What is a hurricane？

You may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating waves，wind，and rain．They happen during“Hurricane Season”，which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.

Categories of Hurricanes

There are five categories of hurricanes，which are based on wind speeds．The categories help people know how much damage a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed，the more dangerous the storm．For example，a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour，which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely.

Hurricane Dangers

When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall，there can be a devastating flood．The centre of a hurricane is called the eye．While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds，the eye is actually a calm area in the storm．When the eye of a hurricane passes over land，people might think that it's over，but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.

Hurricane Safety Tips

There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction，so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane，be sure to remember the following safety tips.

·Be sure you have a radio，batteries，fresh drinking water，and enough food.

·Tell neighbours，friends，and family members your emergency plans．Tell them where you'll go if you need to leave your home.

· If you live near the ocean，leave your home and travel to a safe place．You could stay with a friend or a family member，in a hotel/motel，or in an emergency shelter area.

·Stay inside during the storm．You could be seriously injured if you go outside.

參考譯文

什么是颶風？

你或許已經(jīng)知道颶風是導(dǎo)致災(zāi)難性波浪、大風及雨水的風暴。颶風通常發(fā)生在“颶風季”，也就是大西洋海域的6月1日至11月30日和太平洋海域的5月15日至11月30日。

颶風的等級

按照風速劃分，颶風分5個等級。這些等級有助于人們了解颶風可能帶來的危害，因為風速越大，風暴越危險。比如，一場5級的颶風風速超過155英里/小時，這樣的風速足以完全搗毀海邊的建筑。

颶風的危害

當颶風裹挾著暴雨降臨時，有可能引發(fā)災(zāi)難性洪水。颶風的中心被稱為風眼。盡管大多數(shù)颶風都是危險的狂風，但風眼卻是風暴中平靜的地方。當風眼經(jīng)過陸地時，人們也許會認為颶風結(jié)束了，但不久，當颶風的另一部分移動過來時，風勢、雨勢都會再次增強。

颶風安全提示

沒有任何辦法可以使颶風停止或改變方向，所以，如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己正處于颶風行進的路線上，一定要記住以下安全提示：

·確保有一臺收音機、數(shù)節(jié)電池、可以飲用的淡水及充足的食物。

·通知鄰居、朋友及家人你的應(yīng)急計劃。如果必須離家，告知他們你的去向。

·如果你住在海邊，那就離開家到一個安全的地方。你可以和朋友或家人一起住進旅館（汽車旅館）或緊急庇護所。

·風暴肆虐期間要待在屋內(nèi)。如果去外面，你可能會受重傷。
