Two of the most dangerous storms which affect America are hurricanes and tornadoes. They are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction.

Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost. Most people who live near the coast are forced to evacuate their homes and move to safer areas until the storm passes. Floods are caused along the coasts by both heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal water level. The high winds, coastal flooding, and heavy rains associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage.

Hurricanes usually develop between July and October. Once they hit land they carry tremendous power with driving rain and wind.

Tornadoes are violent low - pressured storms. These storms occur most often during the summer months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain. The sky turns black as dust is sucked up into the air. Tornadoes are capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground. They can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such as homes and railway cars.

Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and property every year. Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or ignored.

1. What are two of the most dangerous storms which affect America?

A. Hurricanes and tornadoes.

B. Typhoons and thunderstorms.

C. Thunderstorms and hurricanes.

D. Hurricanes and typhoons.

2. At which part of the year do hurricanes usually develop?

A. July and August only.

B. All the year-round.

C. From the seventh to the ninth month.

D. Between July and October.

3. What is the major similarity between both a hurricane and a tornado?

A. They cover only a small area.

B. They can cause great damage.

C. They are not accompanied by rain.

D. They have either wind or speed.

4. Which of the following is true of tornadoes and hurricanes?

A. They cannot be predicted with accuracy.

B. They are easier to control today than in the part.

C. They can be predicted today with greater accuracy.

D. They cannot be predicted today with greater accuracy.

5. Which of the following was not mentioned in the article?

A. The number of people killed each year by these storms.

Read the passage below and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE?

We are all around computers. Computers play an important play in our day to day lives, like we are very much dependent them for doing many things including giving users the ability to quickly and easily store and process data. Since the invention of computer they have evolved in terms of increased computing power and decreased size. Computers are used in many sectors like Education, Health and Medicine, Financial Institutions, Transport System, E-Commerce, Defence etc.

Computers connect us to the world of unknown. They help us gathering knowledge and huge information from the internet and storing it. Computers are multitasking and accurate enough to be used almost anywhere and everywhere including banks. Computer provide security from destructive forces and from unwanted action from unauthorized users like cyber attack or access attack.

Now computer is not just a calculating device, it has become much more than that. One of the main advantages of computer is its incredible speed, which helps human to complete their task in few seconds. All the operations can be performed very fast just because of its speed else wise it takes a long time to perform the task.

Question: Computers are not used in Defence.

A. True

B. False
