What is a hurricane?(飓风)

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

Categories(类别)of Hurricanes

    There are five categories of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage(危害) 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 break the buildings along the seaside completely.

Hurricane Dangers

    When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall(降雨), 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 in fact is 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(增长) 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 stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured(受伤) if you go outside.

Languages play an important part in our life. Mother language is a very intimate(密切的)thing to us. For people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language, it helps them keep their traditions. If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart. 

The associations that lie in the languages bring ideas and pictures to our minds. Associations are just the power of languages. However, how language came into being is unknown. All we know is that some early men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed on certain signs, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words

Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. 

Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died out. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozens of people. Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did? The answer has to do with globalization(全球化). Nowadays, it's more useful to speak certain languages-English is one example-rather than others. 

As US writer Rita Mae Brown wrote, "Language is the roadmap of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going." We should learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make ourselves silly and common. 

 右面的材料A~F 分别是六条建议。请根据下面五位同学不同的困扰,选择适合他们的建议。

Nick: I have not met my friends for a long time. We are too busy with our studies and exams. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}   

Gina: I treat my friends very well. For example, I pretend to love dancing with them, but actually I don't like it at all. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}   

Helen: I'm always ready to help others. But I'm afraid to ask others for help when I'm in trouble. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}   

Wendy: As a new student in this school, I'm too shy to make new friends. I feel very nervous during the class break. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}   

Kevin: I'm good at starting a conversation by asking a question. But after they answer it with "yes" or "no", I don't know how to continue. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}   

A. Offering help to others can bring a lot of pleasure. Remember you're allowing others to feel good when you ask others for help.

B. It is the worst thing to force yourself to do what you hate to make friends. It may be great at first, but it's not a right way to form a long and healthy friendship. You should show others your true self.

C. Any kind of relationships needs to be carefully maintained (维持). Although you are busy, you can talk with them online or make some phone calls.

D. A great way to start making friends is to be confident and say yes if you are invited to do something together. They may not all be people you will become close with but it is a great start.

E. There are always something new to learn, no matter how much you already know. The more you learn, the more you want to learn.

F. Just try to ask open questions. They encourage the other person to give a more in-depth (深入的) answer. After the other finishes talking, you can share the same amount of information about yourself.
