Question

11．What is a hurricane （飓风）？
    You may already know that hurricanes are storms，they can cause devastating （毁灭性的） waves，wind，and rain．They happen during"Hurricane Season，"which is from June 1^st until November 30^th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15^th 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，they are strong enough to destory the buildings along the shorelines completely．

    When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall，there can be a devastating flood （洪水）．The centre of a hurricane is called the eye．While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds，the eye is actually a calm （平静的） 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．
