听力原文: Water is a continually changing, dynamic surface. This makes studying the weather much more important on the water than on land. For this reason, a simple 24-bour, pocket-sized weather radio should be standard equipment for your boat.
Storms send advance warnings if you know what to look for. Many weather changes can be read in the ever-changing cloud patterns. The first visual signs of a storm will appear in the west, southwest, or northwest. There will be a high cloud formation with a dirty bottom and a tall, stringy top as beginning boaters, my friends and I admired these beautiful cloud formations from our kayak on the Connecticut River on a day we will not forget. The violence of the hurricane-force winds that hit us in our small kayak will be remembered forever.
If you are in your boat, and a storm is on its way, don't try to outrun it. Head for a protected area. If you get stuck, use a bucket or any kind of drag attached to the anchor line, and sit or lie on the bottom of the boat. Many people drown in storms because they stand up, swing their arms, and holler for help. After the storm passes, the boat is floating peacefully without occupants. They fell overboard and drowned.

There was no funeral ceremony when the bodies were dumped into a 14-foot-deep hole at sunset Wednesday. Dozens of bystanders shrieked, held their noses against the stench and demanded officials collect bodies in nearby waterlogged fields.
The confirmed death toll rose to 1,072, with 1,013 bodies recovered in Gonaives alone, according to Dieufort Deslorges, spokesman for the government's civil protection agency.
He said the number of people missing in the floods rose to 1,250. Only a couple dozen bodies have been identified, and nobody was taking count at the site of the mass grave.
"We're demanding they come and take the bodies from our fields. Dogs are eating them," said bystander Jean Lebrun, listing demands made by residents in the neighborhood whose opposition to mass graves had delayed burials.
"We can only drink the water people died in," the 35-year-old farmer said, citing a lack of potable water in this city of 250,000, with parts still knee-deep in water five days after the storm's passage.
