For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective “fashionable” in the same way:
    “She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable colour.”
    But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs…and in languages.
    Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.
    Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspaper, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.

Maybe you know floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have 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 with 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 TV for important information.

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

56. Typhoons often happen       .

   A. in the hot season                                  B. in the cold season

C. only in China                                        D. under the sea

57. Which picture can tell meaning of the underlined sentences“…，it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in.”?

58. When a typhoon comes, we cannot       .

   A. close all the windows                           B. listen to typhoon news

C. stay outside with our bikes                   D. stay inside the strong house

59. This passage is mainly about       .

A. the knowledge of typhoon                    B. the eye of a typhoon

C. the names of typhoon                           D. the most dangerous typhoon Yunna

60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The warmer the air gets, the slower the wind moves.

B. This year Typhoon Peal killed 164 people in Zhejiang.

C. The strongest winds and harder rains are in the eye of typhoon.
