Reading Plus While-listening Reading Plus Text analysis 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/（动词）追赶；追逐 chase after 追逐；追赶chase each other 互相追逐 拓展：chaser（名词）追逐者 be afraid of... 害怕…… be about to 即将；正要（做某事） （形容词）职业的；专业的 （介词）自始至终；贯穿整个时期 (名词）生涯；职业 chase down 寻找到；追踪到 （动词）拍摄电影 Reading Plus Text analysis Storm Chasing: A Dangerous but Important Job 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. 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. （不可数名词）设备；器材 a piece of equipment 一件设备 例如 风速 气压 (名词）预测；预报 weather forecast 天气预报 to sb’s surprise 出乎某人的意料 (形容词）出乎意料的；始料不及的 (副词）快速地；迅速地 主语 第一个谓语 宾语 宾语补足语 how引导的宾语从句，作understand的宾语 因此 第二个谓语，承接前文，省略can，与help并列，是句子的第二个核心动作 how引导的宾语从句，作change的宾语 Reading Plus Text analysis Storm Chasing: A Dangerous but Important Job 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 （动词）高于，超过（某一数量） throw sth into the air 把某物抛向空中 continue to do/doing 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 Project 1 Read the text and complete the summary.

What do you think of Tim Samaras’s job as a storm chaser? 2. What do you need to be a good storm chaser? 3. Do you know of any other dangerous jobs? Why do people do them? I think his job is exciting, but also very dangerous. To be a good storm chaser I need to have a lot of knowledge about weather science, know how to use special equipment, and always be prepared for danger. Yes, like firefighters or deep-sea fishermen. These jobs are dangerous because they involve risks like fires, high waves, or bad weather. People do them because they want to protect others or because they want to support their families.
