Storm chasing can be exciting,but also very dangerous.The storm chasers' knowledge and experience are not always enough to keep them safe. On 31 May 2013, Samaras and his team were chasing the EI Reno tornado in Oklahoma,USA. To their surprise, the tornado behaved in an unexpected way. It grew rapidly and changed its speed and direction.
On that terrible day, the largest tornado ever recorded appeared. It was 4.2kilometres wide and had winds topping 480 kilometres per hour. While the tornado was moving towards them, Samaras and his team were driving as fast as they could. Sadly, when the tornado hit their car, it threw their car into the air like a toy. All three men in the car died.

A bottle of water may not seem like much to you, but thousands of bottles will be of great help for people who live in drought－hit areas in China.
In 2022, there was very little rain in Southwest China. Some places, especially in Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan and Guizhou, experienced a serious drought. Crops died, the land cracked (裂开), and wells and rivers dried up. More than 20 million people were having difficulty in finding safe drinking water.
After learning about the drought, many people around the country helped by giving water, money and other things.
Every member of the Communist Youth League (共青团) and Young Pioneers (少先队) was encouraged to give one bottle of water to the drought-hit areas. Students in primary schools and middle schools quickly joined in the activity. In Yuhua Primary School in Xi’an, 900 students bought over 1, 000 bottles of water with their pocket money. They also wrote their wishes on the bottles.
The serious drought has also made students realize the importance of saving water. Students from Nanshan Middle School in Huizhou, Guangdong, went on the street to tell people to take part in water-saving activities.
“I’ve heard that some children in drought-hit areas don’t have enough drinking water. They have to drink muddy (含有泥土的) water. I feel really sad about that, ”said one student. “I decide to take a shower twice a week instead of every day to save water, ”he said.
