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

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 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 around it 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．

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 watch TV for important information．

● If you're told to go to a safer place，do so right away.

參考譯文

可能你知道洪水、干旱、地震和沙塵暴之類(lèi)的災(zāi)害，但你聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)臺(tái)風(fēng)嗎？

臺(tái)風(fēng)是最嚴(yán)重的風(fēng)暴中的一種，它通常出現(xiàn)在太平洋和南中國(guó)海附近。它的發(fā)生時(shí)間大多在七、八、九三個(gè)月。

臺(tái)風(fēng)是怎樣形成的呢？當(dāng)大量的海水受到夏季陽(yáng)光的炙烤后，它會(huì)蒸發(fā)到空氣中。這就使空氣變得更熱了。當(dāng)空氣熱到一定程度，它就會(huì)向高空上升。這時(shí)，周?chē)睦淇諝饩蜁?huì)沖進(jìn)來(lái)填充剩下的空間。隨著空氣越變?cè)綗?，它開(kāi)始急速流動(dòng)形成風(fēng)。這種風(fēng)以環(huán)狀運(yùn)行，并不斷向高空上升。空氣越熱，風(fēng)的運(yùn)行速度越快。當(dāng)風(fēng)速超過(guò)每秒30米時(shí)，臺(tái)風(fēng)就形成了。

臺(tái)風(fēng)由兩部分組成。一部分叫做“臺(tái)風(fēng)眼”。在臺(tái)風(fēng)眼中，風(fēng)的移動(dòng)速度不太快。另一部分是臺(tái)風(fēng)眼周?chē)脑茐?。這里的風(fēng)雨強(qiáng)度最高。

臺(tái)風(fēng)很危險(xiǎn)。2004年，臺(tái)風(fēng)“云娜”造成浙江省164人死亡，24人失蹤。2006年5月，臺(tái)風(fēng)“珍珠”襲擊廣東和福建。數(shù)千棟房屋被毀。

臺(tái)風(fēng)襲擊時(shí)該怎么辦

● 待在室內(nèi)。關(guān)閉所有的窗戶(hù)，不要待在窗戶(hù)附近。

● 盡量把所有的東西放到室內(nèi)。強(qiáng)風(fēng)甚至能把你的自行車(chē)吹跑。

● 聽(tīng)收音機(jī)或看電視，了解重要信息。

● 如果有人通知你到安全地點(diǎn)，立刻就去。
