You may have seen photos and videos of broken windows，falling trees and heavy rain on the internet．They were caused by Typhoon Mangkhut （台风山竹），the strongest typhoon to hit China this year．
On Sept 15，Mangkhut landed on the coast （海岸）of Jiangmen in Guangdong province，with wind speeds of 162 kilometers per hour．Till Sept 18，five people were killed and over 1.6 million people had to evacuate．More than 5，500 houses were broken．Schools in the areas were closed as well．
One of the causes of all the powerful storms this year may be climate change．Hurricanes（飓风）and typhoons are actually the same thing — they are both tropical cyclones（热带气旋）．Temperature（温度）changes cause them to form on the sea．

supply store．He persuaded（说服）the store to give him the parts to
make the computers．Steve couldn't pay for the parts right then．But he promised to pay the store back later．Steve was very good at persuading people to do what he asked．The store said yes．
Each Apple computer cost 220 to make．Each Apple computer was sold to the electronics store for 500．So even after Steve and Woz paid back the electronic supply store，they made a very big profit（利润）．
Steve and Woz knew they could do better．What if they made a computer that came with everything，so a person could just take it out of the box and use it right away？He and Woz got to work on making such a computer — Apple II．
