II. Read the following passage:

Two of the most dangerous storms which affect America are hurricanes and tornadoes. They are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction.

Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives arc lost. Most people who live near the coast arc forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storm passes. Floods are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal water level. The high winds, coastal flooding and heavy rains associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage.

Hurricanes usually develop between July and October. Once they hit land they carry tremendous power with driving rain and wind.

Tornadoes are violent low-pressure storms. These storms occur most often during the summer months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain. The sky turns black as dust is sucked up into the air. Tornadoes are capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground. They can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such as homes and railway cars. Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and property every year. Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or ignored.

Audio:

All living things need water, but water pollution has become a serious problem. Polluted water is unsafe for drinking and for other uses.

Water pollution happens when wastes and toxic substances make the water unsafe. There are two sources of water pollution: man-made and natural. Man-made substances pollute water when they flow into the water from factories and homes. Natural pollution occurs when rainwater with toxic chemicals flows into rivers or lakes. These rivers and lakes are a source of drinking water for humans.

Water pollution has a harmful effect on our lives. But there are ways we can reduce water pollution. The first thing we can do is to treat water from factories and households. We should also stop littering, especially dumping waste into rivers and lakes. Finally, we can reduce water pollution by using green products and avoiding single-use products, like plastic bags.
