【推荐1】Hurricane Katrina, tropical cyclone (气旋) that struck the southeastern United States in late August 2005. The hurricane and its aftermath caused more than 1,800 deaths, and it is ranked as the costliest natural disaster in U. S history.
The storm that would later become Hurricane Katrina surfaced on August 23, 2005, approximately30 miles (560km) east of Miami and made landfall (踏上陆地) between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as a category I hurricane. It quickly heightened when it reached the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. On the morning of August29, the storm made landfall (踏上陆地) again as a category 4 hurricane at Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, about 45 mile (70 km) southeast of New Orleans.
In New Orleans, where much of the area is below sea level, federal officials initially believed that the city had “dodged the bullet” While New Orleans had been spared a direct hit by the strong winds of the storm, the true threat was soon apparent. The levee (防洪堤) system that held back the held back the waters of Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne had been completely overwhelmed by 10 inches (25cm) of rain and Katrina's storm. Areas east of the Industrial Canal were the first to flood; by the afternoon of August 29, some 20 percent of the city was underwater.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin had ordered a mandatory evacuation (强制的疏散) of the city the previous day, and an estimated 1.2 million people left ahead of the storm. However, tens of thousands of residents could not or would not leave. They either remained in their homes or sought shelter at locations such as the New Orleans Convention Center or the Louisiana Superdome. Many local agencies found themselves unable to respond to the increasingly desperate situation, as their own headquarters and control centres were under 20 feet (6 metres) of water.
It was not until September 2 that an effective military presence was established in the city and National Guard troops was mobilized (动员) to give out food and water. As the recovery began, dozens of countries contributed funds and supplies, and Canada and Mexico sent troops to the Gulf Coast to assist with the cleanup and rebuilding. U.S. Army engineers pumped the last of the floodwaters out of the city on October 11, 2005, storm caused more than $160 billion in damage, and the population of New Orleans fell by 29 percent between the fall of 2005 and 2011.

【推荐3】A trip to London
My family had dreamed of a trip to London for a long time. Luckily it was possible for us to realize our dream because all of us were free on the weekend.
We planned to drive into Cambridge and caught the 7: 34 train to Liverpool Street Station.Then my wife and I would separate from Joan, my wife’s sister, to do different things and finally meet again for lunch. And after lunch, we would go to the concert.
But we were late because of a thick London fog. The train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there. In spite of our late arrival, Joan decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping. It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn’t decided where we should meet for lunch. Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem. We didn’t have any mobile phones at that time. There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there. Needless to say, we didn’t find her.
It was now one o'clock, and the concert began at 2: 30. “Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” said my wife hopefully. By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by subway. Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be. An hour later we were still trying to find it.Just when I was about to become angry, we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found the subway station which was just fifty meters down the road.
By now it was far too late to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2: 30, so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took seven hours instead of the usual two to make that journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train. We were tired and hungry.
We finally reached home at ten. Opening the door we were amazed to find Joan at home; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant. Of course, she managed to get home, too. Oh my god!
