The categories help people know how much damage(危害) a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm.

When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that it’s over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.Hurricane Safety TipsThere is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips.Be sure you have a radio, batteries, fresh dinking water, and enough food.Tell neighbours, friends, and family members your emergency plans.

U 2 most are museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found in our daily life, such as fridges and washing machines.The a 3 of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits(展品). Being different from the art museum visitors, design museum visitors s 4 feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why massproducts(批量產品) work and look as they do, and how design has i 5 the quality of our lives.

All the teachers and students took an active part in this event. Everyone looked quite happy.As we know, books are bridges to knowledge.
