George was head of an African country. He was going to pay a visit to the USA. He decided to learn some English words so that he might greet Bill Clinton, president of the USA then, in English. So he asked his wife for help because she knew a little English. His wife told, “When you meet Mr. President, just greet him with “How are you”, and he may answer ‘I am fine’. Then you need only to say ‘Me, too’, and leave the rest to your interpreter(口译).”
When his plane landed at the airport, George said to the smiling Clinton, “Who are you?”. This was quite unexpected to the president and surprised him greatly. But he quickly calmed() down. Still with a smile on his face, he answered, “I am Hillary’s husband.” To his reply, George answered back without a moment “Me, too”, and looked at the president’s wife, Hillary, smiling sweetly as well.

Tornadoes(龙卷风) are one of the worst weather events on earth. Each year, tornadoes kill many people. The storms often carry homes, cars and trees from one place to another. And they can also destroy anything when they pass by.
A tornado comes from a thunderstorm(雷雨) in the sky down to the ground. It is big at the top and small at the bottom.
A tornado appears when winds in different directions meet in the cloud and begin to turn in circles. People can see tornadoes almost everywhere in the world. But most happen from late winter to middle summer. There is a second high season in November. During spring, warm air moves north and mixes with the cold air left from winter. In November, the opposite happens. Cold air moves south and mixes with the warm air left from summer.
Tornadoes always come suddenly. Weather scientists have done something to predict(预测) tornadoes. But the storms often move too fast for people to protect themselves. Last year, tornadoes killed more than one hundred people in United States.
Scientists say the best place to be in is a small room, without windows, in the middle the lowest part of a building when tornadoes come.
