Hurricane
1 A hurricane（飓风）is a tropical storm with winds that have reached a constant speed of 74 miles per hour. Hurricane winds blow in a large spiral（螺旋）around a relative calm center know as the“eye”.The“eye” is generally 20 to 30 miles wide,and the storm may ex- tend outward 400 miles. As a hurricane nears land,it can bring heavy rains,high winds,and storms（风暴潮）.The storm surges and heavy rains can lead to flooding.
2 Hurricanes are given a different label,depending on where they occur. If they begin over the North Atlantic Ocean,the Caribbean Sea,the Gulf of Mexico,or the Northeast Pa-cific Ocean,they are called hurricanes.Similar storms that occur in the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line are called typhoon. Near Australia and in the India Ocean, they are referred to as tropical cyclones（龙卷风）.
3 When a hurricane hits land,it can do great damage through its fierce winds,heavy rains , inland（内陆的）flooding, and huge waves crashing onto the shore. During a hurri-cane,homes,businesses,and public buildings may be damaged or destroyed;road and bridges can be washed away. A powerful hurricane can kill more people and destroy more property than any other natural disaster. Fishermen are at special risk from hurricanes as they may be at sea when a hurricane arrives and not be able to get to a safe harbour if they do not receive adequate warning.
4 If a hurricane is coming in your area,the most important thing is to stay calm and find shelter immediately. Go to your safe room. If you do not have one,stay indoors during the hurricane and go to a safer place near the center of your home. Cover yourself with a blanket and be sure to keep away from windows and glass doors,because if the glass breaks it's real-ly dangerous. Do not be fooled if there is a lull（暂停）；it could be the eye of the storm-winds will pick up again.
During a hurricane one should stay away from________.
A: inland flooding
B: natural disaster
C: early warning
D: windows and glass doors
E: a constant speed
F: different labels
