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 hurrlcanes, 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, 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 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 (受伤) if you go outside.

A)阅读下面短文,根据所读内容,完成表格,每空一词。(每空1分)

  Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is “happier”, then you are right, based on a study published five years ago. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.

    The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.

    Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.

    Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.

The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.

So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
