But have you heard of typhoons? 　 　 Typhoons are some of the worst storms,usually around the Pacific Ocean. Most of them happen in July,August and September. 　 　 How does a typhoon happen? When lots of seawater gets hot in the summer sun,it evaporates(蒸发) into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough,it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then the cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer,it starts to move quickly,making wind. The wind goes in circles(圆圈) and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets,the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second,a typhoon forms. 　 　 A typhoon has two parts. One is called the “eye”. In the eye,the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the “eye”. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains. Typhoons are very dangerous. They may kill many people and damage thousands of houses. 　 　 What to do when a typhoon hits? ·Stay inside. Close all the windows and stay away from them. ·Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes! ·Listen to the radio or watch TV for important information. ·If you􀆳re told to go to a safer place,do it at once. ( 　 　 )1.
