Other people may close their windows to block out sounds of the storm. Liu, however, jumps excitedly for each and every storm. More than that, he will then drive into the heart of them. Liu Yijing started chasing (追逐) storms in 2020. And it has become a part of his life. The 21-year-old has travelled about 30,000 kilometres across China. He takes photos of storms and shares them online. The young man has become more and more popular. He has been asked to give speeches at universities. CCTV has even begun to use his works. Not long ago, one of his photos was chosen as the cover (封面) for Advances in Atmospheric Science (大气科学进展). As a storm photographer (摄影师), Liu is wonderful. But there are other things that make him even more special. One day, Liu met a farmer. The farmer told him that a storm had damaged (破坏) the local crops (庄稼). Liu felt sad. He realized that the things he loved could also bring damage. Liu decided to do something. He started to make short videos about extreme (极端的) weather. “I hope my work can help people better understand nature,” said the storm chaser. 14. When did Liu Yijing start chasing storms? 15. What did the farmer tell Liu Yijing? 16. Why did Liu Yijing make short videos about extreme weather? 17. Do you think Liu Yijing’s hobby great? Why or why not? 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
