If we know a storm is coming, we can save lives and property. A few years ago large storms left many people without homes. In some places, a lot of rain fell at one time and caused floods. Weathermen predicted these storms, and people left their homes in time. Years ago, storms killed larger numbers of people than now. The weather is important to many people. Pilots have to know whether they can fly their planes around bad weather. Farmers have to know if there is going to be a storm, dry or cold weather. Fishermen have to know if they can take their boats out on the ocean. Good weather for some people is bad weather for others. A lot of snow makes skiers happy. But a lot of snow and ice cause problems for bus drivers, and travelers. Everybody likes sunny days, but farmers like summer rain for their crops. Today weather forecasters use planes and satellites to check the weather. The satellite takes pictures of the earth and its clouds. Weather forecasters study the pictures and predict the weather. 查看更多

语篇理解

  When a tornado (龙卷风) destroys a house, it doesn't blow it down the way a hurricane (十二级台风) does. It makes the house explode. Why does the house explode?

  The air that surrounds a house presses against it all the time. It usually has a force of about fifteen pounds per square inch. The air inside the house presses out against the walls just as hard. When a tornado passes over a house, it suddenly sucks away the air outside the house. The air inside the house still pushes out against the walls, but now there is nothing pushing back. So the walls are pushed out in an explosion.

  Pieces of the house are sucked up into the tornado and carried away. There is little left where the house once stood.
