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 kno w 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 ra in 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 ev er find yourself
in the path of a hurricane, be sure to stay inside during the storm. Yo u could be seriously injured(受伤) if you go outside.

Yesterday was my fifteenth birthday. However, when I woke up, there were no gifts or birthday cards waiting for me. My parents and brother didn’t say “Happy Birthday” to me. Perhaps they had all forgotten. I tried to phone my best friend, but none of them were at home.
After lunch, I decided to go for a walk by the river. I was feeling sad that no one had remembered my birthday. When I came back at around three p. m. I found nobody was at home.

They will stay at home in front of their computers. Children can wear their favourite “Saturday” clothes every day. It will be fun. What do you think? Do you think it will be fun? What do you think school clothes and school life will be like in 2050?
