高中二年级英语(人教版)上册 Unit 10 Integrating Skills 2

　　5 Title:

　　Big hurricanes are not often seen in the north of the USA, but on September 21, 1938 just as many summer tourists were on the beach, closing up their seaside cottages, a disaster hit. Walls of water, 50 feet high, swept homes and whole families out to sea. According to the author, no one could have been prepared for the 1938 storm. Only the captain of a ship 150 miles north of Florida might have given warning. He did use his radio to tell the coast guard that his barometer showed one of the lowest readings ever in the North Atlantic. Although other books have been written about this terrible disaster and the destruction it caused, this book has interviews with hurricane survivors, their families and friends.

　　6 Title:

　　The book is about a woman who lived her life, from earliest childhood, at the centre of the Vietnam War. This is her story of love and loss. It is the story of all women who have lived through a war, with only their love, hope and faith in God to give them the strength to go on living. A great biography of an amazing family!
