When newspapers and radio describe the damage caused by a hurricane named Hazel,girls named Hazel are probably teased by their friends.To keep out of trouble,the Weather Bureau says,“Any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is purely accidental.”

Some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names,but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines.They don’t even care that they are the names of destructive storms.Because more women seem to like it than dislike it,the Weather Bureau has decided to continue using girl’s names for hurricanes.

In some ways a hurricane is like a person.After it is born,it grows and develops,then becomes old and dies.Each hurricane has a character of its own.Each follows its own path through the world,and people remember it long after it gone.So it is natural to give hurricanes’ names,and to talk about them almost if they were alive.

What happens to girls named Hazel according to the passage?

A.They suffer from hurricanes.

B.The Weather Bureau look for them.

C.Others often make fun of them.

D.They can’t find boyfriend.

The underlined word“resemblance”probably means ______.

A.trouble                      B.difference                  C.sameness                   D.success

According to the passage,which is more reasonable?

A.Some women feel unhappy because hurricanes are given their names.

B.A lot of women complain of the Weather Bureau.

C.Many women want to be known.

D.All the hurricanes are caused by women.
