But do you know people who chase tornadoes? What do you think they do? Storm Chasing: A Dangerous but Important Job Read the text paragraph by paragraph. Storm Chasing: A Dangerous but Important Job Are you afraid of big storms? Many people are. But did you know some people go out to chase tornadoes? Such storms can hit suddenly and move very quickly, so storm chasers always have to be prepared. When a tornado is about to hit, professional storm chasers try and get close to it to collect important information. Storm chaser Tim Samaras designed and built many different instruments for studying tornadoes. Throughout his career, the engineer chased down more than 120 tornadoes. Often, he filmed the storms while they were happening just a few kilometres away. chase /tʃeɪs/ v. 追赶；追逐 → chaser n.追逐者 chase after 追逐；追赶 chase each other 互相追逐 be afraid of... 害怕…… be about to 即将；正要(做某事) adj. 职业的；专业的 prep.自始至终；贯穿整个时期 chase down 寻找到；追踪到 v. 拍摄电影 n. 生涯；职业 Read the text paragraph by paragraph. During a storm, storm chasers put special equipment in the way of the tornado. The equipment collects information about things such as wind speed and air pressure. This helps scientists to make better forecasts. It can even help people understand how powerful the winds can be, and as a result, change how we build our houses. (不可数名词)设备；器材 a piece of equipment 一件设备 风速 气压 (名词)预测；预报 weather forecast 天气预报 Read the text paragraph by paragraph.

Storm chasing can be exciting, but also very dangerous. The storm chasers’ knowledge and experience are not always enough to keep them safe. On 31 May 2013, Samaras and his team were chasing the El Reno tornado in Oklahoma, USA. To their surprise, the tornado behaved in an unexpected way. It grew rapidly and changed its speed and direction. to sb’s surprise 出乎某人的意料 adj. 出乎意料的； 始料不及的 adv. 快速地； 迅速地 Read the text paragraph by paragraph. On that terrible day, the largest tornado ever recorded appeared. It was 4.2 kilometres wide and had winds topping 480 kilometres per hour. While the tornado was moving towards them, Samaras and his team were driving as fast as they could. Sadly, when the tornado hit their car, it threw their car into the air like a toy. All three men in the car died. The story of Tim Samaras is very sad, but his work continues to play an important role in weather science. Though storm chasing remains a dangerous job, the goal of storm chasers is to learn more about storms to keep people safe. For people like Samaras, that goal makes it all worth it. 过去分词作后置定语，修饰tornado, 说明龙卷风的状态属性 top v. 高于，超过（某一数量） throw sth into the air 把某物抛向空中 continue to do sth. 继续做某事 play an important role in 在……中发挥重要作用/扮演重要角色 Read again and choose. 1.

Big trees stop the summer sun from shining directly to the buildings. Big trees block（遮挡）the winter wind. In this way, they help people to save the energy to make their homes and offices cool or warm. Saving energy means saving money! ( ) 47. The underlined word "they" refers to “_______”.
