A tornado （龙卷风） is a kind of strong storm with air which moves in a circle quickly． They can move over 200 miles per hour and cause a lot of damage （损坏）． As they move across the land， they can easily pick up cars， trucks， and even houses， and then throw them very far． It is important to find a safe place if a tornado gets close．
A safe place could be a basement （地下室） or the lowest floor． If you are in a home without a basement， try to find a first﹣floor bathroom or a small room without windows in the middle of your house． You should curl up （蜷缩） into a ball and cover your head and neck with your hands．
But there are some people who actually want to get close to tornadoes． They are scientists who want to learn more about tornadoes． One of the best ways to do this is to get as close as possible to the tornado． They use special tools to measure （测量） what is happening in and around a tornado．
One special tool is called a tornado probe （探测仪）． Inside the tornado probe， there are sensors （传感器） to measure wind speed， temperature，pressure，and direction．Some probes even have cameras， so the scientists can see and understand what it's like to be in a tornado．
To be able to get these measurements，the scientists have to get a tornado probe near or into a tornado．Scientists will try to guess where a tornado will go next． Then they drive to that location and put down the probe． If they do not guess correctly， they pick up their probe and try another place．If they are right，the tornado will go near or even right over the probe． Then they take all of the measurements from the probe and use them to predict where future tornadoes may form （形成）and travel． And they can give people some warning to keep away from a dangerous tornado．

Nowadays，kuakuaqun or praise groups have become more and more popular on the Internet，Their aim is to comfort young people.These groups provide words of support for those who are unhappy.
Spending just a little money，you can enter such a group.Share your problems or success，and you will receive positive messages soon.These messages，mostly from strangers，will help you feel better.A leader of one of the groups talks about his first purpose，"I want to help people learn to praise others and accept others，praise."
I like the idea of kuakuaqun.However，I think getting praise from strangers online isn't very useful in the long run.This is especially true when you are paying for the praise.These people don't know you，so the praise may not be earnest.Real and meaningful praise comes from the people you know.
With this in mind，we should try to praise our friends and family members when they need some encouragement.Simply saying to a classmate， 'I like you'，can lift his or her confidence.Being kind to others is easy.And it adds the necessary sweetness to make everyone's life better.

Let me tell you about a young boy who made a model car all on his own．The boy is me，six years ago when I was just 11．The car was small and simple，but in my imagination it was a high﹣speed racing car，speeding along the race road．
It was during the school summer holidays and workmen were building a new driveway and garage（车库） beside our house．It meant to add something new to our home．When I watched the workman，I came up with an idea﹣﹣﹣I would build a car to drive into the garage in celebration of it．I told my mother and began with my plans．But I couldn't find the right things for making the car，so I gave up and sadly spent several days doing nothing．My mother noticed that I had stopped working and asked me why．I explained and she suggested that maybe I should change my plan to fit the things I had，rather than give up．
And that's just what I did．I found small pieces of wood in my father's workshop and made my car from anything that was lying around the house．When I found a small engine（发动机） from one of my old model planes，I added that．The power came from a battery（电池） I found in a box．
By the time the garage was finished，so was my car．I called my family together outside the house，started the engine and put the car on the driveway．It was fast，and I had to run to the garage to prevent it from hitting the new door．My family began to cheer and I smiled proudly．Thanks to my mother I learned the value of continuing to do things，especially something difficult．Soon I was making plans for my next project：a robot!

Last Saturday，I went to a coffee shop to meet a friend of mine.I got there ten minutes earlier.
So I ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window，watching people.There were some boys playing football on the street and a small boy was running after the ball as it rolled across the road.
Suddenly，there came a car.It was going very fast.When the driver saw the boy in his way，he braked（刹车）hard.But it was too late …The small boy was lying on the street without moving.To everyone's surprise，the car didn't stop.It drove away quickly.
People ran to the boy.There was a cut on the boy's head and he lost a lot of blood.The coffee shop owner telephoned the police.Soon an ambulance（救护车）arrived and took the boy to the hospital.At 6：30 pm，the police arrived and started questioning people.About half an hour later，they asked me to go to the police station because I saw everything.I gave them all the information I knew because I really wanted them to catch the driver.I didn't leave the police station until 8：00 p.m.After that I went home because I didn't want to talk to anyone.
The next day，the boy's parents called me to say thanks.They also told me their boy was fine and the driver was at the police station now.
