33、o keep useful things from being thrown away. This helps people and keeps waste out of the environment. Laura Gernell of Marmet, West Virginia, got a bicycle through the Freecycle Network last year. The largest give-and-take website is Freecycle. Org. Deron Beal started Freecycle as a non-profit () o
34、rganization in 2003. The site says it has more than 5,500,000 members in more than 75 countries. Joining is free. And all the goods offered on the site are free without any conditions.

35、ake a request for something once a week. And everything on the site must be for all ages. We spoke to a moderator in the Washington, D. C. area. She told us that there were about 100 members in her local group when she joined in 2003. Now there are more than 14,000 members. In addition to Freecycle,
36、 there are many similar websites such as reuseitnetwork. Org and freesharing. Org. Other websites let users exchange goods and services, or barter(物 物交换 ).

But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. Th
41、ese people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up. “Storm chasing(追逐 )” is becoming an increasing popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July
42、. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather report, and then drives up to 1000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop. Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air
43、 or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain.
