课时作业36　A land of diversity Ⅰ.阅读理解 At least 3 people are dead in the Philippines now that Typhoon Hagupit has landed. The typhoon, which hit the eastern Philippines over the weekend, has blown down trees and sent more than 650-thousand people into shelters before weakening. “There were very strong winds last night. The roof was beginning to move, and rain was getting inside the room，” said a villager. The storm hit with gusts(强风) of over 100-miles per hour.
