II. Read the following passage and do the tasks below: (t 58 sbt)
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 are lost. Most people who live near the
coast are 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-pressured 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.

People recycle for many reasons. One of the main reasons is to conserve resources. Making
new aluminum cans out old ones means less aluminum is needed for new cans. This leads to
a second reason people recycle: It saves energy. Recycling old aluminum cans takes a lot of
energy than making new aluminum. To make new aluminum, you need to mine metal ore
from the ground, remove the impurities, and refine it into a finished metal. Recycle also
conserves valuable land. By recycling, we produce less garbage. That means fewer landfills
are needed for dumping our trash.
