    When newspapers and radios report the damage caused by a hurricane (飓风)called Hazel, girls named Hazel are probably played a joke on by others. To keep out of trouble, the Weather Bureau says," Any resemblance(相似)between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is only 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 girls' 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 way through the world, and people remember it long after it has gone. So it is natural to give hurricanes names, and to talk about them almost as if they were alive.
