What is a hurricane?
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,” which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.
Types of Hurricanes
There are five types 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.

At the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, people cheered when China's Tong Xin finished her taijijian moves. On Sept 24, she won the women's raijiquan and taijijian all-round gold. The Asian Games have more events than the Olympic Games. These events, like raijijian, are from different countries and cultures across Asia. This makes the Asian Games interesting. Here are some of the special sports.
Special Asian Sports |
Wushu Chinese wushu first came about in the Shang and Zhou dynasties (16th century-256 BC). It is an important part of Chinese culture. Modern wushu has two parts: taolu and sanda. Tong's slow but strong actions with her sword(剑) showed perfectly Chinese wushu's beautiful mix of soft and hard moves. Wushu was first included in the Asian Games in 1990. |
Kabaddi(卡巴迪) Kabaddiis a folk sport from India. It has a history of more than 4,000 years. The sport looks like the game "eagle catching chickens". You only need a place to play it, nothing else. The place should be 13 meters long and 10 meters wide. |
Sepak takraw(藤球) Sepak takraw first became popular in Southeast Asia. It is like the traditional Chinese game of shuttlecock kicking(踢毽子). Players need to use their feet, head, knees and chest(胸) to move the ball. It is also called "kick volleyball". |
Doing "Clean" Exercise
When you go for a run outside, chances are that you'll find rubbish all around you. Do you just go past it, or do you stop to pick it up? If you choose the second, you are part of the latest popular sport in the West: plogging.
The word"plogging" comes from the Swedish phrase"plocka upp (pick up)" and the English word"jogging (running slowly)". What a plogger needs is a rubbish bag and a pair of gloves to protect his or her hands. While collecting rubbish, ploggers learn to classify (分类) and deal with it correctly too.
Plogging seems simple but it does a lot of good to both the environment and your health. It can not only make the world greener, but also get you full body exercise. For example, a30- minute plogging burns around 288 calories(卡路里), compared to 235 calories burnt from just jogging.
So next time you go out jogging, why not carry a rubbish bag and collect some rubbish along the way? Your body and the environment will thank you.
