-tracking chart. Its a map of tropical ocean areas southeast of us. It follows the development of tropical storms, even hurricanes. They develop and move around the Atlantic in Caribbean and here on Florida coast. We got hit a lot by those in July or August, at least winds or rain. M: Do you think that the tropical storm is on the way？ W: Too early to tell, but we need to be prepared. The radio mentioned possible evacuation routes. M: Really？ Its that serious？ W: You better believe it. Late summer is hurricane season. The television updates locations and speeds every hour. M: What did they say is out there now？ W: A couple of tropical depressions, two storms and two hurricanes. M: Whats the difference？ W: Wind velocity. A depression is least serious actually, and a hurricane is the most serious. M: How serious are the winds in hurricanes？ W: They have sustained winds of 74 mph and up. M: What are the names on the map？ David, Arlene, Francisco, and Gina. W: You know weather forecasters give the hurricanes the names of people to make storms easy to identify.

听力原文：W: Michael, where abouts in China are you from？

M: I was born in Beijing, but I live in Shanghai now. How about yon？

W: I' m from Scotland.

M: Oh？ What's it like？

W: Well, the weather is pretty cold there. Actually, most of Scotland is cold and often wet. I'm sure it's the coldest part of the British Isles.

M: Beijing is very cold in winter too, although it' s more of a dry cold, if you know what I mean. However, I like winter; it' s my favorite season. Summer is just too hot!

W: Well, I think you' re lucky to have a hot summer. Scotland' s summer is pretty miserable, wet and cold.

M: Do you think people's personalities are defined by the climate they live in？

W: Well, that's an interesting idea. I think there's definitely something in it, because when the weather is hot, I easily lose my temper, but when it's cooler, I feel much calmer.

M: If it' s raining I always feel depressed. I cry along with the weather!

W: Spring always makes me feel happy; the birds are singing and the whole atmosphere seems cheerful.

M: Hmm, I agree. I think spring is my favorite season too.

W: What about the winter blues？ What are they？

M: Well, that means you' re down in the dumps, because the weather' s so gloomy and cold. You feel all sad and blue! I often get them.

W: Oh, I don' t I love winter, but I suppose you could say I get the summer reds! Because I always see red in the hot weather and get into arguments and stuff.
