(39-43). Read the passage. Decide if the statements that follow are True or False and choose the

In The Wizard of oz, Dorothy and her dog Toto hide in a farmhouse to avoid a tornado. But the
twister picks up the entire house and then gently lowers it to the ground in a distant land. Regrettably,
tornadoes are not like that. They are powerful enough to move an entire house. But there is nothing
gentle about them. Instead, they are among the most violent and destructive forces in nature.
Most tornadoes form during thunderstorms. The conditions for their formation are ideal then.
Basically, warm air from one region and cold air from another area encounter each other. Then, the air
begins to spin rapidly. A tornado can form from this spinning air. Tornadoes spin at very fast rates.
Some of the most powerful ones have winds that move more than 500 kilometers per hour. Most
tornadoes are fairly thin columns of air. Yet some can extend for two or three kilometers. These
tornadoes utterly destroy anything in their paths.
One country that has a lot of tornadoes is the United States. A region of the country in the
Midwest and Southeast gets many tornadoes. In fact, so many tornadoes happen there that it is called
Tornado Alley. The states of Kansas and Oklahoma have the most tornadoes. Every spring, residents of
the states in Tornado Alley always watch the sky when there are storm clouds in it.
