What can people do when natural disasters (灾难）happen? Can we stop them? No, we can't. The only thing we can do is to 41 after the disasters.
Last year I met Mr. Flood. It started raining and 42 raining almost a month: the water on the streets got higher and higher every day. We used 43 instead of cars. We lost lots of things, including our businesses, our jobs and our homes.
Schools 44 and farms were destroyed. We ran out of food and clean water. In some places the water was higher than the buildings. I felt like we lived in a(n) 45 _ world.
Because of the flood, lots of 46 broke out. Because of the dead animals, some people 47 . The soil and other things made the water become very, very 48 _. That was in summer time, so though it was raining, the 49 was still high. The hot weather and really dirty water 50 the air very bad. Hospitals didn't have enough rooms for 51 .
When the flood was over, I looked around my city. The word “ 52 ” can describe the situation. Everything was destroyed and lots of people were sick, but we were very 53 .1 think.
We had to 54 our city, take care of the sick people, and start our schools again. I just 55 that one day, people can stop the natural disasters whenever they happen. After all, people are very clever.
