Safe not Sorry!

Last year, the weather forecaster told us that hurricane was coming. A hurricane is always scary, but a little
exciting, too. When a hurricane comes, we know what to do. We have a family plan. First, I had to help my dad put
heavy wood over the windows. It was hard work.
When the hurricane came, we could hear the strong winds outside. We could hear the rain coming down hard.
Then suddenly we heard a really loud noise. And then something hit our house really hard! Everyone was worried.
What could it be? After the storm, we walked outside. Part of a tree hit the wood on the window. I am so happy we
covered the windows! Next time, I won’t say the wood is too heavy.

Tornado Trouble

Tornadoes happen all over the world. There’s even a place called Tornado Alley. Josh Wurman studies extreme
weather. He joined a team of other scientists to study tornadoes in Tornado Alley. One day, the blue sky turned black. A
giant cloud came toward the team. The cloud had winds that moved in a circle. Inside his truck, Wurman watched the
storm through his window and on his instruments. Colors on the computer screen showed where the rain fell and where
the wind was the strongest.
The winds twisted the storm tighter and tighter into the shape of a funnel. When the funnel touched the ground,
it became a tornado! The tornado looked like a giant, gray elephant’s trunk. It moved one way, then another way. As the
tornado moved across the ground, the team came dangerously close. They dropped special instruments close to the
storm. These instruments showed wind speed, temperature, and how much rain was falling.
The tornado twisted and moved for half an hour. The team watched the storm and their instruments the whole
time. Then the tornado leaned over slowly like a soft rope. Poof! It was gone. The excitement was over. But Wurman and
his team have a lot more work to do. The information from their instruments will help them predict other tornadoes so
that they can warn people and save lives.

Text for question number 19 to 22.

Weather Change

We’ve always had extreme weather. Do you know that there is more extreme weather now than in the past?
According to many scientists, this change started when people started to burn coal, oil, and gas.
The average temperature on Earth is rising. Some droughts are longer and hotter. More of the ice on
mountains melts faster. If this water goes to the sea, the sea level rises.
Different places have different changes in the weather. Some places have less rain. Other places have more rain
and floods. In most places, there are more storms. Storms are stronger, too. The warmer sea temperatures make
hurricanes stronger.
Weather change is a fact. But we can do something. For example, we can make factories and cars more
efficient. That way, we can burn less coal, oil, and gas. We can also build stronger houses in safer areas. We can use less
energy.
