Nice Name But She's So Deadly
1 More than a millionpeople in the United States were told to leave their homes over the weekend asHurricane (飓风) Dennis headed tothe Gulf coast, after killing at least 15 people in the Caribbean Sea. 2 If you read the newsoften enough=, you may notice that all hurricanes are given names. Why is that?Remember, there can be more than one hurricane operating at one time. Withoutnaming them, we could get confused about which storm we're talking about.
3 For hundreds ofyears, hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the particular religiousday on which they occurred. One Australian meteorologist (气象学家) began givingwomen's names to tropical storms at the end of the 19th century. In 1953, theUS National Weather Service, which is responsible for tracking hurricanes andissuing warnings, began using female names for storms. By i979, both women andmen's names were being used. One name for each letter of the alphabet (字母表) is selected, exceptfor Q, U and Z.
4 So who decides whichnames are used' each year? The World Meteorological Organization uses six listsin rotation, so each list is reused every six years.
