But did you hear of typhoons(台风)?Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean（太平洋） 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 （蒸发）into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into 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（圆圈）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. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains.Typhoons are very dangerous. In November this year, Typhoon Haiyan killed 5500 people in Philippines. More people are missing（消失）.What to do when a typhoon hits（袭击）?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 TV for important information.If youre told to go to a safer place, do it right now.（1）This passage is most probably from .

She was told that her neighborhood used to be farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at the new road, beautiful park and supermarkets, Yang couldnt see any sign that food was once grown there.Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more. But these changes have caused problems too, warns Gan Zang chun, an official at the Ministry of Land and Resources (国土资源部).Chinese cities are growing fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller. This is really bad for the countrys ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers, said Gan last Monday.The country needs farmland to grow food for the people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale.Pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in Chinas farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares(公顷) of farmland. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. It will be really difficult to reach the goal, Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal land use and stop farmland from becoming desert.（1）The article seems to tell us that _.
