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.

II. Read and answer the questions below. (1 point)

There are two types of air pollution. That is the outdoor air pollution caused by factories, automobiles and biological matter. We most commonly associate air pollution with smog and acid rain. That is of course a problem and you might be surprised how aware children are of the air pollution concerns. However, there is also indoor air pollution. Indoor air pollution causes just as many health problems around the globe as outdoor air pollution. And because many people are not aware of it, they suffer unnecessarily. According to the World Health Organization, 2.4 million people die each year from air pollution and 1.5 million of these deaths are caused by indoor air pollution. Educating young kids about air pollution can be an efficient solution to this alarming worldwide issue because it can make them somewhat aware of air pollution. They may have heard about the greenhouse effect, global warming and acid rain. These problems may be frightening for children to hear. However, children also have the power to make changes both inside their home and globally.

6. What causes the outdoor air pollution?

________________________________________________________________________________

7. Is indoor air pollution a reason for nearly as many health problems in the world as outdoor one?

________________________________________________________________________________

8. Why do people suffer from the air pollution unnecessarily?

________________________________________________________________________________

9. How many people die every year from air pollution?

________________________________________________________________________________

10. What may make kids frightened if they hear about them?
