1. They Occur in Spring 2. Unpredictable Disaster 3. Violent Storm 4. Noisy Funnel

If you remember the well-known book 'The Wizard of Oz', you've got an idea of what a tornado is. Dorothy was taken away by a terrible storm that is called a tornado. Tornadoes are the most violent of all storms. Nobody can predict what they might do. They destroy houses, carry away people, trees, cars and telephone boxes. In many places people have seen various strange things falling from the sky: fish, furniture, small animals. Once in Russia during a tornado, people saw money falling from the clouds. The wind had removed the earth from some buried treasure and had picked up some old coins.

Tornadoes are very dangerous because they consist of strong winds. The scientists calculated that a tornado can reach a speed of up to 320 kilometres per hour.

That kind of a disaster might occur anywhere in the world, but they are most usual in the United States. The central states of the country have probably more tornadoes than any other place in the world.

Most tornadoes occur in the spring. A hot day in the afternoon or in the early evening is the most likely time for this dangerous storm. Large dark clouds appear in the sky. There are loud sounds of thunder in the distance. Bright flashes of lightning are seen. The clouds move closer and closer. One cloud then forms a funnel and begins to twist. It starts moving faster and faster. The faster the winds, the louder the noise. Sometimes there are several funnels at the same time. If the funnel touches the ground, it picks up everything it can. The violent winds of tornadoes blow down and ruin almost everything on their way.

Scientists monitor the situation and try to predict tornadoes. Fortunately, most tornadoes can be predicted. In this case people have the opportunity to protect themselves.

Ответ:

I think the most appropriate title is 3. Violent Storm. The text describes tornadoes as "the most violent of all storms," mentions that they "destroy houses, carry away people, trees, cars" and have "strong winds" of up to 320 kilometers per hour. It focuses on the destructive power and danger of tornadoes, which makes "Violent Storm" a very fitting title that covers the main idea of the whole text.

Я думаю, что наиболее подходящее название — 3. «Сильный шторм». В тексте торнадо описываются как «самые сильные из всех штормов», упоминается, что они «разрушают дома, уносят людей, деревья, машины» и имеют «сильные ветры» скоростью до 320 километров в час. Текст сосредоточен на разрушительной силе и опасности торнадо, что делает название «Сильный шторм» очень подходящим и охватывающим основную идею всего текста.
