300-2,000 deaths.

On May 23， Shenzhen introduced new rules in order to prevent the “Chinese style of crossing the road”. “Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights， so long as they are part of a group of people，” said a post on Sina Weibo.

A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour， more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang， Hebei.

Many people say that they jaywalk(乱穿马路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research（研究）group at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore(忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear，” said Ni Ying， a member of the research team.

However， a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first，” someone wrote on his Weibo.

Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore， the maximum can be three months in prison（监狱）. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions， too. For example， the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.

But calling on people to obey rules is more important. To completely solve the problem， everyone should understand the importance of obeying the traffic rules.

1.The phrase “the team” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.

A. A CCTV news program.　

B. A research group at Tongji University.

C. A post on Sina Weibo.

D. A daily newspaper.

2.How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience？

A. About five minutes.

B. Less than one minute.

C. Less than one and a half minutes.

D. More than ten minutes.

3.Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on Sina Weibo?

A. Because people don’t pay much attention to rules.

B. Because there are too many people on the road.

C. Because the red light lasts too long.

D. Because people have less patience.

4.To solve the problem of jaywalking， the writer suggests that we should __________.

A. punish the jaywalkers

B. reduce the time of red lights

C. ignore the traffic rules

D. call on people to obey the traffic rules
