Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea.
Most happen in July, August and September. How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets
hot in the summer sun, it evaporates (蒸發(fā)) into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets
warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the
space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when
the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins.A typhoon has two parts, One is called
the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye.
This is where the strongest wind and hardest rains are. Typhoons are very dangerous. In 2004, Typhoon
Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were missing. In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged.What to do when a typhoon hits:
● Stay inside, close all the windows and stay away from them.
● Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds
   could even blow away your bikes!
● Listen to the radio or TV for important information.
● If you’re told to go to a safer place, do so right away.

Ever thought of moving to a new country? How about starting a new country? Patri Friedman is planning to do just that. He left Google years ago to set up the Seasteading Institute. And his dream is to build seasteads-----floating micro-nations in the middle of the ocean.

So, what will life on a seastead be like? Probably a bit like life on a cruise liner (游輪), but much larger, with shops, gyms, swimming pools, schools and other areas. In fact, the early seasteads may actually be specially-rebuilt cruise liners. But as science advances, Friedman believes they’ll become more like floating cities, with several hundred people.

Seasteading raises a lot of questions. First of all, how will the new countries make money? The Seasteading Institute has suggested several money-making ideas, including ocean-based theme parks, casinos (賭場) and fish farming. There’s also the questions of safety. With storms, typhoons and pirates (海盜) , the high seas are a dangerous place. However, the Institute says that it can stand bad weather and prevent crimes with its well-designed systems.

So, is this just a day dream? Well, maybe not. One of the people behind the project is Peter Thiel. He founded PayPal and was one of the first investors (投資者) in Facebook. So far, he’s donated $ 500,000 to the project.

And Friedman isn’t wasting any time. He recently announced the creation of the Poseidon Award. This will be given to the first seastead with fifty people. Friedman is hoping to hand out the award in 2015.

1.Where did Friedman use to work?

   A. In Facebook.          B. In Seastead Institute .   C. In PayPal.         D. In Google.

2.A future seastead may be most likely to look like ___________________.

   A. a cruise liner          B. a floating city         C. a theme park       D. a fishing farm

3.What can we infer from the passage?

   A. Friedman is planning to move to a new country.   

B. Friedman is worried about the safety of seasteads.

   C. Friedman has got some supporters for his project.  

D. Friedman has already won the Poseidon Award.

4.Which of the following can be the best titles of this passage?

   A. Seasteading: a new idea of living               

B. Seasteading: a wild way of farming

   C. Peter Thiel: a man behind the project            

D. Patri Friedman: a crazy day dreamer
