1 . I was always complaining about wind or rain. Although it was nothing unusual for the arrival of wind or rain, it caused inconvenience for me to go out, and sometimes it even created an awful atmosphere, so I ________ it strongly.

On a rainy day a meteorologist (气象学家) I met was very ________ at my great anger caused by rain that made a little inconvenience for me.

He asked, “Have you ever seen typhoon? Do you know what would happen to the world if there were no typhoon?” I shook my head. I had no experience of how overwhelming it was when it ________ everything away in its way.

“Well, let me tell you,” the meteorologist said. “Without it the ________ of fresh water will be more serious, for it is a great ________ of water supply on earth. Without it, there would be a greater imbalance in the distribution of ________. The equatorial area that receives the most sunshine on earth ________ entirely on typhoon to disperse (驱散) heat. Without typhoon the tropics would be even ________ while the frigid zones much colder. As a result the temperate zones (温带) would ________ from the world...”

Ignorance made me________. I disliked wind only because it ruffled (吹乱) my hair. I hated rain merely because I had to carry an umbrella. But I had no idea at all that typhoon—something much more violent, something a thousand times more________ than wind or rain—was a(n) ________ to the existence of mankind.

________ no road on earth goes all the way on level ground, there’s no person in the world who can do whatever he pleases. Wrong as it is for people to guard against typhoon, it is advisable for a man to stop to think for a moment before he complains. “________ typhoon disappeared all together? What would the world become then?” The ________ will keep him calm and lead him closer to truth—he will be better aware of the world he lives in.
