On Saturday morning, I planned to go to the pool but Mom asked me to watch my five-year-old sister Lyssa and three-year-old brother Dougie because she had an important job interview.
“Couldn’t Julie watch them instead?” I asked unhappy.
“She can help. but she’s only ten. I’ll feel better with a fifteen-year-old in charge (负责).” Mom kissed me and went away.
About ten o’clock, the kids were playing outside while I was reading my sports magazine, with my headphones on.
Deeply lost in a cool story, I hardly noticed Julie already came in. I took my headphones off. “Look at the sky,” she said nervously. I went out and saw a huge tornado snaked down from the sky to the ground. I couldn’t believe it—a real, live tornado! I was so afraid that my heart was almost in my mouth.
I tried hard to remember the facts I learned about tornado safety in school:
Get low. Find a basement (地下室), or if you’re caught outside, find the lowest place you can.
Looking around, I found a ditch (沟) about a hundred meters away.
“Julie.” I shouted, taking Lyssa quickly. “Get Dougie and follow me to the ditch!”
We were making our way hard because of the wind and rain. Suddenly we all fell to a muddy (泥泞的) bottom two feet below I made everyone lie, with arms protecting their heads. The tornado blew away almost everything. I thought we were going to die...But the next moment, it was over. I lifted my head and saw the tornado rushing away. Soon the sky cleared.

Everybody knows that there are usually four seasons in a year. 33 ?
As our planet moves around the sun, the light from the sun falls on the earth from different directions. This helps create the seasons. At different times of year, there is more sunlight in some places and less sunlight in others. More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather.
34 . It gets colder in autumn and winter because the days are shorter, and we get less light from the sun.
The seasons fall at different times of year around the world. For example, China is to the north of the equator (赤道). Here, we experience summer from June to August. 35 . In Australia, it is summer from December to February, and Australians have their spring when we have our autumn.
36 . The hottest and the coldest parts of the world usually have only two seasons. It is always hot in places close to the equator. These places are called the tropics (热带地区). Instead of our four seasons, many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season. 37 . Around the North and South Poles, there are only two seasons, too: a very, very cold winter and a somewhat less cold summer.
