But what if our bodies themselves are able to kill cancer? The winners of this years Nobel Prize in Medicine may have found this secret. From Oct. 1st to Oct. 8th, the 2018 Nobel Prize winners were announced in five categories (类别), including prizes for medicine, chemistry, physics, peace and economics (经济).One of the most amazing Nobel-winning achievements(成就) this year was in Medicine. James Allison from the United States and Tasuku Honjo in Japan shared the prize, the BBC reported. They found that our body has a special protein(蛋白质). It stops our body from fighting against cancer cells. By disabling this protein, they can allow the bodys immune(免疫的) system to fight cancer cells more efficiently, the New York Times reported.But cancer is not the only problem that people face. There is also the danger of global warming. This years winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics focused on this in their work. The economics prize was shared by two scientists. They found that creating a global carbon tax (税) is the most efficient way to fight climate change. This would make countries limit their carbon emissions(排放) or else pay a large amount of money.The Nobel Prize in Physics was given to three scientists who made new discoveries in laser (激光) physics. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was also shared among three scientists for their research on enzymes (酶) and antibodies (抗体).（1）This passage tells us about the _ in 2018. A .

They happen during “Hurricane Season, from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.Categories(类别)of HurricanesThere are five categories of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage(危害) a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm. For example, a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour, which are strong enough to break the buildings along the seaside completely.Hurricane DangersWhen a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall（降雨）, there can be a devastating flood. The centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye in fact is a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that its over, but before long the wind and rain increase(增长) again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.Hurricane Safety TipsThere is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured(受伤) if you go outside.HurricanesCharacteristicsDevastating waves, wind, and rain are usually the _of hurricanes.CategoriesHurricanes are _into five categories by scientists, based on wind speeds._The eye is the _of a hurricane.
