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.
Categories(类别)of Hurricanes
There are five categories of hurricanes according to 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 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(事实上) 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 dinking 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(受伤) if you go outside.

The students were having their chemistry class. Miss Li was telling the children what water was like. After that, she asked her students,“What’s water?”No one spoke for a few minutes. Miss Li asked again,“Why don’t you answer my question? Didn’t I tell you water is like?”Just then a boy put up his hand and said,“Miss Li, you told us that water has no color and no smell. But where to find such kind of water?

Internet is always educational. Many people think children should be allowed to surf the Internet as they wish. In this way, they can look through different subjects on different kinds of websites according to their own interest. But in my opinion, children should always be watched while surfing the internet.
Many websites have information and pictures that children should not see. There are many things that children don’t understand. All of these may have some bad influence on children’s development. Also, it is dangerous to let children use chat rooms by themselves. Many parents tell their children not to talk to strangers on the street, so they should be careful of whom their children talk to on the Internet, too. What’s more, sitting in the front of a computer for a long time isn’t good for children’s eyes, so parents should monitor(监视) the time that childen spend on the Internet.
In a word, children should be kept away anything that could be bad for them. I believe that it is necessary for parents to watch their children when they use Internet.Is the Internet educational all the time?______________________________
