| | | World New | Typhoon Sepat lashes Taiwan | by Steph Ball Typhoon Sepat made landfall across eastern Taiwan early on Saturday, lashing the island with torrential rain and strong winds.
Although Sepat reached super typhoon status, making it the strongest storm of this year's Pacific Typhoon Season, it weakened before making landfall on Taiwan. Sepat is the third major storm to hit Taiwan in a fortnight, battering the island with winds over 100mph and cutting power supplies to thousands of homes, uprooting trees and disrupting air and road travel.
Typhoon Sepat has now moved into the Taiwan Strait and is continuing to weaken as it roars towards China, where it is expected to make landfall this evening. More than half a million people have been evacuated from low-lying areas along China's southeast coast.
Meanwhile as Sepat weakens, Hurricane Dean has intensified to a Category 4 hurricane in the Caribbean and is heading straight for Jamaica. It is forecast to cross Jamaica during Sunday and could intensify further to a Category 5 over the next few days with winds exceeding 155mph (250km/h). Its present track has it coming onto the US mainland around Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula later on Wednesday.

| | Reading | | | During the Hsia dynasty, there were ten suns in the sky. People could not grow rice or vegetables. Ho-yi shot nine suns down and became the emperor. The goddess gave him a gift: a pill. The pill could make him live forever. He asked his wife, Chang-er to keep the pill. The power made Ho-yi a changed person. He was not kind any more. Chang-er knew that it was not good for people if Ho-yi lived forever, so she took the pill. After taking the pill, Chang-er flew slowly into the moon. It happened on the fifteenth day of the eighth month on the lunar calendar. People prepared fruits and preyed to the full moon for Chang-er at night on this day. This is the origin of Mid-autumn Moon Festival. | | | | Practice: Put the story in order. | | | 1.Chang-er took the pill and flew to the moon.
