People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries.And in the 1 300 years，there were 2 many changes in 3 places that now people can 4 tell an English person 5 an American in the way he or she talks.

　　Many old words 6 in England but were kept in America.For example，300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they called either a “faucet”，a “spigot”，or a “tap”.All these words are 7 heard in different parts of America，but only “tap” is still common in 8 .Americans often made up new words or changed old 9 .“Corn” is one kind of plant in America and 10 in England.

　　Also，over the last three centuries the English language 11 thousands of new words for things that weren't known 12 .And often，American and English people used two 13 names for them.A tin can is called “tin” for short in England，but a “can” in America.The word “radio” is 14 all over the world，including America.But many English people call it a “wireless”.And almost anything having something to do 15 cars，railroads，etc. 16 different names in British and American English.

　　But now American and British English may be growing close together.One 17 is the large amount of American speeches that British people hear daily in movies，on television，or 18 travelers. 19 this，Americans seem to be influencing the British more or less.So some day，English may even be 20 on both sides of the Atlantic.

      　　Many people like the feeling of the gentle wind in spring．Many like to see the falling leaves dancing in the wind in autumn．But sometimes, when the wind becomes a storm, it can be very destructive(毀滅性的)．
      

      　　A series of such storms struck the US last month and caused very serious damage and human pain．
      

      　　Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world．There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature．But new techniques are helping scientists to predict(預(yù)測)how, when, and where big storms will happen．The more exact scientists' warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms．
      

      　　Predictions are improving．“We've gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,”says Phil Klotzback, a scientist at an American university．How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction．“For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right,”Klotzback says．
      

      　　First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air．As it rises, the vapor(水蒸氣)cools and turns back into liquid．This process gives off heat．This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase．It drives the formation(形成)of a hurricane．
      

      　　If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a“tropical storm”(熱帶風(fēng)暴), and it gets a name．At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane．
      

      　　Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast of Africa．Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world．
      

      　　On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year．About 10 of them get names．There are usually about six hurricanes．Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or higher．
      

      　　The hurricane season lasts from June to November．Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September, and October．

      　　More than one million children in the United States do not go to school．Instead, they learn at home．They are taught by adults, like tutors(家庭教師)．　　1　　 Educational companies, libraries, and the Internet provide many families with teaching material．
      

      　　　　2　　 Some choose it because of their religious beliefs．Others say it provides more time for the family to be together．They say home offers a better place for learning．Some parents believe home-schooling avoids problems of traditional schools．These include classes that have too many students．Critics, however, say children need to attend school with other children．
      

      　　They also say that some home-schooled children do not get a good education．　　3　　 Some states(州)do not require much preparation made by parents or testing of children．Other states have more requirements for home-schooling．Home-schooling in the United States began when the country was established．In farm areas, people often lived far from a school．Widespread home-schooling took place until about the middle of the 19th century．Then, in 1852, the state of Massachusetts passed the first law requiring children to attend school．
      

      　　Over the years, the American public education system strengthened and grew．By the 1960s and 1970s, however, some Americans believed that traditional education was not helping their children．　　4　　
      

      　　Home-schooling expert Linda Dobson says many people have helped the movement grow．She says some parents began teaching their children at home after changes in tax laws forced some private religious schools to close．That happened in the 1980s．And, most recently, she says many kinds of people have joined the movement．　　5　　 They represent many races, religions and political beliefs．Ms．Dobson says the number of home-schooled children has increased by an estimated fifteen to twenty percent each year during the last fifteen years．
      

      A．So a number of parents began home-schooling．
