Harmful Effects of Cyclones Cyclones can cause a lot of damage, both to people and infrastructure. Cyclones are among the most dangerous and most destructive natural disasters that can occur. They have been responsible for about 1.9 million deaths worldwide over the last two centuries, and it is estimated that 10,000 people are killed each year by these storms. Cyclones tend to do the most damage in coastal areas, where they have been known to alter the landscape and remove forest canopy. The most prevalent and perhaps best understood effect of cyclones is strong wind. In fact, these strong winds tend to affect the other destructive agents of cyclones. Low-level winds will typically be stronger on the right side of a cyclone in the Northern Hemisphere, but the wind strength tends to be highly variable no matter where a cyclone hits. The strong winds of cyclones can cause damage over an area of 25 km in smaller systems and up to 500 km in larger systems. Winds have been known to destroy smaller buildings and knock out power for thousands of people. Tornadoes do not normally occur in the same tropical regions that cyclones usually affect, rather tornadoes generally come from the storms in coastal regions and on islands. They may be far more common than people once believed. Cyclone-spawned tornadoes are often not reported in regions such as the Caribbean, but some damage patterns suggest that they occur frequently. Tornadoes can attain wind speeds of up to 480 kph and can stretch more than 3 km. Cyclone tornadoes tend to occur in the outer edge of the eyewall cloud, in the right-front quadrant of the storm system. The thunderstorms produced in a cyclone system produce intense rainfall- causing massive flooding, mudslides and landslides. This flooding tends to be more severe and destructive inland due to poor preparedness. Although this rainfall can be very destructive and cost millions of dollars in damage, rain in smaller cyclone systems can actually be beneficial when it provides much 1.

harmful consequences to the drug addict and those around them. Drug addiction is a brain disease because the abuse of drugs leads to changes in the structure and function of the brain. Although it is true that for most people the initial decision to take drugs is voluntary, over time the changes in the brain caused by repeated drug abuse can impair a person's self-control and ability to make sound decisions, and at the same time create an intense impulse to take drugs. Long-term drug abuse causes changes in other brain chemical systems and circuits, as well. Brain imaging studies of drug- addicted individuals show changes in areas of the brain that are critical to judgment, decision-making, learning and memory, and behavior control. Together, these changes can drive an abuser to seek out and take drugs compulsively -- in other words, to become addicted to drugs. While these brain changes can powerfully influence behavior and the impulse to use drugs, people in the midst of an addiction do not completely lose their ability to exercise judgment and make decisions; their desire to stop using drugs and pursue treatment hinges on the wish to live sober. As with many chronic, relapsing disorders, recovery then becomes an active lifelong process. Drug addiction can be a preventable disease. Research has shown that prevention programs that involve the family, schools, communities, and the media are effective in reducing drug abuse. Although many events and cultural factors affect drug abuse trends, when youths perceive drug abuse as harmful, they reduce their arug taking. It is necessary, therefore, to help youth and the general public to understand the risks of drug abuse and for teachers, parents, and health care professionals to keep sending the message that drug addiction can be prevented if a person never abuses drugs. 41. How can we compare the 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs? A. Both paragraphs tell about the brain damage caused by drug addiction. B. While the 2nd paragraph tells about changes in other brain chemical systems, the 3rd one tells about the prevention. C. Both paragraphs tell how to get rid of drug addiction D. The 2nd paragraph tells about the damage in other brain chemical systems, the3rd one tells about rehabilitation of the users. E. Both paragraphs tell about the ways how to prevent drug addiction. 42. "...when youths perceive drug abuse as harmful, they reduce their drug taking." (Paragraph 3) What is the closest meaning of the underlined word? A. Perform B. Recognize C. Show D. Resists E. Discuss

In marine habitats, a number of small creatures are involved in a "cleaning symbiosis." At least six species of small shrimp, frequently brightly colored, crawl over fish, picking off parasites and cleaning injured areas. This is not an accidental occurrence, because fish are observed to congregate around these shrimp and stay motionless while being inspected. Several species of small fish (wrasses) are also cleaners, nearly all of them having appropriate adaptations such as long snouts, tweezers-like teeth, and bright coloration. Conspicuous coloration probably communicates that these animals are not prey. several species of fish are unlikely to be eaten by big fish because ________ a. they clean the parasites found in marine habitats b. they stay motionless while being inspected c. they are very brightly coloured cleaner fish d. they have appropriate adaptation as cleaners e. they usually gather around other creatures
