阅读下面的短文，判断正（T）误（F）。

Maybe you know floods，droughts，earthquakes，sandstorms and so on．But have you ever heard of typhoons？

Typhoons are some of the worst storms，usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea．Most happen in July，August and September．

How does a typhoon happen？When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun，it evaporates into the air．This makes the air hotter．When the air gets warm enough，it starts to move higher up into the sky．Then，cooler air around it rushes in．It fills the space that is left．After the air gets warmer，it starts to move quickly，making wind．The wind goes in circles，and it keeps moving higher in the sky．The warmer the air gets，the quicker the wind moves．And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second，a typhoon begins．

A typhoon has two parts．One is called the“eye”．In the eye，the wind does not move so fast．The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye．This is where the strongest winds and hardest rains are．

Typhoons are very dangerous．In 2004，Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang，and 24 people were missing．In May 2006，Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian，and thousands of houses were damaged．

What to do when a typhoon hits

● Stay inside．Close all the windows and stay away from them．

● Try to bring all of your things inside．Strong winds could even blow away your bikes！

● Listen to the radio or watch TV for important information．

● If you're told to go to a safer place，do so right away.

参考译文

可能你知道洪水、干旱、地震和沙尘暴之类的灾害，但你听说过台风吗？

台风是最严重的风暴中的一种，它通常出现在太平洋和南中国海附近。它的发生时间大多在七、八、九三个月。

台风是怎样形成的呢？当大量的海水受到夏季阳光的炙烤后，它会蒸发到空气中。这就使空气变得更热了。当空气热到一定程度，它就会向高空上升。这时，周围的冷空气就会冲进来填充剩下的空间。随着空气越变越热，它开始急速流动形成风。这种风以环状运行，并不断向高空上升。空气越热，风的运行速度越快。当风速超过每秒30米时，台风就形成了。

台风由两部分组成。一部分叫做“台风眼”。在台风眼中，风的移动速度不太快。另一部分是台风眼周围的云墙。这里的风雨强度最高。

台风很危险。2004年，台风“云娜”造成浙江省164人死亡，24人失踪。2006年5月，台风“珍珠”袭击广东和福建。数千栋房屋被毁。

台风袭击时该怎么办

● 待在室内。关闭所有的窗户，不要待在窗户附近。

● 尽量把所有的东西放到室内。强风甚至能把你的自行车吹跑。

● 听收音机或看电视，了解重要信息。

● 如果有人通知你到安全地点，立刻就去。
