*Questions
1, How many natural disasters are
there in this reading text?
2, What are they ?


Volcanoes: We can usually predict when a volcano will erupt. Mount
Pinatubo, which is a vocalno in the Philipines, erupted in 1991. It was
the world’s largest volcanic eruption in more than 50 years. Hundreds
of people died, but thousands were saved because scientists had
warned them about eruption.
Tornadoes: Tornadoes are funnel-shaped storms which pass overland
below a thunderstorm. They can suck up anything that is in their path.
In Italy in 1981, a tornado lifted a baby, who was asleep in its baby
carriage, into the air and put down safely 100 meters away!
