Jason and his father were going to the grocery store by car to pick up some apples. It had been an unusual day. The sky was dark but there were few clouds. As they drove up the street,there started to be a rumbling(隆隆的) sound heard across the ground.
Jason's father immediately realized that a tornado(龙卷风)was coming. He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately. Jason and his father got out of the car and made their way to the closest building. By this time the wind was blowing harder, and it was hard to see or hear. Debris was falling all over the place. Jason couldn't see his dad anymore. He also realized that he wasn't getting to the building fast enough. He
afraid he would be picked up by the wind and thrown into the air.
As he made his way towards the building, he noticed a field to his right. He could see an irrigation ditch(灌溉渠).In a panic, he scrambled (爬) to the ditch and lay flat on the ground. More debris and objects flew overhead. His heart was beating hard, and he was nervous. He had never been in a tornado before.
After a while, the winds died down and the loud roaring sound was gone. Jason slowly lifted his head and nervously looked around. What he saw was a great mess. Jason could hardly recognize the buildings in front of him because of all the damage.
He stood up and with shaky legs walked to the building. Once there,he pushed the door open and went inside. It was a public building owned by the city. It was empty, but Jason could hear noises further inside. He walked into the large room and saw his dad. He ran across the room and gave him a big hug.

A sandstorm is a kind of strong wind that blows over the desert. It raises sand and dust into the air and makes it difficult to see the sun and it reduces visibility(能见度) of most to zero. It is also known as a dust storm. Some storms are usually the result of convection currents(对流气流)caused by the strong heating of the ground. Then wind is usually strong enough to move a small hill of sand. It can make travel very difficult and can even destroy roads in flat dry areas such as those in the United States.
The Simoom is the strong hot wind that comes across the Sahara and Arabian Desert. This wind is the reason for much of the dust in the air over Europe. Evidence of the dust from Simoom wind has also been found at the bottom of the sea at a long distance from the shore. Alasksi is the strongest sandstorm. It can destroy all the things in his way. It is very dangerous. It has killed more than one hundred people in the area. The Haboob is a sandstorm that often happens in the area of Sudan around Khartoum.
Sandstorms, the height as 50000ft(1525m), also happened, although not often in the United States. It is stronger than the Simoom. One that appeared near Tucson, Arizona, on July 16, 1971,was widely proved by meteorologists(天文学家)。
( )5. Which of the following are the effects of sandstorm
a.It raises sand and dust in to the air.
b. It makes it difficult to see the sun.
c. It reduces visibility of most to zero.
d. It destroys roads in all flat areas.

B.the strongest Alaskis has killed over one hundred people in all.
C.the Haboob causes much of the dust in the air over Europe
D.Simoom wind was found at the sea surface that is far from the shore.

四、任务型阅读
Sudden shaking of the ground makes an earthquake. It is caused by a sudden rock movement underground. Earthquakes usually happen in long narrow belts, where different large plates of rock meet. In spite of much research and wonderful equipment, it is impossible to predict an earthquake accurately(准确地)，although experts can estimate roughly(大概推测) an earthquake coming in a particular region. So everyone needs to learn a bit about how to keep oneself safe in an earthquake. As you may know, the greatest danger of an earthquake comes from falling buildings and structures and flying glass, stones and
other objects.
Please read on for some tips about how to stay safe in an earthquake:
*If you are indoors, find a secure location to wait out the quake,such as under a heavy table or desk. Door ways are among the safest places to stand because you can brace(支撑)yourself between two walls. However, watch out for swinging doors. Stay away from windows.
* If you are outdoors, try to get into an open area, away from falling buildings, power lines, trees, etc.
* If you are in a crowded pubic area, crouch down (蹲下)， with your hands protecting your head and neck.
*If you are in your car, pull over to the side, away from power lines and over passes, and inside the car until the shaking stops.
