①Hail(冰雹),also called hailstorm,is a form of precipitation(降水形式)-like rain or
线
snow-that is made up of ice.Hailstorms may happen all year long.Hail can even form in
summer as long as the storms are strong.
2Hailstorms often visit the United States.The area where Nebraska,Colorado and
Wyoming meet is known as "Hail Alley"and they suffer seven to nine hail days every year.
It's hard to tell exactly when a hailstorm might come.
内
③Hailstorms are very dangerous.They can cause lots of damage(破坏)to people,
buildings,cars,plants and animals.In fact,hailstorms can even cause deaths.For
example,a hailstorm killed around 1,000 English soldiers in 1360.So we should know how
to stay safe during it.
4 One way to protect yourself from a hailstorm is to have your tools prepared
throughout the year,and one of them must be helmets.They can help you save your head
from both the hail itself and other things brought by the heavy storm.You should also make
a plan for your family so that you all know where to go for safety.
得
5What's more,make sure you stay inside until the hail stops and stay away from
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
windows.If possible,find a room at least one level down from the top of the house.
Finally,if you get caught outside in a hailstorm and can't find a house to stay in,find
something to protect your head.Remember:stay out of lowland areas,because they could
be filled with water.And don't forget to avoid trees.
答
()13.What does the underlined word "helmets"in Paragraph 4 mean?

B.Big knives.
C.Hard hats.
D.Light umbrellas.

弥
hailstorm is outside?

There are lots of natural disasters every year.Typhoons are among them.Typhoons are

wind.The wind goes in circles and it keeps moving higher in the sky.And when the wind
moves faster than 30 m/s,a typhoon begins.A typhoon has two parts.One is called the
‘eye”.l8.
The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye.Here are the
strongest winds and hardest rains.
