Part I
D. warmer/ green house effect
/ sea levels/
climate zones
As
1998 ends and people look forward to the last year
of the century,
the
World
Almanac
spoke
with
experts
about
what
comes
next.
Almanac editorial
director says the experts believe the next century
will bring lots of changes.
Warm,
of
course,
that
our
climate
is
going
to
continue
getting
warmer. That’s the subject, by the way,
of another new article on the
1999
World Almanac. The greenhouse effect, exactly what
causes it,
and what steps to be taken
to, perhaps to alleviate global warmings.
I’ve seen recently that 1998 is
goin
g to go down as the warmest year
ever on record. And so that’s going to
be a major issue of the next
century,
and
possible
tremendous
consequences
of
the
global
warmings, whether it is rising sea
levels affecting the coastal areas;
changes in climate zones affecting what
crops can be grown, and in
what
regions.
This
is
potentially
a
very
significant
trend
to
be
watched.
E.
Cyclone: North or south of equator
/
Typhoon:/
Hurricane:
Eastern Pacific
Major ocean
storms in the northern part of the world usually
develop
in
late
summer
or
autumn
over
waters
near
the
equator.
They
are
known
by
several
different
names.
Scientists
call
these
storms
cyclones when they happen just north or
south of the equator in the
Indian
Ocean. In the western Pacific Ocean or the China
Sea, these
storms are called typhoons.
In the eastern Pacific and Atlantic Ocean,
they are called hurricanes.

Questions:
1.

“Silicon Valley”, a region of the
states high-technology.
2.
Because
Lick

By

By

That’s an
exchange.

The
storm
with
winds
of
up
to
75
miles
an
hour
struck
India’s
southeast
coast,
flattening
homes,
destroying
crops
and
cutting
transport links. Eyewitnesses reported
tidal waves more than 12 feet
high. The
storm was followed by torrential rains, which
swept away
roads and railway lines, and
flooded low lying areas. More than 40
people are thought to have died when a
ferry sank. But most of the
deaths
have
been
due
to
flooding,
houses
collapsing
or
electrocutions. More than
100,000 people have been evacuated from
their homes and are taking shelter in
relief camps. After surveying
the
flooded area by helicopter, the chief minister
said it resembled a
burial ground. He’s
appealed to the federal government to
tr
eat the
incident as a
national calamity. David Willis.

The
news
read
by
Wendy
Gordon. The worst of
the heavy rains and thunderstorms that
have
been sweeping parts of Europe
during the past week appears to be
over. Exceptionally heavy rainfall
brought flooding to many parts of
Germany, Switzerland, Northern Italy
and France and chaos to rail
and road
transport.
Although most
flights are expected to be back
to
normal
by
this
time
tomorrow,
there
are
expected
to
be
serious
delays on the German
and Italian motorways over
the
forthcoming
holiday weekend and train
services are unlikely to be normalized for
several days. A government spokeswoman
in France announced that
the
damage
to
homes
and
property
is
expected
to
be
at
least
four
thousand million francs. It is reported
that at least five people have
lost
their lives. Experts agree that casualty figures
are low because
emergency warnings were
issued on the day before the storms began.
The federal government in Switzerland
has urged motorists and rail
travelers
not to travel during the next few days and no
international
traffic
will
be
allowed
on
the
main
north-
south
motorway
routes
across the country until next Tuesday.
Part III. Earthquakes
A.
Another
earthquake, the fifth in three days, hit Japan
last night.
Hundreds of homes have now
been destroyed or badly damaged, and
thousands
have
been
made
homeless
since
the
earthquakes
started.
Many
of
the
homeless
have
begun
to
make
themselves
makeshift
shelters from the rubble. Electricity,
gas and water supplies have also
been
seriously disrupted. Experts believe that the
country will be hit
by more quakes
during the next 48 hours.
