According to      National Weather Service,            cyclones are          

 areas of circulating winds that rotate counter clockwise in            Northern

Hemisphere and clockwise in            Southern Hemisphere. They are generally

accompanied by some kind of            precipitation and by            stormy
x
weather.            tornadoes and            hurricanes are            types of

cyclones, as are            typhoons, which are            storms that occur in          

 western Pacific Ocean.            hurricane is            cyclone that forms

over            tropical oceans and seas and has            winds of at least seventy-

four miles            hour.            hurricane rotates in            shape of          

 oval or            circle.            hurricanes can cause            

great environmental damage.            Hurricane Andrew, which hit            coasts

of Louisiana and southern Florida in August 1992, caused            extreme devastation. In

terms of            environmental damage,            Hurricane Andrew is one of          

 most devastating hurricanes ever to hit            United States. Fourteen people

died because of            Andrew's effects.

Text B.

Once upon            time, there was            green and beautiful planet. It was          

 third planted out from            yellowish sun in            stellar system

in            relatively remote part of            galaxy. Members of            

Galactic Council knew that            planet was between 4 and 5 billion years old, but no one
was sure exactly how long life had existed there.

           Galactic Council had been watching Green, as they called it, for millennia. It was          

 responsibility of            Council to observe and monitor all planets that

harbored life in            effort to predict which ones might destroy themselves. Thus          

 Council could intervene if it had to. Each planet had its own watcher, and Planet Green's
was Ambassador Gorkon. His job was to visit Green and investigate thoroughly. On this occasion

Gorkon was making his report to Mr. Xau,            president of            Galactic
Council.
