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.
