Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.
The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion’s guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.
As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied,
“Things aren’t always what they seem.”
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife.
After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest.
When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen? The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. The second family had little but ___________________, and you let the cow die.
“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied.
“When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it. ”
“Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem. ”
Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don’t turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. You just might not know it until sometime later.

Hurricanes
在每年的6月到11月的飓风期间要发生6～8次“飓风”，2003年9月“伊莎贝尔”飓风在美国东海岸的北卡罗来纳州大举登陆。当地媒体报道说，时速高达160千米的大风和250毫米的降雨造成北卡罗来纳州和弗吉尼亚州南部41万多居民断电。飓风再一次让人类感受到它的威力。
Early every summer, weather scientists in North America prepare for a new season of powerful ocean storms. These storms are called hurricanes. The word “hurricane” comes from the language of people who lived on islands in the Caribbean Sea (加勒比海) before the Europeans arrived. They experienced strong ocean storms usually caused by weather movements off the coast of North Africa. These weather events gather force as they move west toward the Caribbean and North America．
A storm is called a hurricane when its wind speed becomes greater than 120 kilometers an hour. Some huge storms cause great loss of life and thousands of millions of dollars in damage. Understanding the movements of storms and hurricanes is the job of the National Hurricane Center in Miami (迈阿密), Florida. Today, many electronic tools make the job of weather scientists, or meteorologists (气象工作者) easier. Satellites observe weather from space. New radar (雷达) instruments gain information about weather movements. Also, airplanes can drop special instruments into storms that record large amounts of information about air movements. One computer program permits meteorologists to see all the information about weather that the National Hurricane Center collects.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(美国海洋及大气管理局) has estimated (评估) the number of hurricanes for each year since 1998. NOAA expects six to eight hurricanes and nine to thirteen powerful Atlantic Ocean storms every year. Hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean lasts from the beginning of June to the end of November.
Also, a weather event called El Nino (厄尔尼诺) will affect storms forming in the Atlantic Ocean. El Nino is caused by unusual warm currents of water in the eastern Pacific Ocean. It affects weather around the world.
Judge the following true (T) or false (F).
1. Hurricanes are a certain kind of powerful ocean storm.
2. The hurricane is not terrible and doesn't bring about deaths or do a lot of damage to the cities.
3. With the help of science and technology, it is not difficult for the scientists to know more about hurricanes today.
4. In the opinions of the NOAA experts, more than 20 hurricanes happen every year.
5. Hurricanes and El Nino make the weather warm around the world.
