It is also one of the most deadly phenomena. A bolt of lightning is six times hotter than the surface (表面) of the sun and gives out 30, 000 amps of electricity (电). It can travel at 100, 000 kilometers per hour and has the ability to hit a target up to 40 kilometers away. About 1,000 people around the world are killed by lightning every year.Only about ten percent of people struck (击中) by lightning will actually die, but the others are actually very badly injured (受伤), with burns, broken bones, blindness, deafness, paralysis, or memory l oss. However, when the electricity passes through their brains (大脑), it can occasionally have unusual a nd even positive effects (积极作用). Some blind (瞎的) people have got their sight back after being stru ck by lightning. One woman said a psychological test showed her intelligence (智力) had greatly improv ed (提高) and one man said he could no longer feel cold at all and could go out in temperature below zero in just a T-shirt!So what should you do to stay safe in a thunderstorm? The most important rule is to stay inside, but d o not go near phones, electrical appliances, plumbing or water. If you are struck outside, do not take sh elter under a tree. Instead, roll (卷) yourself up into a ball on the ground as small as possible. And do not think it has to be raining in order for lightning to strike.Strangely, lightning seems to prefer (偏爱) some people to others. If you are a man, you are more likel y to be struck by lightning than a woman!六、完成句子1.一阵大风从后面袭来，我几乎跌倒。
