Reading I
Forces other than damaging winds are also at work inside tornadoes. Sometimes, as the writhing, twisting funnel
passes over a house, the walls and ceiling burst apart as if a bomb had gone off inside. This explosion is caused by the low air
pressure at the center of a tornado.
The pressure at the center of a tornado is usually 13 pounds per square inch. However, inside the house the air
pressure is normal, about 15 pounds per square inch. The difference of 2 pounds per square inch between the inside and
outside pressure may not seem like much. But suppose a tornado funnel passes over a small building that measures 20 by 10
by 10 feet. On each square inch of the building, there is 2 pounds of pressure from the inside that is not balanced by air
pressure outside the building. On the ceiling, that adds up to an unbalanced pressure of 57, 600 pounds. The pressure on the
four walls adds up to 172,800 pounds.

If windows are open in the building, some of the inside air will rush out through them. This will balance the pressure
inside and outside the building. But if the windows are shut tightly, the enormous inside pressure may cause the building to
burst.
Unfortunately, heavy rain and hail often occur in thunderstorms that later produce tornadoes. So, people frequently
shut all windows to protect their property. This may cause far worse damage later. For the same reason, tornado cellars must
have an air vent. Otherwise, the cellar door might be blown out when a tornado passes over it.

A. How tornadoes can be prevented
B. When tornadoes usually occur

45. According to the passage, tornadoes can destroy
buildings because the .
A. force of a tornado increases the air pressure in a
building
B. air pressure at the center of a tornado is over
172,000 pounds
C. weight of a tornado can crush a building's roof
when it passes overhead
D. air pressure inside a tornado is less than the air
pressure inside a building

square inch between the air pressure inside a building
and the air pressure inside a tornado?

Reading II
By the late nineteenth century, the focus for the engineers and builders of tunnels was beginning to shift from Europe
to the United States and especially New York, where the rivers encircling Manhattan captured the imagination of tunnelers and
challenged their ingenuity. The first to accept the challenge was a somewhat mysterious Californian named DeWitt Clinton
Haskin, who turned up in New York in the 1870's with a proposal to tunnel through the silt under the Hudson River between
Manhattan and Jersey City.
Haskin eventually abandoned the risky project. But a company organized by William McAdoo resumed the attack in I
902, working from both directions. McAdoos men were forced to blast when they ran into an unexpected ledge of rock, but with
this obstacle surmounted. The two headings met in 1904 and McAdoo donned oilskins to become the Hudsons first
underwater bank - to - bank pedestrian. World's Work magazine proudly reported in 1906 that New York could now be
described as a body of land surrounded by tunnels Three one - way shafts beneath the Hudson and two under the Harlem
River were already holed through; three more Hudson tubes were being built. Eight separate tunnels were under construction
beneath the East River.

Reading III
American Indians played a central role in the war known as the American Revolution. To them, however, the dispute
between the colonists and England was peripheral. For American Indians the conflict was a war for American Indian
independence, and whichever side they chose they lost it. Mary Brant was a powerful influence among the Iroquois. She was a
Mohawk, the leader of the society of all Iroquois matrons, and the widow of Sir William Johnson, Superintendent of Indian
Affairs. Her brother, Joseph Brant, is the best-known American Indian warrior of the Revolution, yet she may have exerted
even more influenced in the Confederacy than he did. She used her influence to keep the western tribes of Iroquois loyal to the
English king, George III. When the colonists won the war, she and her tribe had to abandon their lands and retreat to Canada.
On the other side, Nancy Ward held position of authority in the Cherokee ration. She had fought as a warrior in the war against
the Creeks and as a reward for her heroism was made "Beloved Woman" of the tribe. This office made her chief of the
women's council and a member of the council of chiefs. She was friendly with the White settlers and supported the Patriots
during the Revolution. Yet the Cherokees too lost their land.

passage?

American Indians regain their land.

of Indian Affairs had little power.

Revolution, American Indians lost their land.
